Optical Design

The Hasselblad HC 50mm f/3.5 II is a **prime** lens engineered for the **Hasselblad H mount** and built to serve **medium format** camera systems. Its fixed **50mm focal length** positions it as a standard-to-wide option well suited to a wide range of photographic applications. With a **maximum aperture of f/3.5**, it provides solid light intake for a medium format prime. The lens accommodates **77mm filters**, a readily available size that integrates easily into most existing filter setups. Focusing is handled through both **autofocus and manual focus** modes, allowing shooters to adapt to different scenarios without swapping lenses. The lens weighs **875g**, which reflects the optical requirements of covering the medium format image circle. **Image stabilization is not present**, so stable camera support is advisable in situations where shutter speed may be a concern. Whether used in the studio or in the field, the HC 50mm f/3.5 II offers H system photographers a dedicated native-mount prime at a practical focal length.

Equivalent to roughly 35mm in full-frame terms, this focal length covers a natural wide-to-standard perspective well suited to landscape, architecture, and documentary work.
