Hasselblad Planar 2.8/80mm "late version" lens?

A9tm · May 8, 2017

Hi, I'm looking to reinvest in Hasselblad V system and wandering through KEH outlet on the bay. This listing stated that's "Hasselblad 80mm F/2.8 C T* Black Late Lens" and described as "Hasselblad 80mm F/2.8 C T* Black Late Lens For Hasselblad 500 Series (V System) {Bayonet 60}". But for what I know from examine their photos, it's more for Hasselblad F system. I sent them a message on the bay but hasn't received any responses.

Mirrored photos:

Is it possible that I'm wrong and it's exactly for V system lens?

This is a picture of an F 80mm Planar, and not even a late one at that. I have the same version for my 2000FC/M body.

That it is.

Their website does not use pictures of the actual item for sale, this may be true for their listings ebay as well, though the listing should so state that if it's the case. It's likely that the picture got miss-matched to the item description.
In any case, an 80mm V System lens is probably available from their website at the same pricing as on ebay, if you don't want to wait for a response. For them, ebay is just a sales venue, the same stuff is generally available on their website.

I don't know where they found a C lens that uses B60 filters.
C lenses almost all used B50 filters.

The filter suggests this is a CF lens. it's a later version using a Prontor shutter.

You might try the used section at B&H Photo ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com )

The KEH photographs of the equipment including cameras and lenses are file photographs and not photographs of the item for sale.

Indeed, KEH is wrong on this one. The lens does not even have a B60 but a B50.

Sirius, if you are looking for a "newer" style 80mm, I have a CFE I could part with. It came as a kit with my 2nd 503,
and has hardly been used. Pm me for details.

I once asked KEH whether an Olympus OM lens was the silver or black nose version, and was told that the lens was in the warehouse and they couldn't (or wouldn't) check. Seems like you have to buy and return if it turns out not as expected. Fortunately, they have an easy return process.

I am tempted replacing some of my CF lenses has been tempting, but frankly I am just not using the Hasselblad for close up photographs. In fact I have the extension tubes that I have tried on but never used.

Not sure the CFi/CFE will bring you anything for close ups. As far as I know they are optically identical to the CF.
If you have CF lenses in good working condition, there's little incentive to "update" I think. The biggest one in my opinion is the somewhat lower resistance in the helicoid of CFi/CFE versions.
