Hasselblad 1000F 'HK-1' outfit
The Hasselblad 1000F is a medium-format single lens reflex camera using 120 roll film, introduced in the early 1950s as the focal-plane-shutter successor to the 1600F. The 'HK-1' outfit refers to a specific Swedish military/scientific configuration supplied to the Royal Swedish Air Force, which makes this a collector-oriented variant rather than a general-user camera.
Auction data for the 1000F 'HK-1' outfit is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2005 hammered at £3,500, and no further public auction sales have been logged since. With only one hammer price on file, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a true market median, and condition, completeness of the outfit, and provenance documentation will drive what a comparable example sells for now.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Hasselblad 1000F 'HK-1' outfit worth today?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price is £3,500, so its value is best estimated in that region, though a single data point means actual results can vary significantly with condition and completeness.
How much does a Hasselblad 1000F 'HK-1' outfit sell for at auction?
Public sales history shows one hammer result at £3,500; with so few comparables, the price a given outfit fetches will depend heavily on whether all original components are present.
Why is the 'HK-1' outfit more collectible than a standard 1000F?
The 'HK-1' designation refers to a specific issued configuration rather than a standard retail kit, which narrows the supply and tends to attract collectors of military and institutional Hasselblads.
