The Distagon 50mm was introduced 1964 to provide a lens with a wider field of view than the Distagon 60mm. The T* multi-coating was added around 1972 and offers a significant improvement, in particular, for backlit subjects. In 1973 the lens became available in black. There are a number of silver T* lenses, though these are rare and not often seen. The Distagon 50mm was discontinued in 1982 with the introduction of CF lenses.
Designed to achieve the optimum ratio of lens speed to focal length, the 100mm Planar is distinguished by an outstanding image rendition and freedom from distortion.
High quality, dependable portrait lens. The lens has 5 elements and was one of the original four lenses for the Hasselblad 500C.
The designation 'MAKRO' reveals that this lens possesses an optimum image correction at close range. It is a lens to be recommended when corner-to-corner quality is demanded in close-up work, especially when photographing flat copy.
Hasselblad Zeiss tessar lens. This is a 'CB' lens. It is very similar to a CFE lens, but does not have the electrical contacts for use with the 200 series cameras. It is also lacking the 'F' mode so cannot be used with the focal plane shutter on the 200 and 2000 series cameras.
