So I’ve been researching cameras. I really want a square format (6×6) 120 SLR. I was originally looking for alternatives to the Hasselblad 500, as that’s a pretty expensive item, but it looks like the (good) alternatives aren’t that much cheaper, so…. should I spring for the Hassie?
The one I want is the 500C/M, that’s currently USD 325 on KEH for one with a waist level finder and the rapid winder crank.
An A12 back is 99 bucks.
Planar 80mm F/2.8: $286.
PME metering prism finder: 119.
Caps, lens hoods etc : 75.
Grand total: $904 + shipping + tax = ca $1200.
Ouch.
The film was pretty cheesy, btw.
