Condition report:

The Hasselblad 555ELD was the top tier professional camera system in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was actually marketed higher than the famous 503 series, since this was Digital ready, hence the D in 555ELD naming. It shoots like a traditional Hasselblad V series body and was based around the earlier EL/M series, where the batteries are below the mirrorbox. The camera automatically resets the mirror, cocks the shutter and advances the film electronically after each shot. It was designed for professional use and loved by photographers who needed to work quick, perfect for portrait or studio photography but also documentary or wedding shoots.

When combined with the standard A12 magazine you can shoot 12 exposures on 120 film, of course the traditional square 6×6 negative sizes. Shutter speeds range from 1s to 1/500th and bulb/T modes. These later and upgraded 555 bodies need AA batteries in stead of the often broken and hard to find older cells. Easy to find good batteries for. Perfect kit for people who like to shoot quick and a lot, quite underrated nowadays. The kit was technician checked and all the shutterspeeds are perfect, spot on.

The kit comes with a 150mm F/4 Sonnar lens, this CF version has upgraded ergonomics and controls. The body has bright Acute focusing screen with + marking in the middle. The supplied A12 back received new lightseals and works as intended. A focusing handle is installed on this lens, original rear cover ring not supplied. The lens has very clean optics, no fungus or haze inside, just some tiny dust specs. The installed WLF needs some help opening sometimes but does the job perfectly fine. Cosmetic wise the camera is in great condition as well, no big damages, just some tiny scratches on the bottom and frequently touched places.

Main specs of the Hasselblad ELM / ELX:

The 500EL/M will need batteries to operate, a large rechargable battery pack is fitted in the bottom side of the camera. Finders, backs, screens, lenses and even the release buttons can be interchanged based on your preference. After each exposure the camera will automatically advance to the next frame, lower the mirror and cock the shutter again. Shutters are located inside the Carl Zeiss lenses and will normally have speeds ranging from 1/500th down to 1 full second. The EL/M works with all the backs including A12, A24, A16 and the often seen 70mm bulk back for long continuous shooting by aerial photographers and even NASA.

The EL/X is an improved version of the EL/M. The main difference is the larger mirror that allows for a slightly better view on the focusing screen and TTL flash sensor.

Hasselblad ELM / ELX variants:

Both the EL/M and EL/X can be found in full black or the classic silver chrome versions. Some special editions have been made including a Lunar version to honour the moonlandings, where these camera's were actually used.

The most bespoken ''issue'' of the EL series is the power supply. The older batteries often are not ok anymore or don't charge well anymore. Luckily we always test these camera's with different power supplies and if the original batteries eventually die, you can nowadays buy specific battery converters to use with larger and more modern battery packs.
