What it is
{"overview":"The Hasselblad 1000F is a 6x6 medium format single-lens reflex film camera introduced in 1952 as the successor to the 1600F. Today the market is highly condition-sensitive because the focal-plane shutter is the camera's main weakness, so what a 1000F is worth depends heavily on whether the shutter runs cleanly at all speeds.","buying_guide":"The cloth focal-plane shutter is the primary concern: check for pinholes, capping at 1\/500 and 1\/1000, and even curtain travel, as repair specialists for this mechanism are scarce. Inspect the film back for light seals and frame spacing, confirm the lens mount bayonet is not worn, and verify the waist-level finder screen and mirror are clean.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Why is the 1000F value so variable?
The focal-plane shutter is prone to pinholes and speed errors, and qualified repair is limited, so a serviced body can sell for two to three times the price of a mechanically suspect one.
Are 1000F lenses compatible with later Hasselblad cameras?
No — the 1000F uses its own screw mount, so Ektar and pre-500C Zeiss lenses for this body do not fit the later V-system 500C, 500C/M or 501 bodies.
