The gentleman I purchased it off had run about 20 to 30 rolls through it. It's a 78 Body but the guy is a "collector" more than an avid shooter. It's definitely not seen "pro" work as the body is in great shape. No wear or tear b/w the back and body either. The blades look extremely nice and the lens is crystal clear. All in all, an excellent camera.. now.. if I can only figure out how to work it :-)

Eventually, the teflon wears off, and the shutter crashes. A friend of mine wore an 80mm lens shutter out in just over a year of hard use. Personally, I don't think you can get a better camera than the 500 series Hasselblad. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
