Hasselblad H1 Leaf Valeo 17Wi digital back and extras (£1)
You are looking at my Hasselblad H1 with Leaf Valeo 17Wi + lenses and extras in PRISTINE CONDITION!
I have all receipts for the items listed and I am selling this camera, digital back, lenses etc. because it has been in storage for several months and was bought as a spare
because I used the 22mp Valeo back (not for sale) for most of my shoots.
It seemed a shame to leave it in it's box, so I decided to sell it.
This kit has only been used on location only a few times and has been used as a studio camera for its short life.
Comes with cables, software, white balance adapter, grey card, and power adapter, plus cleaning materials for sensor.
Having used both the 17 and 22mp versions of the Leaf Valeo, I can honestly say there is little difference in picture output, with both delivering superb pictures of a professional standard.
I'm sure some anorak will disagree with me, but I've seen pics from this camera blown up to bilboard size with no loss to image quality whatsoever. Also, I've compared the two digital backs in studio situations and location and there is minimal difference.
The Leaf back is Mac compatible and I have used it with a Mac Powerbook G4 and an iMac.
The Storm case has a few scratches (and I mean "a few") but is only cosmetic and apart from this is in excellent condition.

- The HP iPAQ pocket PC emulates a 6 x 7cm "Polaroid" or a Digital Proof. The large display makes instant image and composition evaluation practical. You can use the HP iPAQ pocket PC to view images off camera, sitting with an art director or a customer away from the set. Furthermore, it serves as your light meter, viewing light box and contact sheet. The iPAQ pocket PC is your personal photographic assistant providing you with complete and practical control of your photography session.
The Leaf Valeo Wi family uses built-in Bluetooth wireless technology to accomplish two-way communication between the camera and the HP iPAQ pocket PC, an image display and control unit. By using the Leaf DP-67 image display and control unit, users can zoom-in on high resolution images that display instantly, verify focus, set camera parameters or even manage files and folders from a distance of up to 10 meters (33 feet). The HP iPAQ pocket PC acts as both a digital proof and a personal photographic assistant. This piece of kit is great to attach to your wrist or give to and art director to sit in another room (out of your way!) so you can get on with the shoot!
I can sell it from either Swindon or Wirral area if anyone is interested in buying? I have placed it on Gumtree for £1 because I need to put a price in for the advert to register. Obviously, I'm not selling it for £1 - I'm accepting offers on the kit, so please feel free to contact me to arrange a viewing.
Whoever wins this will have a cracking piece of kit (worth £20k new) as it all works perfectly and is in pristine condition - I have all receipts for the items shown, thank you.
