Actually they're not really that expensive at all! I got mine, which is in excellent condition, straight off ebay for a little over AU$1.000 - not much at all compared to most Digital SLR's : )
Great shot. I love Hassies. I've been checking out d-SLRs for myself on ebay and you get one for around $500 American ($647 AU) up to $650 American ($840 AU). Congrats for getting a Hassie so cheap! Did that include a lens and the polaroid back? I know someone from school who got a Hassie plus lenses, polaroid back, an extra film back, and a nice case for about $400 American off Craig's List. Guy didn't know what he had!
Anyway...great shot, love the warmth and selective focus.

Geez...lucky guy! With several lenses that kit could easily have been worth nearly ten times that price! I got both my camera (w/ standard lens and back) and the polaroid back seperately on ebay, paid AU$1000 for the camera and AU$100 for the polaroid back. Not bad at all, considering the cheapest pola.backs I've come across in secondhand shops here in Perth are going for around AU$400.
Oh, and thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like it : )
Actually, it was one of my female classmates...and to be honest, I don't even think she truely appreciated what she had. She realized she'd gotten a good deal, but she didn't really know how good, I don't think.
That's so great you got such a deal as well. I would love to own a hassie, but my first purchase as a pro is going to be a d-slr...as soon as the job starts and the paycheck comes.
You better be taking some amazing shots with that hassie! I'll be watching you...hahaha

Hello there! This news article is the result of a thumb share thread I posted few days ago on the dA forum along with pictures from my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.
