Vick,

You are obviously not a registered Hasselblad user on the Hasselblad site, if you were you would have received the same notice I did in November about the Hasselblad demo sale where CFV 39Mp backs were going for just over $11k with full warranty from Hasselblad. If you keep your eyes open you can find a used 22Mp back around the $3k mark.

I think the phenomena is due to lack of collectors.

Users aren't paying the big bucks for Hasselblad.

There are a lot of new gizmos to spend the big bucks on, which arguably don't provide the same "value" as the wonderful old Hasselblad lenses.

And the Hasselblad digital back, is still out of reach for most. I saw a $15K digital back available in the local photo store, and the sales guy said, "Well, they aren't flying off the shelves". Yet, he has recently sold two Leica M9's at $7K each.

That is a 35 year old lens.

On the other hand, prices for modern lenses (Fe, CFi, CFe) have recovered nicely from their mid-decade lows. That should tell you something.

At the very least, it says that non-collectors are mostly interested in the later lenses.

150 Sonnar C T* lens in E- condition for $300.

It's a sad day.,....

The lowest I have seen.....and from a reputable source.....
