I have listed my Hasselblad Winder CW on eBay for £200, a going rate for one in the condition mine is in. I hope to pick up a buyer, someone who is more interested in having one of these than I am. I need to see if I can get hold of a couple of screws for the flash unit and sort something out on it before I can list it. I would like to list the flash and the had grip at the same time. Meanwhile, if the winder goes at the asking price, that puts me £200 in the right direction. Another £350 to £400 would put my total for a new camera at £500 – £550 after eBay gets its share. Fingers crossed there is someone out there that really wants these things! I’d sure love to see them turned into something I could use everyday, like a Canon EOS 40D with a lens to get started with! Then I can upgrade as needed later while producing some income off the digital camera in my home studio! First lens to pick up will be a 50mm with wide aperture. Of course, that’s assuming a 17 – 85mm lens comes with the camera.
I am holding fire on working with the Hasselblad much because I may need the film for my daughter’s first Christmas. We have access to our second son’s digital camera for Christmas pictures, but low resolution and high noise make it less than desirable for such important photos as her first Christmas!
Last thing to admit to here is that if I could get a Canon 50D instead, I would!
Stay tuned!
