Hasselblad 1000F 'Provkamera'
The Hasselblad 1000F 'Provkamera' is a medium format single lens reflex camera linked to the early Hasselblad V-system lineage that began in the late 1940s. The 'Provkamera' (Swedish for 'test camera') designation refers to a pre-production or prototype example, making it a collector-oriented item rather than a working tool.
Auction evidence for this designation is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result on file is a 2005 hammer of £960. With just one data point at auction-hammer level, today's value, price and what the camera sells for in 2026 cannot be reliably established from sales history alone, and any current worth would depend heavily on provenance and bidder competition on the day.
