The Hasselblad 500 C/M is a fully mechanical medium format SLR system camera built around a modular design. It uses 120/220 roll film to produce 6×6 cm negatives, delivering high image detail and tonal depth. The camera features an interchangeable film back, viewfinder, and focusing screen, allowing rapid configuration changes without unloading film. At its core is a leaf-shutter lens system (Compur) integrated into Carl Zeiss optics, enabling flash synchronization at all shutter speeds up to 1/500 s. Shutter speeds range from 1 s to 1/500 s plus Bulb, entirely mechanical and independent of batteries. The body incorporates a mirror reflex viewing system with a waist-level finder as standard, supporting precise manual composition. The 500 C/M employs the V-system bayonet mount, compatible with a wide range of Zeiss C and CF lenses. Focusing is fully manual via a precision helical focusing mechanism. Construction is based on a metal chassis, designed for dimensional stability and long-term mechanical accuracy. The camera supports multiple focusing screens, including split-image and microprism options, optimizing focusing precision across shooting conditions.
