Description — Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8
The Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 Zeiss Planar C T* is a prime lens built for the Hasselblad V mount system, operating in the medium format lens category. It offers a fixed 80mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, providing a natural standard perspective and meaningful light-gathering ability for medium format photography. Focusing is entirely manual, suiting the measured shooting approach that medium format work often calls for.
The lens features a 60mm filter thread for straightforward filter compatibility. Weighing 500g, it is a solid, well-constructed optic that feels at home on a V system body. Image stabilization is not included, so photographers working handheld will need to account for this through technique or support. As a dedicated Hasselblad V mount lens, it integrates cleanly into the V system ecosystem, making it a natural choice for photographers already invested in that platform who want a reliable 80mm prime.
