This is a rare Hasseelblad 553ELX camera kit that includes three zeiss lenses (50mm, 80mm & 120mm), Prism finder, three medium format film backs (two 220 and one 120), Polaroid magazine, Pro Flash (4504 TTL system), AAA Battery Mod, all adapters needed to run the entire camera system and the camera case.
This was rarely used - it was a backup system to the main camera kit of an OG fim wedding photographer. I bought this to play with film 20 years ago! I held onto it for sentimental reasons.
The 553ELX is a motorized version of the 503CX with addition of: Acute Matte focusing screen Universal 1/4 inch tripod socket Battery compartment redesigned to fit 5 standard AA batteries, and battery level check feature. TTL/OTF dedicated flash metering system; SCA 300 and SCA 500. Working range of the sensor is ISO 16-1000. Larger release button #46345 is supplied as standard, but the smaller release button #46116 can be used. Use release cords FK30 and FK600 in front socket. Use release cord SK150 and connecting cord LK500 in side socket. FEATURES INCLUDE: Built-in motor advances the film (up to 1.2 fps) and recocks the shutter after each exposure. Operating Selector dial allows user to choose various pre-release options for mirror movement and shutter operation. No shutter built in; uses C- and CF- lenses with built-in leaf shutters providing flash synchronization at all speeds.

All lenses near mint condition…very clean and rarely used. The lenes have been kept in the camera bag, no dents.
CF lenses have rubber-covered focus rings.
These also work with HASSELBLAD's newer electronic focal-plane shutter cameras (but not the ancient 1000F and 1600F), thus the name "CF."
The CF lenses almost always work perfectly when you get them without needing service.
Newer lenses (CB and CFi) got cheaper and used more plastic; they added fluff like automation for use with the newer bodies: best quality and lowest prices.
