Description — Hasselblad 100mm f/3.5
The Hasselblad 100mm f/3.5 Zeiss Planar CF T* is a prime lens built exclusively for the Hasselblad V mount, covering the medium format camera system. With a fixed focal length of 100mm and a maximum aperture of f/3.5, it sits in the standard focal length range, making it a natural choice for controlled, deliberate medium format shooting. Focus is fully manual, placing full control in the photographer's hands — a characteristic that suits studio setups and carefully composed work.
The lens accommodates a 67mm filter thread, compatible with a broad selection of screw-in filter accessories. Weighing 700g, the lens is sized appropriately for the demands of medium format optics. There is no image stabilization, so a stable shooting platform is recommended when working at slower shutter speeds.
For photographers invested in the Hasselblad V system, this 100mm prime offers a purpose-built, native-mount option in a well-established focal length.
