Hasselblad 500C - Shutter Jammed
A full CLA after storing it for years.
My advice:
Please contact your local technician first.
If the repair takes longer than 2 months
or the cost is too high,
then feel free to contact me and my team
We don’t just repair according to the symptoms you reported, but we check everything.
Lens - Reset the lens shutter speed control gear system, clean the lens elements, check for accurate focus, check self-timer, check flash socket.
Body - Calibrate focus, check shutter cocking gear, oil and grease, clean the gear system.
Film Back - Check frame spacing, check frame count according to magazine type, replace light seals to prevent light leaks, check magazine counter operation, check if the attachment to the camera body is secure or not.
_ And anything else that we think your camera, lens, and film magazine will be cared for in the best possible way.
This short video is for owners
who have difficult cases:
- Cases that are hard to find repairman
- Cases that never seem to get finished
- Cases where the repair cost ended up very high
- Cases where you’ve been waiting for months and months
If you’ve run out of options, you can contact me and my team directly, John 😄
