Hasselblad 500C | Legendary Camera That Traveled to Space

In 1957, a new chapter in photography quietly began. ✨

With the introduction of the Hasselblad 500C, a new level of precision and flexibility took shape. Its leaf shutter with flash synchronization, paired with an automatic diaphragm lens, offered photographers a more refined way to work with light.

Just a few years later, it traveled beyond Earth. 🚀
In 1962, the 500C was carried aboard a Mercury mission, becoming part of a story that extended far beyond photography.

From cultural milestones to timeless portraits, the 500 series became a trusted presence behind the lens.

Across disciplines and decades,
it has helped shape how moments are recorded and remembered.
