Lens Overview — Hasselblad 150mm f/4
Key Features — Hasselblad 150mm f/4
150mm Telephoto Prime: Fixed focal length equivalent to roughly 85mm in 35mm terms, making it a natural choice for portraits and editorial work on medium format.
Zeiss Sonnar Optics: Carl Zeiss Sonnar optical design delivers the characteristic contrast and rendering that made this lens a staple of professional medium format photography.
Hasselblad V Mount: Designed for the Hasselblad V system, compatible with classic bodies such as the 500C/M, 501CM, 503CW, and related cameras.
Leaf Shutter Design: Built-in Compur leaf shutter allows full flash sync at all shutter speeds, a significant advantage for studio and location work with flash.

Focus is entirely manual, putting the photographer in direct, deliberate control — a workflow well-suited to studio setups and careful compositional work.
The lens weighs 700g and features a 67mm filter thread, making it straightforward to pair with a wide range of commonly available filters.
