The Hasselblad 1600F was a medium format (6x6cm) film camera introduced in 1948 by Victor Hasselblad AB of Sweden. Manufactured from 1948 to 1953, the 1600F was a professional camera with high quality precision mechanics. It took 6×6 images on type 120 film.
The Hasselblad 1600F was equipped with a mechanical focal plane shutter whose curtains were made of corrugated stainless steel foil which was light and durable enough to withstand the high acceleration forces present in this exceptionally fast shutter. The 1600F used the Carl Zeiss Tessar 80mm f/2.8 prime lens, or the Kodak Ektar 80mm lens.
The Hasselblad 1600F camera was introduced in New York in October 1948. Production began in 1949, but very few were made the first years due to technical difficulties. It was manufactured until 1953, when the model 1000F with a modified shutter replaced it. The First 269 cameras was simply known as the "Hasselblad Camera", but "1600F" was added to the camera name in 1950, "1600" indicating the highest shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. and "F" the focal plane shutter.
