The lens is almost mint with very little signs of use. It makes sharp and high contrast images and is one of my favorite 500 series lenses. Selling because I am getting out of medium format film. Comes with caps and hood. I am adding a bunch of pics in an attempt to get you inside the lens. It is difficult to photograph in outdoor light past the amazing coatings this lens has.

It's a beautiful lens, does a great job and is a pleasure to use.

I really, really like mine and sometimes I'm torn between using it or a 150CF.

Good luck with the sale and to the buyer of this fantastic piece of glass!

Someone must buy this lens. It's been torturing me here and also on fredmiranda. So far I've been resisting (because I have the 150mm and 250mm already) but my defenses are weakening...

Whoever is reading this: stop buying useless shit and buy this lens instead.

I too find it strange no one has snagged it yet...this along with the 60 are probably my two favorite 500 series lenses.
Thanks for the boost guys.

I wouldn't quite put it like this but I have the same lens, CFE, if not I would have grabbed this. I would never sell mine for this price!

Good luck with the sale.

I'll bump this thread, too, with a plug for the lens!

*Someone* needs to buy this lens--this is a great price, as well. I've got the identical lens, and it is the best Hasselblad lens I own. (I also have the 50mm CF FLE, the 80mm CF, the 120mm CFI, and the 150mm CF. Which are all great lenses, but this one just has a little extra "sparkle" and resolution.)

It is a bit big, bulky and front heavy. But when I'm shooting someone really interesting (I use it mostly for portraiture, but it's great for lots of things), it's the lens I go to. If anyone wants to see just what it can do on a digital back (22MP Kodak sensor), DM me and I'll show you what it can do. And it's every bit as good on film.

If I didn't have one already, I'd be very, very tempted.

Thanks for the bump Rulnacco, seems like those that have given this lens a shot realize its potential and hold on to it. If I was to stay in medium format I would never sell it.

If you’re moving out of medium format, what are you moving into? Would you be open to trades for anything in particular?

Admittedly just bought a hasselblad H film back and the 100mm H series lens, looking to expand the hasselblad lens lineup (for forward compatibility with digital backs eventually) and would love a reason to get a CF adapter. Just curious if you’re open to trades !

I am sticking to my 4x5 setup and a small full frame digital cam for some time to come. I appreciate the thought, however, I have what I need in my kit for the moment and so I am just looking to sell some items at this point.
