Hasselblad Lens Review Data

Apotessar · 06-17-2015, 04:38 PM - **1 Like**

Hi folks

After receiving my Hasselblad V to Pentax Adapter, I'm able to provide a lot of test footage. I created a sub site on my blog to host all test images (at the moment 1.5 GB).
Today I tested:

Hasselblad Distagon CFE IF 40 mm f 4.0
Hasselblad Distagon CFi 50 mm f 4.0
Hasselblad Distagon CFi 60 mm f 3.5
Hasselblad Planar C 80 mm f 2.8
Hasselblad Planar FE 110 mm f 2.0
Hasselblad Makro Planar CFi 120 mm f 4.0
Hasselblad Sonnar CFi 150 mm f 4.0
Hasselblad Superachromat CF 250 mm f 5.6

You will find the data here: www.pascalstingl.com
Of course without commercials, registration or whatever.

At the end a little hint about classic Hasselblad lenses. Don't expect to get good lenses when shoot wide open. Hasselblad lenses are optimized for an aperture of f 8-11.
Nearly all classic Hasselblad lenses show there best performance when capture an object near infinity.
Some time ago Zeiss published a very interessting paper about the evolution of Zeiss/Hasselblad lenses: http://static.hasselblad.com/2015/02/the_evolution_of_lenses.pdf

Regards,
Pascal

I like the lens so far on the 645Z.
Anyone else tried it yet?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks very much. It is difficult to find a copy of these lenses to test, and having access to the type of information you have provided is very useful when considering a lens purchase.
Cheers.
