A famous Hassleblad wide angle lens of V system with FLE to implement macro photography. It's a valuable medium frame lens who can take sharp 6x6cm photos. Its view angle equals to 35mm lens on 35mm full frame camera. The aperture has 5 blades with range from f/4 to f/32 and the between-lens shutter shoots from 1/500s to 1s with Bulb. It can also be set to F so it can be adapted to 200 series body and work with focal-plane shutter. There's FLE system in this lens (the other in FLE 40mm lens). To turn the ring at the front end of the lens body, you can choose the distance (4 steps, as close as 0.5cm) to optimize the image quality for macro photo. I like the lens very much and it deserves to have, for its image quality, for its accurate physical construction, for the macro, and also for the expression of Carl Zeiss.
hassy lens 50/4 cfi good for the age color a bit dull compare to modern lens.
Great lens at a affordable prize. Actually I bought this product since I had bought an Hasselblad camera body earlier so obviously I needed a lens also. Reason for bying this product was simply that it was affordable. I have not had the opportunity to test the product yet as the camera is missing its ground glass but the little I have tested it it seems to be working OK and whith a "temporary" ground glass it seemed exellent. If I had the need for one lens like this and had the opportunity to by it at the same affordable prize I would.
