You are bidding on a Hasselblad H1 Medium Format SLR Autofocus Camera Kit with Viewfinder HV90x, Magazine HM and 80mm f/2.8 HC Lens all in excellent plus condition. The outfit ships with all magazine, body and lens caps plus instruction book.
The Hasselblad H1 System offers a state of-the-art auto-focus system for fast and convenient handheld photography under rapidly changing conditions. The H System was designed, more than any other camera on the market today, to match the way that today's photographers work - and the speed and demands of the world they work in. The flagship of the H System, the H1, is a truly cross-platform camera, using both film and digital backs with equal ease. The H1 combines a range of convenient features comparable to high-end 35mm cameras with the quality of the Hasselblad medium format. This modular 645-format camera is a feature-packed camera with rapid auto-focus and advanced metering and exposure control. Detachable film magazines allow the photographer to exchange exposed film for unexposed in seconds, or change between film types, lengths, and formats without losing a single frame. Carrying extra, pre-loaded film magazines effectively increases your readiness and efficiency, in the studio or in the field.
The H System lends itself to handheld photographic applications or any situations where both speed and image quality are of primary importance. The system accepts an interchangeable film back that contains a film insert for 120 or 220 film. The backs have automatic film length setting and built-in curtain type, dark slide. Film is automatically wound on and off and film barcode recognition is standard. Multi-mode exposure metering using the 90 degree viewfinder makes shooting a breeze. Metering options include Center-weighted, Average and Spot (7.5 mm).
Everything about this camera is high-performance. From the large, bright viewfinder which delivers crisp, clear views to the over 30 programmable functions in the body, this machine has more than something for everyone. The design includes four buttons which allow you to finesse the camera with short-cuts to reach your favorite programs rapidly and efficiently.
The built-in flash, primarily used as a fill flash has a guide number of about 24 and can be adjusted to -2 stops. When used as intended, this "pop" flash can open shadows on a bright day just enough to render detail in a shadow area at minimal distances. In addition to the fill flash, by using the SCA 3902 Flash Adapter, any flash compatible with the SCA3002 system can be used. This will give you the option to use any one of a number of flashes - small or large - to achieve flash exposure not possible with other cameras.
From data imprinting to the dot-matrix LCD display, to the exclusive "Profile" function, the H1 is a tough, professionally rated camera for the serious photographer.
