Hasselblad Super Wide Angle

The Hasselblad Super Wide Angle is a 6x6 medium-format camera built around a fixed Carl Zeiss Biogon 38mm f/4.5 lens, with composition handled through an external optical viewfinder rather than a reflex mirror. Introduced in the mid-1950s and positioned above the reflex V-series bodies for architectural and landscape work, it launched a long line of Hasselblad wide-angle bodies that continued in production for decades.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Super Wide Angle have ranged from around £850 to £2,600, with a median near £2,000 across the available sales record. The two most recent UK saleroom results, in late 2024 and mid 2025, cleared £2,000 and £2,600 respectively, suggesting that in 2026 a clean, complete example with matching film back and finder sells for toward the upper end, while worn or incomplete bodies are worth noticeably less.
