Hasselblad 205TCC

The Hasselblad 205TCC is a medium format 6x6 SLR with a focal plane shutter, introduced in the early 1990s at the top of Hasselblad's 200-series V-system line. It was positioned as a professional body with built-in TTL metering, aimed at studio and location photographers who wanted in-camera exposure measurement alongside the interchangeable-back workflow of the V-system.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 205TCC have ranged from roughly £1,100 to £2,800, with a median around £1,600–£1,700 across the sales on record. The two most recent saleroom results — £1,700 in October 2024 and £2,125 in November 2025 — suggest that as of today a clean, working body sells for broadly £1,700–£2,100 at wholesale auction levels, with the upper end reserved for outfits that retain a matching finder, back and metering prism in full working order.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Hasselblad 205TCC worth today?

Based on UK auction hammer results, a 205TCC body is currently worth in the region of £1,700–£2,100, with the wider historical range running from about £1,100 to £2,800 depending on condition and the completeness of the outfit.

How much does a Hasselblad 205TCC sell for at auction?

Recent UK saleroom results show the 205TCC sells for £1,700 to £2,125 at hammer, with earlier sales in 2020 closer to £1,400–£1,600. Prices exclude buyer's premium.

Why is the 205TCC price so variable?

The value is heavily condition-sensitive because the body relies on 1990s electronics for metering and shutter control; examples with a fully functional meter, clean shutter and original back and finder sit at the top of the range, while incomplete or untested bodies sit nearer £1,100.

Is the 205TCC a good buy compared to a 500-series Hasselblad?

The 205TCC offers built-in TTL metering and a focal plane shutter that a 500C/M or 501CM does not, but it costs more and is harder to service, so its value proposition depends on whether the integrated meter and faster top shutter speed matter to the buyer.
