David, I use to be a collector of cameras. I am the proud owner of the Hasselblad 1600 F, the first model sold. I got it in 1983. The focal plane shutter still functions and I occasionally take it out and shoot. The aperture is automatic. You have to manually close down the lens before shooting. I got lucky a couple of years after I got the 1600 when I found the 90mm Kodak Ektar lens that fits the old Hassy. I also now own a telephoto lens and a wide angle for it. Hassy later came out with the 1000 F model. I heard that the shutters on them were terrible. Then came the Compur Hasselblads of much renown.
