Hasselblad H1

The Hasselblad H1 is a medium format autofocus SLR introduced in 2002, developed in partnership with Fujifilm and using the H-system lens mount. It was positioned as Hasselblad's first autofocus body, designed for professional studio and location work with interchangeable film backs and, later, digital backs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for Hasselblad H1 bodies have spanned roughly £280–£1,500, with a median around £570 across the four results recorded. Condition and the inclusion of a working film back or viewfinder drive most of the spread, and as of 2026 the H1 still sells for considerably less than later H-series bodies despite sharing the same lens mount.
