Hasselblad 203FE

{"overview":"The Hasselblad 203FE is a 6x6 medium format SLR in the V System, using both focal-plane shutter FE lenses and leaf-shutter C\/CF-series optics on the same body. The spread is wide because results depend heavily on whether the lot includes an FE lens, a prism finder and a film back — stripped bodies sell for less, while complete kits with a 110mm f\/2 FE Planar push toward the top of the range. As of 2026, values remain condition-sensitive, and these figures reflect wholesale hammer results in the saleroom rather than dealer retail.","buying_guide":"Inspect the focal-plane shutter curtains for pinholes or creases, check the electronics by firing at all speeds including the top end, and confirm the TTL meter responds correctly through the viewfinder. Battery compartments and film-back light seals are common service items, and because the 203FE relies on electronics unique to the F-series, factor in that qualified service is now limited to a handful of specialists.
