The 501CM’s characteristics
make it the perfect choice
both for hand-held photo-
graphy and as a studio camera.
Thanks to the innovative
GMS (Gliding Mirror System),
it produces a full viewfinder
image with virtually all
Hasselblad lenses.
It is an easy camera to
focus. The focusing screen is
large and bright – 54x54 mm
– and features a microprism
and split-image rangefinder. In
addition precise focusing is
facilitated by an interchange-
able 4.5x magnifier in the
folding focusing hood.
The 501CM is a basic but
versatile camera that can be
seen either as an entry-level
model or as an additional body
to the normal outfit. The robust
aluminium alloy body is cast
in one piece making it a tough
contender in the hard world
of daily professional use.

The Hasselblad 501CM is a lightweight, compact,
first-rate camera, available as a separate camera
body, or as a complete kit, equipped with the Zeiss
Planar CFE 2.8/80 mm lens. The camera kit offers
an ideal opportunity for those photographers wishing
to enter the Hasselblad system. The separate camera
body is a useful item for committed Hasselblad
photographers requiring an additional camera body.
