Hasselblad V-Mount: Dedicated mount ensures full mechanical compatibility with the entire Hasselblad V-system lineup, including 500, 501, 503, and 553 series bodies as well as compatible digital backs.
Leaf Shutter Built-In: Integrated Compur leaf shutter allows flash sync at all shutter speeds, a significant advantage for studio and location work with flash or strobe lighting.
CF Lens Design: The CF designation combines the shutter and aperture controls into a streamlined design that supports both standard and focal-plane-shutter V-system bodies.
