Hi, I’m looking to trade my Hasselblad 500C and it’s Carl Zeiss Planar C T* 80mm f/2.8 lens for a fully functional Bolex H16 REX-5 camera (or any other REX series Bolex). I am okay with a Bolex that comes without lenses. It should have minimal cosmetic flaws. The person willing to trade their fully functional Bolex H16 REX-5 (or other REX) must be able to ship it to Sweden. When it comes to paying for shipping I’ll pay for shipping of the Bolex to me and the recipient will pay for me shipping the Hasselblad to them. I have PayPal available and will thus handle monetary transactions through it. Any details of a deal can be worked out in the DMs. When proposing a trade via the DMs please send as many useful images as possible along with descriptions of any flaw or issue. The Hasselblad is in very good condition and comes with the below: Carl Zeiss Planar C T* 80mm f/2.8 lens in very good condition with no cosmetic or functional flaws. The distance scale is in meters on this lens. As far as I can tell, there is no dust or scratch that affects the image. UV filter with B50 mount. Original neck strap in top condition. Camera body 500C (NOT “C/M”) built in 1967 with serial number “TU 72801” with fixed focusing screen. Film magazine model/variant C12 built in 1967 with serial number “TU 106361”. “Waist-level finder” as seen in the pictures. The loupe in it is in good condition as is the spring mechanism that unfolds it. This camera works well and I have tested it with several rolls of 120 film in recent months. The exposures are very good and the shutter speeds seem great. The included example image was captured with Kodak Ektachrome E100 120-film and scanned to TIFF before being compressed to work on this forum.

Hi everyone! I am looking to purchase a Bolex Rex 5 camera body. I am interested in cameras that are already in good working condition and not so much of a “fixer-upper”. If anyone has any leads that would be much appreciated! I am NYC based and am happy to pick up within the NY area.

Anyone interested is swapping cameras... Super16 Bolex REX5 for a Nikon 7200...? Arthur!
