The Hasselblad V system comprised equipment for superlative photography. It was a camera system representing the ultimate in precision and dependability. The system offered the photographer options for tackling every conceivable photographic situation. That is why the Hasselblad V-system cameras and lenses were the choice of professional photographers and advanced amateurs all over the world, in space, on land, and beneath the sea.
A system with maximum interchangeability was the concept behind the Hasselblad V system. This means that the various camera models, no matter when they were made, accepted the system's accessories almost without exception. That is why Hasselblad cameras and lenses retained their value over the years and represented an investment that really paid off in the long run.
THE CAMERAS:
In the camera names, the "F" stands for focal plane shutter, and the "C" for the (Synchro-) Compur leaf shutter. The 500 "EL" series were electric motor-driven cameras; the motor undertook the mechanical tasks of advancing the film and cocking the shutter. The 500/2000 "W" series were compatible with a winder, an optional accessory that performed the same tasks as the built-in motor of the 500 "EL" series. The "M" means a modified version, while "D" means compatibility with digital backs. The "TCC" (later renamed to "FE") stands for Tone and Contrast Control.
