CF Lens Series

CF lenses constitute the main series with focal lengths from 30mm to 500mm and can be used on both the 500 and the 200 series cameras as well as on the FlexBody.  They have built-in leaf shutters with shutter speeds up to 1/500 s and flash sync on all speeds.

All but one lens in this series are manufactured by Carl Zeiss to Hasselblad's high standards.  The zoom lens Varigon CF 5.6/140-280 mm, is made by Schneider, Germany.

Three different designations separate the CF lenses.  The designation CF stands for the basic version, while CFi and CFE indicate that the lens design is further improved to provide even higher image quality, long-lasting reliability and convenient operation.

The improvements include:

• New internal design and new anti-relection materials enhancing the image contrast even more.
• Improved design and a new main spring made of NIVAROX, which prolongs the life expectancy and increases the lasting precision of the leaf shutter.
• The new PC-socket with a positive lock, which secures the flash contact even better.
• The redesigned focusing mechanism, which runs even smoother.
• The new reinforced and integrated rear bayonet plate providing even more rigidity.
• The new front bayonet in a durable non-metallic material, which withstands wear substantially better than previous designs.
• The new external design providing increased handling comfort and is styled to fit the Hasselblad cameras even more pleasingly.

In addition to all these improvements, the CFE lenses also feature databus connections which transmit lens data to the metering systems of the 200 series cameras.

CB Lens Series

A lens series with four lenses of 60, 80, 120 and 160 mm focal lengths, all offering superb image quality.  The CB lenses are similar to the CFi and CFE lenses as to the built-in leaf shutter and the improvements over the basic CF lenses.  They can be used with all Hasselblad camera except the 202FA and ArcBody models.
