Hasselblad MK-70 (yellow)
The Hasselblad MK-70 (yellow) is a rare, specially-finished Hasselblad rarely encountered on the open market. With only a single recorded UK auction appearance, its position within the broader Hasselblad catalogue is best assessed by collectors familiar with limited-finish bodies.
Public price data for the MK-70 (yellow) is extremely thin: only one UK auction hammer result is on record — £5,000 in November 2016 — so any view of what one is worth today rests on that single saleroom outcome rather than a continuous market. Because the sample is a one-off and nearly a decade old, the figure should be treated as an indicative wholesale data point at hammer rather than a current value, and condition, completeness and provenance would likely move the next result substantially in either direction.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Hasselblad MK-70 (yellow) sell for?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price is £5,000, achieved in 2016; with no further sales on record, that figure is the sole reference point for what one has actually sold for.
What is a Hasselblad MK-70 (yellow) worth today in 2026?
There is not enough recent data to state a current value with confidence — the lone data point is the £5,000 2016 hammer, and a fresh auction appearance would be needed to refresh the price guidance.
Why is the MK-70 (yellow) so hard to price?
Only one verified UK auction sale exists in our records, so there is no median, range or trend to draw on; rarity itself is the dominant pricing factor.
