Hassy 501C-CFE: $1,200/US; $1,225/Canada; $1,250/Int'l

Prices include Priority shipping and paypal fees.

Very clean 501C body with 80/2.8 CFE lens, A12 back, waist level finder and Acute-Matte screen, seeing very little use. Black body, black back and black WLF make this a sexy, sexy beast.

501C is a later body with newer, fatter shutter release; this is a Japan-market body, designated by the *. Often called "Japan Star" product, the story often told is they were special order for a Japanese dealer and had tighter quality control. I think the truth is more likely they were ordered by the Japanese importer, Shriro, with the * designation to help them fight rampant gray market product. Shriro might have told dealers their product had better QC, maybe that's fact, I just think it's a little bit cooler.

The CFE lens has electronic data contacts for use with autoexposure and digital Hassy rigs.

Functionally and cosmetically in great shape, everything works fine and smoothly, body/lens don't appear to have had much use. Very little paint missing from back mounting, few tripod marks, lensmount is clean, etc.
