Hasselblad SWC NASA

The Hasselblad SWC NASA is a very rare variant of the SWC (Super Wide Camera) line, a medium-format 6×6 body with a fixed Zeiss Biogon wide-angle lens. NASA-associated examples are among the most collectible items in the Hasselblad catalogue and appear in the saleroom only infrequently.

UK auction hammer results for the SWC NASA — wholesale saleroom levels, excluding commission — sit at £36,000 (2009) and £40,000 (2018), putting its value firmly in collector-only territory rather than the working-camera market. With only two recorded appearances, any price figure for what one sells for today in 2026 should be read as indicative, and individual results swing on documented provenance and condition rather than a stable median.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Hasselblad SWC NASA worth?

The two recorded UK auction hammer results bracket it at £36,000 to £40,000, but with such a small sample the value of any specific example depends heavily on provenance and condition.

How much does a Hasselblad SWC NASA sell for at auction?

Recorded UK hammer prices are £36,000 in 2009 and £40,000 in 2018; no more recent saleroom data is available in our dataset.

Why is the SWC NASA price so much higher than a standard SWC?

NASA-linked Hasselblads are treated as collector and historical items rather than user cameras, and scarcity plus documentation drive the premium over a standard SWC.
