Hasselblad 905SWC
The Hasselblad 905SWC is a medium format film camera from the Super Wide series, taking 6x6cm images on 120 roll film via a fixed wide-angle Zeiss Biogon lens. It was the final iteration of the SWC line, positioned at the top of Hasselblad's wide-angle offering for professional landscape and architectural work.
As the scarcest of the SWC variants, the 905SWC commands strong money in the UK auction market, where a 2025 hammer result reached £3,500 — note that all prices quoted are saleroom hammer figures rather than retail. With only one recent verified sale on file, today's value sits around the £3,500 mark, though condition, completeness of finder and back, and Biogon glass quality will swing what any individual example sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Hasselblad 905SWC worth today?
Based on UK auction data, a 905SWC is worth around £3,500 at hammer, with condition and completeness of the finder and back driving the price.
How much does a Hasselblad 905SWC sell for at auction?
The most recent verified UK auction result was £3,500 in April 2025, reflecting the model's scarcity as the final SWC variant.
Why does the 905SWC price sit above earlier SWC models?
It was the last and shortest-produced SWC, so supply at auction is limited and the value premium over older 903SWC and SWC/M bodies reflects that scarcity.
