Dave, how much use has the lens seen? The Hassey lens shutters ride on a teflon coated metal donut. Eventually, the teflon wears off, and the shutter crashes. A friend of mine wore an 80mm lens shutter out in just over a year of hard use. Personally, I don't think you can get a better camera than the 500 series Hasselblad.
