Hasselblad 203FE

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. Introduced in the mid-1990s, it sat at the upper end of Hasselblad's manual-focus line with TTL metering and a top focal-plane shutter speed well beyond what the leaf-shutter 500-series offered.

At recent UK auction, 203FE bodies and outfits have produced hammer prices ranging from roughly £1,400 to £3,800, with a median around £2,100 based on seven recorded sales. 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.
