How can you use the Hasselblad 110mm lens?

Hasselblad Carl Zeiss released its first Hasselblad Zeiss Planar FE 110mm F2 lens in 1977. There have been five versions since then with minor changes in each generation; Hasselblad 100mm F2 FE is the fourth generation lens.

Hasselblad 110mm F2 FE is a lens not only for professional photographers but all serious photography enthusiasts. Its wide aperture (f-stop) range makes it suitable for a variety of photographic occasions: executive and candid portrait photography; wedding photography; landscape and architectural photography; stage photography; or nature and travel photography. That same aperture will also make it easier to take photos in a variety of lighting conditions from dark nights to bright days. Though not the lightest of lenses, compared to other medium format options, Planar 110 is lightweight for its fast (F2) aperture. If you’re planning on using it for macro photography, pair it with a sturdy tripod.
