Hasselblad 903SWC

{"overview":"The Hasselblad 903SWC is a medium-format wide-angle camera introduced in 1988, using 120 film with Hasselblad V-system film backs to produce 6x6cm negatives. It is a non-reflex body built around a fixed Carl Zeiss Biogon 38mm f\/4.5 T* lens, composed via an external optical viewfinder rather than through the lens. These are wholesale hammer figures — what a 903SWC is worth at auction, rather than a dealer retail price — and clean, fully-working examples with a matching A12 back tend to sell for more than bodies offered on their own.","buying_guide":"The Biogon is a fixed lens, so any haze, separation or damage to the front or rear elements directly affects the camera's value — inspect it carefully and test the Compur leaf shutter at all speeds, particularly the slow ones, as these sometimes stick with age. Check the spirit level and external viewfinder for clarity, confirm the film back winds and seats correctly, and look for dents on the lens hood and filter ring.
