Hasselblad Flexbody

The Hasselblad Flexbody is a medium format body introduced in 1995, designed to accept V-system lenses and film backs while adding view-camera style tilt and swing movements. It was aimed at product, still-life and architectural photographers who wanted Hasselblad optics and 6x6 film results with perspective and plane-of-focus control.

At UK auction in 2026, Flexbody bodies typically sell for somewhere between £900 and £2,400 at the hammer, with a median around £1,500 for recent results. These are saleroom wholesale figures rather than dealer retail prices, and condition, completeness of the bellows and the presence of the original ground glass back meaningfully affect what a Flexbody is worth; the highest recent hammer, £2,400 in mid-2024, was an outlier tied to an unusually clean example.
