FS: Cambo Wide DS for Hasselblad H with 35mm lens

[Lust4Life]

This past September I purchased a new Cambo WDS Kit with the 35mm lens.
Promptly after purchase came PhotoKina and Hasselblad dropped their price of the H3DII-39 and I bought it.

Fine I thought, I can use the Cambo with it.

Decided today to not go that route - I'm going the route of the Hasselblad HTS device when it comes out in a couple of months.
Just makes no sense to me to have two cameras/lenses to haul around.

Thus, sell my Cambo WDS Kit.

Here's what I have:
Cambo WDS body, in as new condition with original packing.
Schneider 35mm f/5.6 Digitar XL lens and len spanel with no more than 10 clicks on it!  In new condition.
H series adapter plate.  In new condition.

Price at Calumet is $6500 - I'm willing to part with it for $4850/OBO
Will ship world wide with shipping at buyers expense.

Contact me at jack@shadowsdancing.com

Thanks,
Jack

PS:  I would also consider taking in trade Hasselblad HC 150 or 300 lenses.  I currently have the 28mm (which is great) and the 80mm.

Price now lowered to $3950.00 for WDS, H1 Plate and 35mm lens Kit.  Will include the Big Wave Energy Port to power your Hasselblad digital back when on the Cambo.

Retail at Calumet Photo for the Cambo Kit is $6499!

Willing to consider a Hasselblad HC 100 mm or 210mm lens in partial trade for Cambo Kit.

Item is still available for purchase.
Would prefer 100mm lens on trade allowance over a 210.

Wonderfull work Jack (I went to your website) and lovely kit, did any of the images from your website come from this kit ? If so can you tell me which ones... did you do any nice funky stitching with that lens ?

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the compliment on my work - positive feed back is sincerely appreciated!

As to your question, I've only shot off 8 images, and they were test images, with the Cambo.  
I purchased the Cambo on the premise I'd be able to pack the Cambo and the H3DII in my back pack and hike all day.
At 62 year, that just isn't going to happen, thus selling Cambo.

All of the "Recent Images" were shot with my new H3DII-39 and generally the 28mm lens.  I've found the digital image of the H3DII-39 to be much to my liking.  I'd previously shot with the H2D and a Phase One Plus P45.  Prior to that I shot Ebony 4x5 and Hasselblad 503cw, processed film myself in a PhotoTherm SK8, then scanned on my own Howtek HiResolve 8,000 line drum scanner.

When the 39MP MFD back came out, I found I could generate a better working file with direct digital as compared to film/drum scan.

Again, thanks for the encouragement,
Jack
