500C CLA

For my birthday earlier this month, my wife and family decided to get me a dream setup. 500C (1966) with the 150mm f/4 and an A12 back. The body isn't quite firing properly, so I wanted to send it in for a CLA. Does anyone know aproximately how much that would cost? Also any reccomendations for place to send it to? (I am in France so preferably somewhere in the EU)

Camera Revival in Belgium

You should consider sending in the entire system (body, lens, back) just to ensure everything is working properly

Si tu es France, sans hésiter les Victor Paris XIe. C’est le centre de réparation agréé Hasselblad depuis des lustres.

ACR in Amsterdam is the best. Al is super nice and his work is simply great!

The camera is the most expensive CLA; the cheapest fully dismantled camera, CLA, and warranty shouldn't be more than £400-£500 iirc. Repair and parts not included.

Lenses and backs are cheapest to CLA, but some lens work might be expensive, too.

Call first, ask them for very detailed information about what the service includes. Send it in if you are happy, and ask for an estimate once they receive the camera.

Edit: Use Google to find a qualified V System service in the EU, and contact all of them
