Black Hasselblad 500c's are as addictive as black Nikon F's.

There is a kit at the local used camera store, with a beautiful black chrome C T* lens and black body. But the WLF and magazine are chrome. No matter, the lens is mint. This lens is prone to having the bayonet eyes worn to the metal, but this one is mint. The iris might need some attention because of age, but, that is minor.

I'm tempted to bring it home.

I am a fan of chrome bodies, have four of them. Two 500 C/M's, one signed by Dr. Hasselblad, and two 500 EL/M's.

I also prefer the black C T* lenses, I have the 30, 40, 50, 60, two 80's, 100, 135 Planar-S, 135 Bellows Planar, 150, 250, and 350. The only ones I don't have from the original 70's lineup, are the 500mm, the 250 Apochromat, and the UV Sonnar.

The Erector Set of Photography 😀 Now, collecting all the original accessories is FUN and somewhat addictive, as is using all this stuff.

i like the chrome as much and it holds up better...

You just need to add a black paint M and that's the trifecta peak of film system goodness.
