I am prospecting the possibilities for another back on my Hartbleicam, one that can have a battery attached. Therfore i want to trade in my Hasselblad (Imacon) 384 for a back that has 39Mp or more. Are there people that have done this recently and do want to share it with me ;-)) At this moment all backs are possible, Phase, hasselblad CF or Leaf aptus with Hasselblad H mount. Please let me know what is possible. (even interested in a good priced Aptus22 in H mount)
There's currently so many different promotional options with the 3 brands we sell and support (Phase One, Leaf, Mamiya) that I don't know that trading your 384 will necessarily be the best way forward. It depends....on a lot of different criteria and some input from you will go a long way towards clarifying the best deal for you.
But as far as trade-ins for Phase One, the current trade-in values for your 16MP Imacon 384 towards 39MP or higher are:
*P40+ - $4,000
*P45+ - $5,000
*P65+ - $7,000
Now - these are only the trade-in values that Phase One
officially offers...what
Capture Integration would do for instance on a bottom line price will depend on many factors. Because of our volume in medium format digital backs, we are extremely active with regard to making deals, so sometimes we have some great deals, and we can almost always find a way to make something happen for you.
There are many, many variables. Trading in a 384 towards a P65+ and getting $7,000 credit might seem like a possible route for someone interested in a P65+ and who had the budget. But it depends. Example - right now anyone buying a P65+ receives a free Phase One DF body, Schneider 80mm/2.8 LS Lens, and choice of any other 2 Phase One lenses. But this cannot be combined with other offers. So, if someone also was keen on the Phase One DF camera platform, it wouldn't make sense to trade the 384 since the value of the free P1 DF camera/lenses could potentially reach nearly $16,000. So, in that scenario, it would make more sense to find a buyer for the 384 (and you might net $3K - $4) and take the deal with the free camera/lenses.
So, every situation can be quite different and can require some careful consideration of your options, which aren't always obvious.
