Get in Focus with a Hasselblad 150mm Camera Lens

If you are looking to buy a new lens for your Hasselblad camera, consider the 150mm for your next purchase. There are many 150mm lenses available for sale on eBay; here are a few things you should know before making a decision.

When does a photographer use a 150mm lens?

The 150mm autofocus lens is used for a variety of reasons. This lens is ideal for head and shoulder portraits. It can also be used for nature and landscape photography as well. The 150's focal length allows users to have a moderate telephoto effect for their photos. The narrow depth of field can help the user to isolate the subject in their pictures. The background is then blurred to keep the focus on the subject. This lens is longer than a standard lens for the Hasselblad brand. The 150mm lens is great for low light conditions with its fast AF and internal focus mechanisms. The multi-coating and electric shutters are effective for minimizing stray light. Its focus drive motor lets the user have quick access to the manual focus without needing to switch between the auto and manual settings.

What are some features of the Hasselblad 150mm lens?

This is a macro lens for the Hasselblad H series. It has a focal length up to 150mm. The maximum aperture is f/4 to a minimum of f/32. It can fit any Hasselblad camera from the CF series. The minimum focus distance is 4.5 feet/1.37m with an area of coverage of 39 x 39cm. The flash synchronization shutter speed is up to 1/500. All the CF series lenses have upgraded shutter components, smoother focus, and a reinforced bayonet plate for more durability.

Is this a medium format lens?

Yes, this is a medium format lens. Most Hasselblad cameras use the 120 size film format or medium format lenses. These types of lenses have better image quality over the 35mm lenses. Medium format lenses have a larger image area, so they offer the user a high-quality picture. In photography, the term medium format does have two meanings. Cameras adapted from the medium format model are referred by this name. A sensor larger than 35mm is also called medium format as well.
