What it is
{"overview":"The Hasselblad 500ELX is a motor-driven 6x6 medium format SLR from Hasselblad's 500-series, introduced in the 1980s. As of 2026, clean working examples sell for more than rough or untested bodies, and the value of any accompanying lens or A-series back can push the total price well above what the body alone is worth.","buying_guide":"Because the 500ELX is battery-driven, inspect the battery compartment for corrosion and confirm that the motor winds and fires cleanly at all speeds. Check the mirror, focusing screen, film back seals and darkslide, and listen for the leaf shutter in any fitted lens — a sticky shutter is the most common reason a cheap body sells for so little.

Questions
Is the 500ELX the same as the 500EL/M?
No — the 500EL, 500EL/M and 500ELX are separate motorised variants in the 500EL line, and their prices and specifications differ, so check the exact model designation on the body before comparing values.
What affects the price of a 500ELX most?
Condition of the motor and electronics, the state of the leaf shutter in any fitted lens, and whether the camera comes with a usable A-series back have the biggest effect on what a 500ELX sells for.
