Wardlowauc.com is the link, then look for photo studio liquidation part one and part two in current auctions. There are over 1,000 items in this auction including Manfrotto, Bogen, Calumet light stands as well as stands and lights by Mole-Richardson. All of these items show years of use in an industrial level commercial photography studio, but it is all quite serviceable, just looks well used. If there are functional defects, we endeavor to disclose all that are known. It incudes Hasselblad, Nikon, Calumet and Sinar film cameras, Smith-Victor, Corortran, B&M, Mole-Richardson hot lights, Speedotron strobes and powerpacks, a variety of light modifiers including super big soft boxes. There are so many light stands (the robust Bogen three-riser ones) that we are selling them in lots as big as four light stands to a lot!

If you are within driving distance of Louisville, KY I encourage you to attend our Open House at 3004 Rowan St., Louisville, KY, on Saturday April 23 from 1-4pm and inspect this treasure trove of photo equipment. Introduce yourself, I'll be the one wearing the Khaki hat.

For out of towners, the company will arrange shipping for a nominal fee (see terms and conditions).
I have attached a few photos to whet your appetite but I urge all of you to look at the auction site, the sheer volume is amazing. If you have any specific questions you can contact me privately here on UHH.

Is there an auction catalog? I might bid on something but I'm in CA and won't be flying to Louisville any time soon.

Is HASSELBLAD set up for digital and how much are you asking?

kmielen Loc: Eastern NC

Agreed. A fantastic amount and variety of equipment, props, etc. We are looking at someone's life work here. This must have been quite a studio.

This is an ongoing auction, the bidding sets the price. My understanding of the Hasselblad system is that they are modular and even older components will work with modern digital backs. You might notice that lot # 1,2 & 3 include a first generation digital backs by Leaf Systems. Thanks for looking.

just go to the link, everything is on line.

Just took a look. Lot of stuff - almost all of it looks thoroughly thrashed though

copladocus

Indeed, it all looks like it has been through a war BUT, all of it is quite serviceable. If pristine cosmetics are important to you then equipment auctions are NOT for you. If there are defects that affect performance, we make an effort to find and disclose those issues. For the rest of us, as long as it serves its purpose then how it looks is not important -- especially if we can get good equipment at a fraction of the cost when new.

Too bad they want a credit card number to even look at the items. This is a no go for me.

copladocus

You are completely wrong. You may look at all items, however, if you wish to bid then your must establish an account and a part of that is securing your bidding with a credit card. If you do not wish to bid, you can do like others have here, just click on full screen bidding and browse as long as you wish - no credit card number needed.

The layers of dirt and dust shows that on top of being worked hard it has also been left in a dustbowl - showing off a level of care (or rather not) that this stuff has been exposed to.

For a professional, these are just tools of the trade.
