Motor-driven Hasselblad with NASA Apollo heritage, electric advance for the iconic V-system medium format.

The Hasselblad 500EL is the motor-driven version of the legendary 500C, featuring a built-in electric motor drive for automatic film advance after each exposure. The 500EL was selected by NASA for the Apollo space missions, creating one of the most famous camera pedigrees in photographic history.

The electric motor drive provides automatic film advance, eliminating the need to manually cock the shutter between frames. The camera maintains all the modular V-system features — interchangeable lenses with leaf shutters, film backs, and viewfinders — with the added convenience of motorised operation.

Build quality is Hasselblad professional standard with the added motor mechanism in the body base. The camera is heavier than the manual-wind 500C/CM, but the motor drive enables faster shooting sequences and was essential for the hands-in-gloves operation during NASA space missions.

The Hasselblad 500EL holds strong collector value on the used market due to its NASA space heritage and the motor drive convenience. The electric advance provides genuine practical advantages for studio and location work where consistent shooting rhythm matters.
