Hasselblad 500 CM C/M + Zeiss 80mm Planar T* - Medium Format, Perfectly Working

Film tested and in perfect working condition. Externally cleaned and sanitized. Comes with Planar T* coated lens.

As visible in the pictures the camera comes in good overall condition. Some general wear, especially on the chrome parts, but no major defects such as dents or missing leatherette.

Focusing screen shows no defects and the internal palpas coating seems new.

The lens looks almost perfectly clear, free of fungus or significant dust. Minor haze inside, visible on one internal element lens' border, that seems not to affect image quality. Mechanical conditions are good, with clean aperture and precise shutter.

What's included

Condition recap

The Hasselblad 500 C/M is a fully mechanical medium format SLR system camera built around a modular design. It uses 120/220 roll film to produce 6×6 cm negatives, delivering high image detail and tonal depth. The camera features an interchangeable film back, viewfinder, and focusing screen, allowing rapid configuration changes without unloading film.

At its core is a leaf-shutter lens system (Compur) integrated into Carl Zeiss optics, enabling flash synchronization at all shutter speeds up to 1/500 s. Shutter speeds range from 1 s to 1/500 s plus Bulb, entirely mechanical and independent of batteries. The body incorporates a mirror reflex viewing system with a waist-level finder as standard, supporting precise manual composition.

The 500 C/M employs the V-system bayonet mount, compatible with a wide range of Zeiss C and CF lenses. Focusing is fully manual via a precision helical focusing mechanism. Construction is based on a metal chassis, designed for dimensional stability and long-term mechanical accuracy. The camera supports multiple focusing screens, including split-image and microprism options, optimizing focusing precision across shooting conditions.

Overall, the 500 C/M is a purely mechanical, professional medium format platform, engineered for system flexibility, optical performance, and consistent operation without electronic dependency.
