NEITHER figure could be verified against a primary Hasselblad document: the official 500C/M-500EL/M-SWC/M instruction manual (archive.org / cameramanuals.org scans, reviewed page-by-page) is an operating manual with NO dimensions/weight specifications table at all, and no separate Hasselblad "Data" spec-sheet leaflet could be located online. · accessed 2026-07-10

500C/M dimensions carry low confidence (archived-source caveat on its fit page).

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
