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.
