The Hasselblad 500C is a **medium format film camera** built entirely around mechanical principles — it operates with **no battery** and requires no electronics to function. It is designed around the **Hasselblad V mount**, giving access to a range of compatible lenses, and uses a **leaf shutter system** housed in the lens rather than the body. This design allows **flash synchronization at all shutter speeds** through a **PC sync port**, with no hot shoe present on the body itself. The viewfinder is an **interchangeable waist-level reflex** design using a **ground glass focusing screen**, and all focusing is performed **manually**. The body is constructed from **metal (primarily aluminum alloy)** and is available in **chrome or black finish**, measuring **170 x 109 x 104 mm** and weighing **600 g**. There is **no weather sealing**, **no image stabilization**, and **no connectivity** of any kind. Storage is via film, listed as 'Other' in the storage media specification.

Requires no battery to function, making it completely reliable regardless of battery availability or temperature conditions.
