I have 2 EL, 1EL/M and a couple of 500C bodies also 5 or 6 C and CF lenses that have been stored unused for maybe 25 years in cases. What precautions should I take if I want to see if they still work properly. Thank you for your time, I’m in the USA
The story behind the late C's having the interchangeable screens is that Hasselblad still had a number of 500C name plates and wanted to use those up first before switching over to the C/M ones. Don't know if that's true or an urban legend about them.
That’ll be a definite no, sorry! The Hasselblad 70mm back is a very, very niche product and probably only used by a handful of photographers worldwide (Hasselblad discontinued it decades ago because of a lack of demand). How/why are you using 70mm film? Your experience will be far greater than mine!
@@WorldwideCameraExchange I am considering shooting a short film made if still shots. I am using a Hasselblad 555 ELD. I need a back that wont run out just as I get into a rhythm. I guess I’ll use three 24 shot backs. You channel is awesome and informative
There’s no reason not to use a Hasselblad 70mm back. You can pick them up cheaply. You should get it serviced and also check the cassettes carefully for light tightness.
No! The Hasselblad FE lenses don’t have a shutter. You need the C, CT, CF or CFE lenses for the 500CM camera. Confused by Hasselblad lenses? C, CT*, CF, CFI, CFE, F? We explain the differences th-cam.com/video/b0wquK04PdU/w-d-xo.html
Excellent overview
Thanks - appreciated

Ask a good Hasselblad repairer to check them out. After 25 years servicing will be necessary.

Yes, I’ve heard that story. I’m not sure I believe it …. would Hasselblad’s marketing team let that happen, just to save a few Krona?
Would you consider a video about the 70mm back for Hasselblad? And about loading un loading film into the back? Great channel, by the way

PS it sounds like an interesting project. Please share a link when finished.
Please tell me if the Hasselblad Carl Zeiss Tele-Tessar 350mm f/4 FE T* lens is compatible with the 500CM body?

I thought so, thank you!
Excellent camera for 120
Hasselblad 500CM is one of the best!
