Lens Overview — Hasselblad 60mm f/3.5
Key Features — Hasselblad 60mm f/3.5
60mm Medium Format Prime: Provides a versatile, roughly 35mm-equivalent field of view on medium format, suitable for landscapes, architecture, and environmental portraiture.
Zeiss Distagon Optical Design: Retrofocus design corrects for field curvature and distortion across the medium format frame, a hallmark of the Distagon formula.
Zeiss T* Coating: Multi-layer anti-reflective coating reduces flare and ghosting, improving contrast and color fidelity in mixed or backlit lighting conditions.
Hasselblad V Mount: Natively compatible with the full Hasselblad V-system lineup, including 500C/M, 501CM, 503CW, and related bodies.
CB Series Construction: Part of Hasselblad's more compact CB lineup, offering a lighter and more affordable entry into V-system optics without abandoning Zeiss optical heritage.
f/3.5 Maximum Aperture: Provides adequate light gathering for medium format shooting and allows for some background separation, though depth of field remains moderate at this aperture.

Description — Hasselblad 60mm f/3.5
The Hasselblad 60mm f/3.5 Zeiss Distagon CB T* is a manual focus prime lens designed exclusively for the Hasselblad V mount system. With a fixed 60mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/3.5, it sits firmly in the medium format prime category, offering a consistent perspective that suits a range of photographic disciplines. The lens weighs 700g, giving it a solid, confidence-inspiring feel in the hand that is in keeping with medium format optics of its class.
A 67mm filter thread makes it easy to pair with a wide selection of standard screw-in filters, from UV protection to circular polarizers and neutral density options. As a manual focus only lens with no image stabilization, it demands attentive technique from the photographer — a tripod or stable support is advisable for critical work. Intended for the Hasselblad V-system ecosystem, this lens offers native mount compatibility without the need for adapters.
