What it is
{"overview":"The Hasselblad 503CX is a medium format 6x6 single lens reflex camera from the Swedish V-system line, introduced in the late 1980s as the successor to the 500C\/M. Condition of the leatherette, shutter accuracy and clean Acute Matte screens also drive what an example is worth.","buying_guide":"Common points to inspect are the leaf-shutter speeds in the attached lens (slow speeds sticking is typical on neglected examples), the condition of the palpas light-baffling inside the body and magazine, the Acute Matte focusing screen for scratches, and the film back's darkslide, frame counter and light seals. Check that the body and magazine serial-letter codes match if originality matters, and confirm the winding crank engages cleanly without the shutter and mirror becoming jammed mid-cycle.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
What affects the price of a 503CX?
The main factors are whether a Zeiss lens and film back are included, shutter accuracy, cosmetic condition of the leatherette and screen, and the completeness of accessories such as the waist-level finder and focusing hood.
Is the Hasselblad 503CX a good value medium format camera?
At current auction prices the 503CX sits between the older 500C/M and the later 503CW, and represents one of the more affordable routes into the V-system while still offering TTL flash metering and the brighter Acute Matte screen.
