503CWD

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Victor Hasselblad, we have developed the Hasselblad 503CWD digital camera. A fitting tribute to his dedication, innovation, and passion for photography.

The 503CW has been custom built around the classic 500 series camera with its range of high performance, central shutter based lenses. The addition of a high-end 16 megapixel back with a sensor that is 50% larger than full frame 35mm DSLRs - aesthetically integrated with the rest of the camera - turns this classic camera into a digital workhorse. Classic retro features round off the package.

The camera Victor would have built

In addition to being the founder of our company, Victor Hasselblad was a dedicated photographer

 and innovator. There's no telling what he would have achieved with today's digital technology, but we think we're on the right track. The 503CWD provides the best of both worlds - classic Hasselblad design and functionality and all that modern digital technology has to offer.

This special anniversary camera is being produced in a limited series of 500 cameras featuring special retro design features and Victor Hasselblad's engraved signature.

 The Hasselblad 503CWD Digital Camera comes complete with:
Focusing hood and focusing screen with image format markings, chrome winding lever, Victor Hasselblad´s engraved signature, Carl Zeiss Planar CFi 80 mm lens, Limited Edition of Victor Hasselblad biography booklet, 2 GB CF card and FireWire cable.
