I want A Hasselblad. Talk Me Out Of It!

You want another

How much.... I mean NOOOOOOO

I've got my eye on a Sonnar 250 T...

It seems pretty inexpensive compared to most Hasselblad lenses.

I've used the various flavors of 250mm f/5.6 - C, C T*, CF. There is no such thing as a bad Hasselblad lens, but I much prefer the 180mm f/4 Sonnar CF or CFi to the 250mm unless, of course, you want the longer reach.

I find the 180mm to be sharper, easier to handle, with better overall rendering than the 250s. Of course, it won't be that much longer than your existing 150mm which is a classic. I had both and sold the 150mm in favor of the 180mm.

I've used the 350mm a small bit, but it's really unwieldy.

I sold my Hasselblad kit but kept the 350mm Tele Tessar because it has a spot of fungus in the lens. I've used it a few times on my Fuji GFX camera with an adapter - here's a crop from a GFX50R with the 350 Tele Tessar.

I've bought and sold that lens several times. Some of us are slow to learn...

Oh, oh. I l use my 250mm lens a lot. To me, it is just right when I want a bit more reach.

I also like the 135mm for the 35mm format.

Don't let those fungi get too close

It's a solid lens, but a lot to carry

If you're shooting analog, I highly recommend the Tele-Tessar 250/4 lens. This lens is relatively lightweight, and its F/4 aperture makes a big difference when focusing.

Unfortunately, The 350 Tele-Tessar is prone to chromatic aberrations when used with a GFX sensor. I finally swapped it for a Superachromat 350.
