Hasselblad Aerial Camera HK7

The Hasselblad HK7 is a medium-format aerial camera produced by Hasselblad for Swedish military use. It is a specialist hand-held reconnaissance tool rather than a consumer product, which is why it rarely appears on the general second-hand market and is usually encountered as a collector's or museum-grade item.

Hammer prices at UK auction have ranged from £1,100 to £2,600 across the records on file, with a median around £2,400; in today's market the HK7 continues to sell for low-to-mid four figures when complete examples surface. Condition, completeness of the original military fittings and whether the camera retains its film magazine all drive value, and because the HK7 is a thin-traded specialist item a single well-presented example can push the top of the range at saleroom level.
