If the backs all match, and the hardware is in EX condition, then you are closer to the mark. OK. So you are going to buy the outfit, then. Great. Let us know how it works out.

Yes, all the numbers matched on the backs and the hardware and optics were in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically. I sold it locally enough that I was able to deliver it it person and take the $1800.00 cash that the buyer cheerfully handed over to me. It was a great buy IMHO of course :-) Gary Gaugler, Ph.D. Microtechnics, Inc. Granite Bay, CA 95746 916.791.8191 gary@microtechnics dot com Bob Ford Images In Motion www.imagesinmotion.com |

If you look at what you originally paid for all of the items and now got $1800 for them, what is your total loss? No need to answer that question since I have been there before. The/my point is this stuff is just not holding on to its value like it used to. This is sad. But it is reality. Hassy was over priced to begin with. But the Zeiss lenses are very tough to beat! I still love the 180CF. Gary Gaugler, Ph.D. Microtechnics, Inc. Granite Bay, CA 95746 916.791.8191 gary@microtechnics dot com |

news Great. You made out. If you look at what you originally paid for all of the items and now got $1800 for them, what is your total loss? So Gary, do you believe your current digital camera will last ten years - presuming you will use it? I predict you will spend more on digital cameras in ten years than you would for a single 'blad and lens, and all that time the quality of your images will be less than the hasselblad can produce - provided, of course, your standards are high enough. |

I predict you will spend more on digital cameras in ten years than you would for a single 'blad and lens, and all that time the quality of your images will be less than the hasselblad can produce - provided, of course, your standards are high enough. Well, my current digicam is a Nikon D1x accompanied by a CP5000. these are for normal shooting. I found that landscapes and nature stuff is too mundane and redundant to warrant any attention. Consequently, I have "focused" on only scientific images over the past five to six years. This is done with optical microscopes and scanning electron microscope equipment. All are digital. My history and recent work can be seen at http://www.photoweb.net The b/w nudes are quite good IMO, and really convey the quality of the Zeiss lenses on the Blad. That said, there is not much market for this sort of images or landscapes... any one with a camera is a competitor. So, I do scientific images only. My standards are based on what my agencies will or can sell. Gary Gaugler, Ph.D. Microtechnics, Inc. Granite Bay, CA 95746 916.791.8191 gary@microtechnics dot com |

I see you cannot resist making an opportunity to be arrogant. Well, we don't care that you do not do landscapses. Moving on, then; Consequently, I have "focused" on only scientific images over the past five to six years. This is done with optical microscopes and scanning electron microscope equipment. All are digital. Okay. All you had to say was that you don't _need_ high quality images. I will stand by my prediction. You will replace that digital camera more three times in the next ten years. |
