Hasselblad 500C
The first camera of the Hasselblad 500 series that replaced the earlier 1000F camera. Introduced in 1957, the 500C became one of the most famous medium format cameras of all time. Noted for its excellent design, reliability and versatility, these cameras have been around the world and beyond, having been used during the Apollo space missions.
The 500C is an all-mechanical medium format camera that is very modular and designed as part of a complete system. The camera can be thought of as being composed of four parts: the body, the lens, the finder and the film back with all being interchangeable and adaptable to different needs or jobs. For example, a Hasselblad user can fit their camera with a waist level finder or an eye level prism, they can use a 6x6cm back or a 6x4.5cm back or a 4x4cm "super slide" back.
The Hasselblad 500C cameras also make use of incredible lenses built by Carl Zeiss and give you some of the best optics available in the medium format world. Buying a Hasselblad 500C is very likely a matter of "buying your last camera first."
