Apparently, you are in recovery. I, unfortunately, just placed a bid on a Zenit.

Gorgeous! Did you buy it?
Thanks, yep I bought it. I have 30 days to test the camera and can return it for a full refund if it's buggered.

You'll have to excuse the Swedish camera p*^n for a little while longer, I haven't had any film developed to share yet...

Hasselblad SWC/M in the sun for it's first outing today.

Have looked on Ebay....OMG!!!
I can buy three 500C/M with 80mm lens for what they are asking for one of these!
What makes them so special?

What cooltouch said... Check out the price for a nice used 40mm Distagon (the closest equivalent to the SWC's 38mm Biogon that you can actually mount on a 500 series). Also, check out the size

Update: I won the Zenit...1988 Automat in apparently reasonable condition with a clean Helios 44K-4 attached. I think it is $25 USD well spent (+ $8 shipping from Los Angeles), even if the body is a paperweight.

Photos to follow.
