Hi Hamish only back today as Bank Holiday yesterday LOL Forgive me but can you explain CLA I can not work out what you require ??? Probably something obvious knowing my luck but can not work it out for the life of me.Regards work we have our own in /out house chap who we use & I have known as a work mate & friend since 1984 so would trust him totaly.
Cheers

I'm reliably informed it stands for Clean lubricate and adjust ...
A service ...
That rear curtain is a little flappy and I'd like the VF to be given a once over as the light meter is a little dicky and sometimes reads out ... The back is perfect I think, but I wouldn't mind it all looked over really!
In house eh, perfect!
So ... Are you reasonable? Do I get mates rates

I think I have worked out CLA Clean Lubricate Adjust ??

We can get that done for you, we would only charge for work that is required to be done overall so would need to see the camera & have it looked at, not realy much to do on the V system, old adage says if it aint broke dont fix it works very well on these cameras.

I would take a stab at £95.00 for a service plus parts if required ie light trapings on the backs, though if any were needed an estimate would be done first & is no charge from ourselves.
Hope this helps, Lehmanns do not do Hasselblads for your information.
Any questions please feel free to get in touch.

Light meters in the Hasselblad prisms were never realy spot on from New & used more as a guide really by most PROS I worked with.

The seals are perfect, it's mostly this rear curtain
Scroll down to the photos of it

A guide, yes... I would expect anything else really ... But the guide was guiding me 4 stops out for a few hours the other day ...

We can get the flap sorted for you probably as part of the service, the meter being out will as Pete said be down to a miss match for the screen so it will be out of callibration, the new accute matte screen Pete sends should sort that but again we could check the prism out at the same time for any problems for you.
If you want to give me a call on 01625 575591 please do feel free to do so, here to help wherever possible.

... ive adjusted for the screen loosing a stop by setting the vf to f4 ... thats not the issue, the issue is it sometimes being 4 shots out and sometimes being spot on ...
Ill give you a buzz soon to arrange ... im enjoying using it to much to send it away at the mo
