“The 503CWD has been custom built around the classic 500 series camera with its range of high performance, central shutter based lenses. The addition of a high-end 16 megapixel back with a sensor that is 50% larger than full frame 35mm DSLRs - aesthetically integrated with the rest of the camera - turns this classic camera into a digital workhorse. Classic retro features round off the package.”
The Hasselblad 500 series of cameras have existed for over 50 years nearly unchanged, this is a result of utilizing high quality optics and interchangeable parts. You can still use the Carl Zeiss lenses produced in 1960 on the modern camera body.
The advent of the digital back has given photographers the ability to use 50 years worth of high quality camera equipment with the freedom a digital camera offers.
