Lens Details

The Zeiss Sonnar CF 150mm f/4 has a moderate but unmistakable telephoto effect – shallow depth-of-field and compressed perspective. A popular lens for portrait, fashion and landscape photography.

The Zeiss Planar 80 mm f/2.8 lens and a central shutter, it boasts a shutter speed range from 1 second to 1/500 of a second, plus a B setting for long exposures. The 500 C’s remarkable versatility allows for interchangeable film formats, offering 12 or 24 exposures on 120 or 220 films respectively.

The Zeiss Distagon 50mm f/4 is a wide-angle prime lens designed for the Hasselblad V system (e.g.,500c/m). It’s a versatile lens, particularly well-suited for landscapes, architecture, and large group portraits due to its wide field of view. It features a moderate wide-angle effect, with some versions incorporating floating elements for enhanced close-focus performance.
