It has interchangeable lenses, generally a 135 mm Zeiss Biotessar, with the second being either a 240 mm f/4 Meyer Tele-Megor or a 250 mm f/5 Schneider Tele-Xenar. The SKa4 has interchangeable film magazines, a key feature of later Hasselblad cameras. ==== 1600F and 1000F ==== [[File:Hasselblad 1600F.jpg|thumb|right|Hasselblad 1600F with [[Kodak]] [[Ektar]] 2.8/80 mm lens]] [[File:Hasselblad 500 c camera.jpg|thumb|Hasselblad 500C camera with Carl Zeiss 2.8/80mm lens]] Hasselblad's first civilian camera was launched in 1948. Born from the idea of Victor Hasselblad to create the "ideal camera", it was a 6 Γ 6 cm format focal-plane shutter SLR camera that was six inches long.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite book|last1=Gustavson|first1=Todd|title=Camera A history of photography from Daguerreotype to Digital|date=2009|publisher=Sterling Signature|isbn=978-1-4027-5656-6}}</ref> First simply known as the "Hasselblad Camera" it was later named "1600F" after its highest shutter speed of 1/1600 s and "F" for "focal plane".<ref name=autogenerated1 /> The camera was revolutionary for the time with its modular design that allowed exchanging lenses, viewfinders and film magazines. The shutter was made of thin stainless steel which was light and durable enough to withstand the high acceleration forces of this fast shutter.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> The 1600F cameras did show a couple of problems (especially the first series) so a number of changes were introduced during the production period that lasted from 1949 to 1953. The 1600F was initially released with the [[Kodak]] [[Ektar]] 2.8/80 mm and the Ektar 3.5/135 mm lenses. Only prototypes were made of the Ektar 6.3/55 mm and the 5.6/254 mm lenses. The successor of the 1600F was the 1000F (1953β1957). The 1000F was named after its reduced shortest shutter speed of 1/1000 s. The 1000F has a different shutter mechanism and proved to be more reliable and robust than its predecessor. During production of the 1600F, Carl Zeiss in [[Oberkochen]] had become a supplier of lenses for the 1600F/1000F cameras. Zeiss supplied the lenses [[Distagon]] 5.6/60 mm, [[Tessar]] 2.8/80 mm, [[Sonnar]] 3.5/135, Sonnar 4.0/250 and Sonnar 5.6/250 mm. Towards the end of the 1000 F production period a [[Thomas Rudolphus Dallmeyer|Dallmeyer]] 5.6/508 mm lens made by [[Cook and Perkins]], England, was also available, but did not fully cover the full film format. Hasselblad 1000F and especially 1600F cameras are very rare on the secondhand market and usually not in working condition because of age, neglect, and a lack of spare parts and qualified repairmen. Many cameras suffer from corrosion of the chrome rims. A lot of lenses suffer from scratches, fungus, discoloration and separation. Cameras in good condition can therefore fetch fairly high prices.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://collectiblend.com/Cameras/Hasselblad/|title=Hasselblad Price Guide|publisher=CollectiBlend}}</ref> The 500C was produced to replace the F-series cameras. It changed the troublesome focal plane shutter for a leaf shutter in each C lens. The camera has continued for over 40 years with only minor improvements. A variation of the 500C was used by [[NASA]] for all their [[Project Gemini|Gemini]] and [[Apollo program|Apollo]] missions. Most lenses were made by [[Carl Zeiss AG|Zeiss]] in [[Germany]] but the very early 1600F lenses were made by [[Kodak]]. * 1600F (1948/1949β1953, 1/1600 s shutter speed) * 1000F (1953β1957, 1/1000 s shutter speed) ====V System==== [[File:Hasselblad 503CW V96C.jpg|thumb|right|Hasselblad 503 CW with [[Carl Zeiss AG|Zeiss]] Distagon 3,5/30 and Ixpress V96C]] [[File:Hasselblad 500 CM.jpg|thumb|right|Hasselblad 500 C/M with [[Carl Zeiss AG|Zeiss]] lens]] The name "V System" was not created until the development of the "H System"; with a new system premiering, Hasselblad needed a designation to differentiate the older product line. The Hasselblad V-System evolved out of Victor Hasselblad's desire to develop a small camera with fast lenses and shutters, that was as easily hand-holdable as a [[Leica Camera|Leica]], but with a larger film format. The [[Rolleiflex]]'s {{Nowrap|6 Γ 6}} format was deemed ideal: large enough to provide high image quality, but small enough to fit inside a compact camera. The Rolleiflex's leaf shutter lacked the fast shutter speeds focal plane shutters could provide, and neither Leica rangefinder nor Rolleiflex TLR provided the(TTL) through the (taking) lens viewing that the slow to use, big Graflex SLR provided. These considerations led to the 1600 F and a flexible camera system that includes interchangeable bodies, lenses, viewfinders, winders, film magazines and holders, and other accessories. Problems with the focal plane shutters in the 1600 F and 1000 F cameras and especially the increasing importance of electronic flash led to the development of the manual leaf shutter-based medium-format {{Nowrap|6 Γ 6}} ({{Nowrap|6 Γ 6}} cm or {{Nowrap|2ΒΌ Γ 2ΒΌ}} inches) 500 C SLR camera in 1957 which offered flash synchronization at all shutter speeds. The 500 C was joined by the motor-driven 500 EL SLR camera in 1964. Apart from the housing that incorporates the motor drive and the NiCd batteries, this camera is similar in appearance and operation to the Hasselblad 500 C and uses the same magazines, lenses and viewfinders. These two cameras, together with the Superwide Camera (SWC) which was introduced in 1954 as a wide angle camera using the Carl Zeiss Biogon 38 mm f/4.5 lens and built-in levels for exacting architecture photography, formed the core of the V-system and shared most accessories (with a few exceptions). [[File:Hasselblad500Cm.jpg|alt=Hasselblad 500 C/M with Grip and Zeiss 40mm Distagon|thumb|Hasselblad 500 C/M with Grip and Zeiss 40mm Distagon]] Throughout the life of the V Series, Hasselblad incrementally updated the cameras. The 500C gave way to the 500C/M, the 503CX and 503CXi, the 501C and 501CM, and finally the 503CW as the basic manual. The SWC was replaced by the SWC/M, the 903 SWC, and finally by the 905 SWC. The 500 EL's replacements included the 500EL/M, 500ELX, 553 ELX, and the 555ELD. First introduced in the 500ELX, TTL/OTF (through the lens/off the film) flash metering was also a feature of the 503CX, which was replaced by the 503CXi and finally the 503CW. The 503CWD was the very last iteration of the V-series line and was a limited edition variant produced in 2006 to commemorate the centenary of the birth of [[Victor Hasselblad]] (born 1906). The 503CWD was supplied with a match-numbered CFV-16 digital back. The entire production run was limited to only 500 units, all numbered. However, the universal models can choose phase one or leaf if they prefer to have a digital medium format back. Some people also modified fuji instax film camera to be the back holding instax films. The V system of cameras are modular with interchangeable lenses and backs. The interchangeable film backs were originally designed to accommodate medium format film (220 & 120) and supported various aspect ratios, e.g. 6X6, 6X4.5, etc. and were also available as Polaroid film backs and for 70mm film. The viewfinders were also designed to be fully modular with interchange able focusing screens, waist-level finders, sports finders as well as eye-level prism finders that were offered in 90 and 45 degrees for ease of use. Alongside the 500-series cameras, a series of focal plane shutter cameras was introduced. This 2000-series started with the 2000 FC, and progressed to the 2000 FC/M, 2000 FCW and 2003 FCW. Though much of the 20 years between the discontinuation of the 1000F and the introduction of the 2000 FC was spent designing an improved focal plane shutter, the 2000-series again used corrugated metal foil as material for the shutter curtains, though now titanium replaced the original stainless steel. As before, the metal shutter curtains proved to be quite easily damaged by clumsy fingers, which is why all 2000-series cameras except the 2000FC have a safety feature that retracts the shutter curtains as soon as the magazine is taken off. The 2000-series cameras were replaced by the 200-series cameras (with rubberized cloth shutter curtains), which included the 201 F, 202 FA, 203 FE, and 205 TCC/205 FCC. While the 201 F was a manual control camera, the other three 200-series models added a level of metering and exposure automation to the V series. There were also two series of medium format view cameras developed related to the V series: the FlexBody and the ArcBody. The last V System camera, the 503CW, was officially discontinued on April 29, 2013.<ref name='503cw-discontinued'>{{cite web |url=http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/2264875/hasselblad-puts-an-end-to-its-v-line-of-cameras |title=Hasselblad puts an end to its V line of cameras |access-date=2013-05-05 |publisher=British Journal of Photography |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130503221205/http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/2264875/hasselblad-puts-an-end-to-its-v-line-of-cameras |archive-date=2013-05-03 }}</ref> In 2014, Hasselblad introduced the CFV-50c back, which uses a digital image sensor and is compatible with V system cameras; the sensor is the same one supplied with the H5D-50c digital SLR and has an active area of {{cvt|43.2|*|32.9|mm}}, so using the CFV-50c back with V system lenses will result in a [[crop factor]] for equivalent focal length.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.dpreview.com/articles/4662324337/hasselblad-launches-50mp-cfv-50c-back-for-legacy-v-system |title=Hasselblad launches 50MP CFV-50c back for legacy V system |first=Damien |last=Demolder |date=July 25, 2014 |work=Digital Photography Review |access-date=20 September 2024}}</ref> The CFV back subsequently has been updated with different sensors in 2019 (CFV II 50C)<ref name=cfvDPR-2019-09/> and 2024 (CFV 100C),<ref name=cfvDPR-2024-01/> retaining the same sensor size.

A heavily modified version was used in the U.S. Apollo lunar exploration program. In 1968, it was used by astronaut [[William Anders]] to take the image known as ''[[Earthrise]]''. As an outgrowth of the experience with NASA cameras, a photogrammetric version of the Hasselblad 500 EL/M, the Hasselblad MK 70, was constructed with specially calibrated components.<ref>Nordin 1997.</ref> ====XPan==== The dual-format XPan and XPan II were Hasselblad's first cameras to use 35mm film. Built with a rubber-covered titanium and aluminium body, they were designed as a coupled rangefinder camera with interchangeable, compact lenses. The XPan cameras are [[badge engineering|re-branded]] versions of the [[Fujifilm|Fuji]] TX-1 and TX-2. The XPan II has every feature of the original, but grants the user the ability to record thirty-minute exposures compared to the old limit of three minutes. Electronic exposure information in the viewfinder is another additional feature of the XPan II. The XPan reverted to the focal plane shutter, offering 8β1/1000 s, and flash sync from B (max. 270 s) β 1/125 s. The intent in releasing the XPan was to provide medium format image quality on 35mm film. The XPan utilised the entire area of the 35mm film for either panorama or 35mm format, providing a [[panoramic photography|panorama]] effect without [[Masking (art)|masking]] the film or reducing image quality. This technique produced a panorama negative almost three times larger than traditional masking and over five times larger than that of [[Advanced Photo System|APS]] cameras.<ref name='XPan 1998'>{{cite web |url=http://www.hasselblad.com/media/3c8f1f64-b0af-4a98-b35e-0db6a220cfdb-XPan_English.pdf |title=For a World Less Square β XPan Product Brochure |access-date=2007-10-09 |publisher=Victor Hasselblad AB |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071127091123/http://www.hasselblad.com/media/3c8f1f64-b0af-4a98-b35e-0db6a220cfdb-XPan_English.pdf |archive-date=2007-11-27 }}</ref> The XPan is now discontinued. * XPan (1998, focal plane shutter, 35mm, Panoramic capability) * XPan II (2003, focal plane shutter, 35mm, Panoramic capability) ====H System==== Hasselblad launched the H System at [[photokina 2002|photokina]] in September 2002. =====H1===== The H1 departed from previous Hasselblad cameras in several respects. Hasselblad moved away from the traditional {{Nowrap|6 Γ 6}} format to {{Nowrap|6 Γ 4.5}} cm, and included autofocus lenses. The camera used Fujinon manufactured lenses and prisms, thus departing from Hasselblad's long association with Carl Zeiss when it comes to lens manufacturing. The shutter in the lenses was still manufactured by Hasselblad as well as the body. Hasselblad initially invited both PhaseOne and Kodak to develop digital backs for the H-System. The H1 had a number of other innovations, including: * replacement of the removable dark slide with a fold-out lever * inserts and backs that could accept both 120 and 220 film * automatic film advance * digital back integration * electronic leaf shutters with timing from 1/800 seconds down to 18 hours<ref name='Reichmann 2002'>{{cite web |url=http://photo.net/equipment/hasselblad/h1/ |title=Hasselblad H1 Product Review |access-date=2007-10-13 |last=Reichmann |first=Michael |author-link=Michael Reichmann |date=2002-11-01 |publisher=photo.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012184955/http://photo.net/equipment/hasselblad/h1/ |archive-date=2007-10-12 }}</ref> As with the V-series, most H1- and H2-series components were compatible with one another. =====H1D===== Identical to the H1, but sold bundled with a Hasselblad-branded Imacon 22Mp iXpress back which coupled with a 40 GB Image Bank allowed shooting of up to 850 images in one session. The camera could only be used with the included digital back. This was Hasselblad's first integrated DSLR. =====H2===== Hasselblad has built into the H2 cross-platform camera a new single-battery operation of the camera with the new Ixpress CFH digital back, offering one on/off switch and one operating system, facilitating streamlined, integrated operation. With existing digital backs already in the market, the H2 delivers the exact functionality of the H1. The H2 camera was discontinued in October 2007. =====H2D===== 2nd generation integrated DSLR. First Hasselblad camera to shoot to new Raw format called the 3FR. Conversions to 3F files could be done in Flexcolor or Phocus. Can utilize a CF card. No longer necessary to shoot to an Image Bank via link cable. Firewire 800 capable. New metering patterns to match the larger sensors. A new lithium ion 1,850 mAh battery was introduced that would power both the H2D body and digital back. =====H2F===== The H2F can be used either as a film camera or as a digital camera when mated with a Hasselblad CF31, CF22, CF22 MS, CF39, or CF39 MS back. It is completely identical to the H2, but this camera was created to "lock out" other digital back providers from the H-series platform. The H2F is compatible with all of the H lenses, including the HCD 24mm, HCD 28mm, and the new HCD 35-90mm zoom lens. =====H3D===== 3rd generation integrated DSLR. The H3D offered software functionality that provided better integration between camera, viewfinder and back than the earlier H1 or H2 could provide. These two early H-System cameras, after all, were not primarily designed as digital cameras, with the H2 carrying the 'legacy' of the H1. Hasselblad's official position on the move was: <blockquote> "In truth, [the H1] was a great film camera to which a digital back could be fitted, and...Hasselblad started to look at ways that image quality and functionality could be enhanced even more through better integration...The H2 camera has not, in any way, been diminished by Hasselblad's separate development of functions specifically for the integrated H3D. However, lacking the necessary integration of the new camera engine and Hasselblad Flexcolor software, these functions cannot work on the H2."<ref name='Hasselblad News 2007'>{{cite news | title=The Evolution of the Hasselblad H System Digital Strategy | date=2004-08-17 | publisher=Hasselblad News | url=http://www.hasselblad.com/news/the-evolution-of-the-hasselblad-h-system-digital-strategy.aspx | access-date=2007-10-09 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070904071732/http://www.hasselblad.com/news/the-evolution-of-the-hasselblad-h-system-digital-strategy.aspx | archive-date=2007-09-04 }}</ref></blockquote> =====H3DII===== 4th generation integrated DSLR.
