See more about 'Phase One P45 Digital Back P-45 PhaseOne H101 H-101 H2' Description Go see my other photo listings: here What You Are Buying: Phase One 39 megapixel H101 P45 Digital Camera Back with the Hasselblad H1 & H2 mount ( with warranty ) You're looking at the highest standard in digital photography.  This p45 was used on a Hasselblad H2 Camera Kit as well as a Cambo WDS system.  The owner ( He's the 2nd owner ) bought this back through me from the first owner who bought it brand new.  The current owner has taken on a full time teaching job at his local university and will no longer need the back and has asked me to sell it on his behalf.  He is also selling the H2 kit, a Hasselblad 50mm HC lens, and the Cambo WDS Architectural in my other eBay listings. This P45 is in beautiful condition with hardly any sign of cosmetic wear as you will see in the photos below.  The sensor is perfect with no problems.  The count shows an extremely low 3588 so for all intents this thing is still brand new.  It comes with the remainder of the full manufacturers warranty which is good until March of 2009.  The back is also for sale locally and if the reserve is not met we reserve the right to pull it.  It may have a few more actuations on it if someone locally wants to test it but it will not be many.  If the reserve is met or the buy it now is used here it will sell on eBay.  If the listing is still going then you can know it's still available. Included in this sale is the H101 39 megapixel digital back, the case and keys, three batteries, the charger, and the Phase One notebook with some paperwork.  The software can be downloaded from the PhaseOne website for trial and then purchased.  If you are already a PhaseOne user you most likely have a version of software that you can simply upgrade.  Of course you can also buy adapters to use this digital back with other camera kits.  You can view the P45 specifications here.  Some more good information about this wonderful digital back can be found here. I've contacted some dealers who have told me that you can use this digital back for a trade in on a new P45+ or a new P65.  This is where you can really win if you intend to buy the P45+ or the P65.  If you buy this digital back at the buy it now price then you are allowed to trade it in and pay $8000 towards the purchase of a brand new P45+ ( plus ).  This means you would pay $25,995 for a brand new P45+!  They currently sell new for $32,990 which includes a 3 year warranty.  That gives you an immediate savings of $7000 for a brand new P45+ if you use the buy it now.  That's crazy good savings.  There would be absolutely NO reason to just buy a P45 new for $32,990 when you could use this one to save yourself $7000.00!  If you're looking to buy the P45 plus then simply buying this back can give you some significant savings. If you want to buy this digital back and apply it to the P65 version then you would trade in this back plus $22,490 to buy the P65 version which gives you an immediate savings of approximately $2510 because the P65 sells brand new for $42,990 and has a 3 year warranty.  You can clarify what I'm telling you is accurate by calling any Phase One dealer.  When it was purchased new the original owner shared with me that he paid around $40,000 USD for this P45 back so either way you go...at this price you win.  Payment arrangements will be made to satisfy both parties but Paypal cannot be used on this transaction because it exceeds their limits.  If using a third party escrow company makes you feel more comfortable then eBay has always endorsed www.escrow.com. Email me with any questions.  Shipping Costs: All USA buyers will pay $65 for Priority shipment with the USPS via registered mail insured for the full amount.  Registered mail is the only way you can ship this with the post office and get full insurance.  It is a very secure method of shipment.  It stays under lock and key the entire trip and every employee that touches the package along the way has to sign a log sheet.  If you do not care to use the U.S. post office you can look at the shipping calculator at the bottom of the page and it will tell you the costs for using UPS.  If you prefer to use Fed Ex or DHL just email me for a shipping quote.  They are much more expensive but you may use whatever service you prefer.  Again, registered shipping fully insured with the U.S. Post office costs only $65.00. Note ** I love and welcome International buyers but you must contact me first to get an exact shipping quote to your country.  The shipping quotes shown at the bottom of this listing are for U.S. buyers only and not International buyers.  International Buyers Read This Part Carefully: Click here if you only want to see feedback comments from people who bought from me in other countries:  International buyers read here I will gladly ship to other countries so long as you do not ask me to write "gift" on the customs forms or to declare the item for a lower value than the purchase price.  Buyers continue to ask me this even after reading this disclaimer.  I hate to lose your business and I don't like the taxes either, but I desire to be honest and hopefully I will not lose too much business because of it.  You may or may not have to pay duty taxes depending on the requirements of your country.  I will ship to your friend or relative in the United States if you have one.  Hong Kong buyers do not pay any taxes so everybody move to Hong Kong!!  If you would like to verify your tax rate then click HERE.  However, I am not responsible for any information on the website.  Please verify anything with your customs office.    These photos show you the actual Digital Back you will receive: On Aug-28-08 at 11:25:17 PDT, seller added the following information:I have been asked about the mount and whether it can be changed to use with other camera systems as well as the exact date of the warranty expiration.  This back has full manufacturers warranty until March 22, 2009. The answer is to the mount question is, yes, it can be changed and it is completely FREE.  The warranty includes one free mount change and this option has never been used.  So until the warranty runs out on March 22, 2009 you can take advantage of the one free mount change option.  You can have the mount changed to work with one of the following camera systems:  Mamiya 645 AFD, the Hasselblad V system, or the Contax 645 system.  It is currently in the H mount because as I stated previously it was being used with an H2 kit.  It will also work with other 4x5 systems such as the Cambo, Horseman, or Alpha ( and others I'm sure ) but those systems sell adapters that you buy to make the P45 work with those cameras.  If you have more questions just email me.
