AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hasselblad 500CM medium format camera in black, offered as a complete set with Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 CF lens, Hasselblad Acute Matte 42170 matte finder, A12 film magazine, PME-5 lightmeter finder with built-in light meter and waist-level finder.
The camera has been personally used and maintained by me with the aim of keeping it in reliable technical condition for the long term. I am selling it because I own several medium format cameras and have noticed that the 6x6 format is not the size I use most.
Included in this set
* Hasselblad 500CM body, black 1987
* Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 CF lens
* Hasselblad Acute Matte 42170 matte frame
* Hasselblad A12 120-film magazine
* Hasselblad PME-5 exposure meter with built-in light meter
* Hasselblad waist-level finder
* Hasselblad UV filter
* Hasselblad camera strap
* 3D-printed sun hood
Service / CLA
The Hasselblad 500CM body received an extensive professional service/revision in 2026. The invoice for this service is available and included.
According to the service invoice the following work was performed on the body:
* Body planparallel aligned
* Mechanism restored/adjusted
* Mechanism cleaned and lubricated
* Position of ground glass and mirror adjusted
* Mirror stabilization renewed
* Covering of the aux. shutter/flaps renewed
The A12 film magazine was also serviced in 2026. The magazine was cleaned and lubricated and the light seals were replaced.
The Carl Zeiss lens was not part of the CLA/service in 2026.
Technical condition
The camera functions fully as expected in my use. Film transport, shutter operation and focusing work correctly.
The Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 CF is optically clean and free of fungus and haze. The diaphragm blades are clean. During my use I did not experience any issues with the shutter speeds.
The PME-5 light meter functions correctly. I compared the readings with two separate external light meters and obtained corresponding values.
The Acute Matte ground glass is identified as the Hasselblad 42170. I do not have the original packaging and therefore cannot document this with the original box. I have, however, compared the ground glass extensively with a confirmed 42170 specimen whose original packaging was present; both ground glasses matched.
Cosmetic condition
The body, the lens and the accessories are, for their age, in very good used condition, with normal signs of use. Please review the photos carefully; they form an important part of the description of the condition.
The waist-level finder shows more pronounced cosmetic signs of use than the rest of the set, but functions fully as intended.
No other technical faults are known to me.

Hasselblad 500CM body: RU1401818
