Hasselblad 500C/M A12 Film Back parts source?

[RichW]

Hi all,

Am looking for these parts for my Hasselblad A12 film backs -

Dark slide x 2
Light Seals x 2
Leatherette back replacement x 1

For the leatherette I have found this site -
http://www.cameraleather.com/online_ordering.htm


For the light seals I have found this site -

For the dark slides I am stuck!

Any advice? Are these two sources the best choice and has anyone any idea on the dark slides? Maybe I should contact Hasselblad directly for all these parts - is that likely to be more expensive? I dont care about third party as long as the quality is there although

Cheers!
Richard

The hasselblad USA store sells dark slides directly. http://www.hasselbladusastore.com/search.php?search_query=dark+slide&x=0&y=0

$22 each

Not sure if they have a UK store...

Dark slides? Aren't they common on ebay? What about David Odess? http://www.david-odess.com/

David Odess of course!

For the ligh seal I use the following also available on egay!

Very easy to set...

Thanks for the replies, I can't find the Hasselblad UK store but $22 dollars for the dark slides is what I would want to pay - There dont seem to be any on ebay except for bent used ones!

David looks like a good source although once again he is in the US, would be good to be able to get these parts in the UK, maybe i'll contact Hasselblad UK directly to see if they can supply them - I don't see why they shouldn't be able to

Cheers,
Richard

Any pro camera repair shop should have the dark slides in their parts bin left over from non repairable backs. Also the seal kits. And, they can probably install the new seals along with cleaning and lubricating the backs at a reasonable charge.

IN the US there is also KEH.com.
