This is my Old friend CX503 which I had been using for many years, I like to hear the neat mechanical Shuttler Sounded "Schi Cha", I felt pleasure to operate Hassel partly because of the shuttler sound.
I had been going out for Photoshooting with either this 503CX or 500C for many years, and probbaly ran off 200 rolls of 120 films.
I used to talk to my current beloved one before she was pregant, Whenever that I got a son, I will name him "Hassel"; if somehow it happened to be a daughter, we would name her as "Leica".
Well, I think I will take this Hassel for restoration. It looked shabby! Of course, as it had been used for thousand rolls of films by me!
