Hasselblad 503CXi

The Hasselblad 503CXi is a medium format single-lens reflex camera for 6x6cm film on 120/220 roll film, using the Hasselblad V-system bayonet with interchangeable lenses, backs and finders. Introduced in 1988 as the successor to the 500C/M, it added TTL/OTF flash metering and a motor-drive coupling while retaining the fully mechanical leaf-shutter operation of the 500-series.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for 503CXi bodies have ranged from about £1,100 to £1,500, with a median near £1,300 across the sales on record. The most recent 2025 result reached £1,512, suggesting firm values today for clean examples, though the small sample size means condition, included finder/back and any accompanying lens heavily influence what a 503CXi sells for in the saleroom.
