Hi guys :Grin:

I was hoping those who use Medium format cameras here can help me. Recently I was inspired to try using a medium format film camera my dad had when he used to take pictures for a living (Before I was born). And well its in good shape but it has definitely seen better days. Would anyone know where i can have it serviced? Its a Hasselblad 500C/M with the kit 80mm 2.8. [some mold and some debris inside :(]

Also he's been wanting to get back into Photography is it possible to get a digitalback for it? Ballpark figure?

Thanks in Advance,
Marton :Grin:

Hi Marton,

You can try Shiriro singapore. I have my H2D service by them. I'm not sure though if your model has an available digital back adaptor or if it is DB capable. You can also ask from them look for Patricia Lim, or you can look for Boon.

Thanks Arnel :)

I was hoping though for a place thats local, but if there's none ill look into Shiriro Singapore :)

I'm not sure here, The last time i checked there's no reliable service center here, much more for digital back, the nearest reliable is shiriro hk, or shiriro sg. They are co owners of hassies.:) Very reliable, efficient guys. and nice too. look for patricia. just let me know i can send you her email. or google shiriro.

Thanks again Arnel! :) Hopefully ill get to go to hongkong in two weeks time and bring it myself. Actually found out that I can get a Digital Back for it [Good news for my Dad]. :Grin:

Btw, H2D... Drool... hahaha

i got my mamiya serviced in a shop right beside avenue photo. cleaning and overhaul of a body and lens... costs around 3-4K. forgot the name though.

hehehe

@Nino,
Thanks for the info :) Where's Avenue Photo if you don't mind me asking? :)

btw, I got encouraged to try it out when I saw you and your mamiya last sat haha :Grin:
