Hasselblad 300mm f/2.8 Superachromat
The Hasselblad 300mm f/2.8 Superachromat is a fast medium-format telephoto for the V-system, sitting at the top of Hasselblad's Superachromat line of apochromatically corrected optics. With its long focal length and bright f/2.8 aperture, it was aimed at professional sports, wildlife and scientific work where precise colour rendering and sharpness across the visible spectrum mattered.
This is one of the rarer and more expensive Hasselblad telephotos, and saleroom data is thin: a single tracked UK auction result hammered at £20,000 in 2023, which is the only verified hammer figure we have on file. As of 2026 that result still anchors what a clean copy is worth at saleroom level — buyers should treat it as a wholesale benchmark rather than a retail price, since UK auction hammer figures exclude both buyer's and seller's commission, and dealer asking prices typically sit well above this. With only one record, headline price, range and median are effectively the same number, so the value a 300mm Superachromat sells for in any given sale can move sharply with condition and completeness.
