If you have owned and used a Hasselblad camera for any length of time then this service is invaluable to you. If your film magazine is not spacing properly, frames overlap, does not stop at the proper frame, leaks light or has any of the the other numerous problems that plague all Hasselblad A series backs then this service will set your A12, A24, or A16 back in perfect working order.

With over 30 years experience servicing all things Hasselblad I have learned how to service your film magazine properly---the secret DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS. I completely disassemble the back , remove all the old lubricants, replace the necessary parts, relubricate using only Nye synthetic oils and greases (simply the finest available) and making all the necessary adjustments to assure the level of service you expect.

As you can see from the picture above, a Hasselblad film magazine is far more complicated than you would think and a high level of expertise and experience is required to service it properly.
