Used Hasselblad HC 50mm F/3.5 | Black | U8

The Hasselblad HC 50mm f/3.5 is a versatile wide-angle prime designed for the H System, providing a perspective roughly equivalent to a 34mm lens on 35mm/full-frame. Its moderate wide-angle field of view gives plenty of perspective without producing the exaggerated look of an ultra-wide lens, making it particularly well suited to reportage, environmental portraits, travel, and editorial work. The lens uses an advanced rear-focusing optical design with 11 elements in 7 groups, providing strong corner-to-corner illumination and well-controlled distortion and flare. Its 0.60m minimum focusing distance makes it useful for relatively close compositions, while the f/3.5 maximum aperture provides a good balance between size and optical performance. Overall, the HC 50mm f/3.5 is one of the more practical wide-angle primes in the Hasselblad H-system lineup, particularly for photographers who want a natural wide perspective rather than an ultra-wide look.
