- This is a Unique opportunity to acquire one of the most beautiful Hasselblad 503CW complete system, guaranteed in perfect cosmetic and working condition.
- Hasselblad produced a few hundred's Limited Edition 503CW's and 501CM with colored leatherette in 2001, 2002 and 2003 (Serial letters SV, SH and SP only). Not only are they the best cameras ever made, but they are pieces of art, now valuable collection objects.
- Less than a few hundreds of this RED complete systems are still in existence.
- Use this camera to produce the best pictures or display it in a window with your art pieces!
- Producing images of 200Mb, any 503CW will put to shame the very best of Leica, Nikon or Canon.
- Note that they are called "ISO3200" because of the markings, but the max ISO is in fact 4000.
- The 503CW body is in new like condition.
- The lens and magazine are superb, have only been used very lightly.
- The 503CW body and the A12 back (matching numbers) went through a CLA in January 2025
and operate at factory specifications. This is a $650.00 Value
- The body has been upgraded with the following items:
- A Carl Zeiss Planar f/2.8 80mm CF T* lens in new like condition, late model.
- A very rare RED A12 magazine, latest model with dark slide holder, matching the camera body.
- The 503CW is one of the very best camera ever made. It is the only "real" Hasselblad still in the Hasselblad catalog. More reliable, more compatible, lighter and taking all Carl Zeiss lenses, it is often the preferred ultimate machine for serious photographers.
- Brand new 503CW bodies sell today for $3,500 (no lens, no back), so don't miss this great deal!
- The included Carl Zeiss Planar f/2.8 80mm CF T* lens is an extraordinary general purpose lens, a true legend in the history of photography.
- From portraits to nature, this lens has produced among the best pictures published around the world.
- The lens has been protected since day one by a filter (not included) and is immaculate, incredibly sharp.
- All speeds, including slow speeds, have been electronically tested and are accurate.
- This is the ISO 3200 version of the 503CW.
Many 503CW are limited to 800 or 1600. This is Very important
for flash operations and a must if you intend to use a digital back: the light reflected and measured by the camera sensor when a digital back is mounted is 4 times higher than film, forcing to set the ISO on the 503CW 4 steps higher.
- This camera system IS NOT sold "as is": The camera, back and lens are covered by our return policy and 30 days warranty.
- The camera and lens have been tested with digital backs (PhaseOne and Hasselblad) and are guaranteed to work with digital backs.
- We do not carry C lenses: they are too old, optically inferior, their maintenance is almost impossible as the parts have disappeared, their Compur shutter is unreliable and speeds inaccurate.
- Contrary to what some unscrupulous sellers say, A24 backs do not work with 120 film (the only film available today).
