Hasselblad Super Wide C (SWC)

The Hasselblad Super Wide C (SWC) is a medium-format 6x6 film camera built around a fixed Carl Zeiss Biogon wide-angle lens rather than the interchangeable-lens reflex system used by the 500-series bodies. It was positioned as a specialist wide-angle tool for architecture, landscape and interior photography, using the same Hasselblad V-system film magazines.

Sales history for the Super Wide C on cameraworth.com is thin, with only two UK auction hammer results on record — £540 in 2005 and £1,080 in 2006 — so today's price guidance is indicative rather than definitive. At saleroom level the body typically sells for a figure that is highly condition-sensitive, with clean, fully-working examples fetching the upper end of that range and worn or faulty bodies closer to the lower figure.
