Hasselblad 2003FCW

The Hasselblad 2003FCW is a 6x6 medium-format SLR from Hasselblad's V-system, introduced in 1988 as a focal-plane-shutter body sitting alongside the leaf-shutter 500-series. Its titanium-foil focal plane shutter lets photographers use F-series lenses (without built-in shutters) as well as the standard CF lens range, positioning it as the more flexible but mechanically more complex body in the line-up when new.

Hammer prices at recent UK auction have clustered between £1,700 and £1,750 for complete bodies in 2024–2025, with an older 2008 saleroom result of £850 illustrating how far the model's value has climbed. Today a clean 2003FCW typically sells for around £1,700 at auction-hammer level (wholesale, not retail), and that price is highly condition-sensitive — shutter integrity is the single biggest factor determining what a given example is worth.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Hasselblad 2003FCW worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer results place the 2003FCW at roughly £1,700–£1,750 for complete working bodies, so £1,700 is a fair guide to current value.

How much does a Hasselblad 2003FCW sell for at auction?

In 2024 and 2025 clean examples have sold for £1,700 and £1,750 at UK saleroom hammer, while a 2008 sale realised £850 — reflecting a clear rise in price over time.

What most affects the price of a 2003FCW?

Condition of the titanium focal-plane shutter is the dominant value driver; any curtain damage sharply reduces the price a body will achieve.

Is the 2003FCW the same as the 2000FCW?

No — the 2003FCW is the later focal-plane-shutter V-system body and is a different product from the earlier 2000FCW, with its own sales record and market value.
