Hasselblad 501CM

Out of stock
Introduced in 1997, the Hasselblad 501CM is an evolution of the V-system, featuring the Gliding Mirror System (GMS). This mechanism prevents viewfinder vignetting when using longer focal length lenses or extension tubes, a common issue in earlier 500-series bodies. It is a fully mechanical camera, requiring no batteries, and is compatible with the full range of Zeiss V-system lenses and modular viewfinders.
