Editing Hasselblad (section)

=====H1=====
The H1 departed from previous Hasselblad cameras in several respects. Hasselblad moved away from the traditional {{Nowrap|6 × 6}} format to {{Nowrap|6 × 4.5}}&nbsp;cm, and included autofocus lenses.

The camera used Fujinon manufactured lenses and prisms, thus departing from Hasselblad's long association with Carl Zeiss when it comes to lens manufacturing.
The shutter in the lenses was still manufactured by Hasselblad as well as the body. Hasselblad initially invited both PhaseOne and Kodak to develop digital backs for the H-System.

The H1 had a number of other innovations, including:
* replacement of the removable dark slide with a fold-out lever
* inserts and backs that could accept both 120 and 220 film
* automatic film advance
* digital back integration
* electronic leaf shutters with timing from 1/800 seconds down to 18 hours<ref name='Reichmann 2002'>{{cite web |url=http://photo.net/equipment/hasselblad/h1/ |title=Hasselblad H1 Product Review |access-date=2007-10-13 |last=Reichmann |first=Michael |author-link=Michael Reichmann |date=2002-11-01 |publisher=photo.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012184955/http://photo.net/equipment/hasselblad/h1/ |archive-date=2007-10-12 }}</ref>

As with the V-series, most H1- and H2-series components were compatible with one another.
