James,
I agree, It's worth what it's worth, if your not selling it who cares what
it's worth. Go for the SWC/M same camera just cheaper, the lens design has
never changed since it was first introduced in the early 50's. Arc's are
going to stay high for a while because they are great digital bodies and use
different lens. The flexbody uses the same V series lenses the rest of the
bodies use and can be had for about $1400 while an Arcbody and 1 lens will
set you back $3000 min.

Well I know you may not want to hear this but I like the idea that the
prices are low and i hope they stay that way. I need to get some more lens,
I only have a 60mm and 80mm so I need at least a 150mm or a zoom. I would
also like to get a 903SWC but they are still around 2000.00 an Arcbody or
Flexbody one or the other not both are on my list but they are still to
high. I want to know why you want the prices to go up unless you are going
to sell them. I want to shoot film and so I want to get them as cheap as
possible. Just because they are low priced does not make them cheaply made,
they are some of the best cameras and lens made.

Q.G.
All of the Carl Zeiss/Hasselblad lenses I have - and know of that others
have here in Norway, are in perfect working order. My three lenses (250,
80, and 50) , which I bought myself almost 40 years ago works perfect. A
friend of mine have similar series (150, 80, 50) of these shiny examples
from the end of the 60 - also in perfect condition...
It is the testament to the quality of the Hasselblad gear. I think it is
just a matter of time before prices will go up and the V-series gear will
become collectors items.

this set of gear is only 13 years old, - almost new.
