Current market price for Xpan I + 45mm lens (mint condition)

[scion]

Hello all,

Let me introduce myself, my name is Brian and I have been shooting with rangefinders such as the Leica M and Contax iia. Recently I came acrossed some panoramic pictures taken by the Hasselblad Xpan on the internet which made me very interested in trying one.

I would like to start with the Xpan I and 45mm lens first and just wondering what is the reasonable price for a set in mint condition, also what sort of things should I pay attention to when testing the camera? Thank you in advance.

This is one of the good things about Ebay. You can see what the market value is of certain items. That's how I figure out the worth of certain items.

Prices vary rather widely, the cosmetic state of the body being a major factor.

Whatever you do, go for flawless glass. The painting on the body is Hasselblad-quality (read: junk, anything painted on a HB is suspect basically ;-)

You can retrieve the number of exposures from the LCD, please check the Xpan manual for how to do so.

Hi, everyone - this is my first post here!

@Brian -
I had this conversation with the owner of a well known camera retail store recently; I am in the process of insuring my cameras and was trying to figure out what an XPAN II with the 45/4 lens would sell for at retail in "9" used condition.

His reply was $2600 USD for the camera body, lens and lens hood.

Hope this will help.
