COLLECTORS NOTES

The Hasselblad 1000F represents the earliest development of the Hasselblad SLR system. Examples with clean Tessar lenses—especially those that have been professionally stripped and cleaned—remain desirable among collectors and medium‑format shooters. Minor stiffness in the waist level finder is common for cameras of this age and does not affect shooting.
