Panoramic Camera

I’m selling some of my beloved film cameras – my Linhof Technorama 617 S III panoramic camera, Hasselblad 501cm and my Nikon F3.

The Linhof Technorama is a medium format panoramic camera. It captures massive 6cm by 17cm (2.25″ by 7″) negatives on 120 film. Many of the worlds top panoramic landscape photographers use the Technorama, including Peter Lik, Ken Duncan and Christian Fletcher.

Ideal for hand-held use producing professional large format quality which can normally only be achieved with 5×7 in. large format cameras” – Linhof website.

My boxed Linhof Technorama 617 S III panoramic camera body comes with a 90mm Super Angulon XL f5.6 wide angle lens, viewfinder and center filter.

Hasselblad 501cm

I’m also selling my Hasselblad 501CM with a CF50mm and a CF150mm lens, PM90 metered finder and two A12 120 film backs. I used this camera for my landscape work but loved to take it with me on the occasional celebrity portrait shoot. The Hasselblad’s square format was cool a long time before instagram or iPads came about.

The Hasselblad kit also includes three extension tubes (8, 10 and 21), for macro photography, and a focus view magnifier.  US$2900

CF50mm f4.0 and a CF150mm f4.0 lens. The glass is immaculate.

The Hasselblad is the perfect camera system for anybody wanting to leap in to medium format film photography.

Nikon F3hp

My Nikon F3 hp is also looking for a new home. This classic 35mm film camera comes with two very fast lenses. A 50mm f1.2 and a 24mm f2.0. I used a Nikon F3 in the early days when I was first employed as a press photographer in 1989. US$850
