Item Description
The Hasselblad 501C is a highly regarded, fully mechanical 6×6 medium format SLR film camera known for its superb image quality, modular design, and durable build. It is a popular choice among film photography enthusiasts and professionals for portrait and landscape photography due to its robust construction and compatibility with high-quality Carl Zeiss lenses.
Key Features
- Fully Mechanical Operation: The camera requires no batteries for basic operation, though optional metered prism viewfinders may need them.
- Shutter System: It utilises leaf shutter lenses (Carl Zeiss C, CF, CB, and CFE), which allow for flash synchronisation at all shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/500th of a second.
- Manual Handling: A single full rotation of the built-in rapid-wind crank simultaneously advances the film, resets the mirror, and cocks the shutter.
- Lenses: Compatible with almost all Carl Zeiss lenses made for the V-system since 1957 (excluding FE lenses).
- Film Backs: Accepts interchangeable magazines for 120 and 220 film (6×6 or 6×4.5 formats), 70mm long rolls, and even modern digital backs.
- Viewfinders: Supports standard waist-level finders (WLF), 45-degree or 90-degree prisms, and “chimney” magnifiers.
