The experience The Hasselblad 500C series of medium format film cameras was undoubtedly one of the best film cameras and certainly the most revolutionary cameras for Hasselblad and for the industry as a whole. It was the first of the Hasselblad 500 series and was modified many times throughout the years. This was a testament to the fact that Hasselblad had done a lot of things right with the 500C but it was not a perfect one.
As its successor the Hasselblad 500C/M was released in the year 1970. The camera features an easily interchangeable focusing screen and an optional prism viewfinder with a built-in light meter. Besides these modifications, the 500C/M still retains the modular design along with the leaf shutter design and the A12 film back that produces 12 6×6 negative on 120 roll film.
The Hasselblad 500 series is a modular camera system. The camera can be conveniently taken apart and broken down into the body, the lens, an A12 film back, waist level finder, ground glass focus screen, and even the film advance knob. This modular design makes the camera extremely customisable as far as accessories are concerned.
The Hasselblad 500C/M is a beautiful camera and a brilliant piece of engineering. It remains a classic in today’s modern age. For those who have been spoiled by modern-day cameras, the experience can be beautifully unique.
