<p>hello, i recently bought a hasselblad 1600f, is in mint condition works just fine, but i was wondering when was it made cuz I can't find any info about this camera can anyone help me know a little more about it.<br /> thanks<br /> joe</p>

<p>btw the serial numbers for the camera and lenses are<br>

<p>btw i think i got it very cheap i payed 160.000 bs which is about 380$ and it cmed in a leather bag with all the filters 2 lenses (ektar 80 and 135 mm) 2 backs, attachments for flash, cable shutter, the original strap, and a light meter that i think it has to be calibrated.</p>

<p>1949 is by far the most common production year of Kodak lenses for Hasselblad. Treat that 1600F very gently, they are divas.<br>

<p>Jose,</p>

<p>You would be very happy with the two Kodak Ektar lenses. Superb sharp and Rare.</p>

<p>At one time in the past I had a 1600F around number 500 that mostly worked and those 2 wonderful Ektar lenses. I also had the original Zeiss Tessar for the Hasselblad. In the book on Hasselblad history it was stated that Hasselblad turned to Zeiss only because the Kodak lenses were too expensive. The Heliar based standard length Ektar certainly knocked the socks off the Tessar.</p>
