The Hasselblad 503CW is the most recent version of the square-format 500-series camera system that began with the 500C introduced almost 50 years ago. The 503CW camera body is probably future-proof - compatible with every C/CF/CFi that Carl Zeiss have ever made and with every 500 series film back that Hasselbald have made. The most recent digital backs - offering 16MP, 39MP or a stunning 50MP resolution - are also totally compatible, without modification to either the 500CW or the digital backs ... they do, quite literally, work straight out of the box. They also allow the photographer to continue with the ubiquitous square format whilst also allowing landscape format rectangular shots as well. Whether you shoot film or digital, square or rectangle, and if you want to leave the "35mm" Pro DSLR cameras standing, then this camera is a MUST ... quite simply the easiest to use, highest quality, pro camera available today. Hasselblad has been the trsuted workhorse of professional photographers (including myself) for decades and, with the 503CW, looks set to continue. If the 503CW is just out of your price range, have a look at the slightly earlier 500CX and CXi versions instead.Read full review
The combination of a very light body , mechanical excellence and the best lenses made by Carl Zeiss produces images no other camera can come close to. The very best of Leica, Nikon or Canon are left in the dust. In addition, you can now get an Hasselblad system for a third of a vastly inferior 35mm!

I have been looking for a Hasselblad for years. My search could only be described as lust. Purchasing used equipment on the internet is like handling poisonous snakes. Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Excellent+++++, and on and on. The camera I purchased from Mr. Joe was described as being "Pristine". I read his resume and gave him a shot. The camera arrived tonight and it is show room new, Mint+++++++. With all this high praise you may suspect that I am actually his Mother. No, I am just amazed. Pay a little extra for peace of mind.

Hi, fantastic product! It allows me to take professional pictures at a fraction of the normal price for a professional equipment. Thanks Hans
Hasselblad is known for reliability and beautiful design and the 503CW is no exception. It has smooth operation, easy attachment and removal of lenses, backs, finders and screens with no frills ergonomics. This would be a great body to build around, upgrade to or use as back up. If you've been shooting with other medium format cameras you may not want to go back after using a Hasselblad camera.
