Poll: Which Tele Hasselblad V lenses do you own?

[etn]

Interested to know which lenses are most used by the Hasselblad users in the Forum.
Due to the limited amount of poll entries in the system, I split it in two polls, this one for 150mm and above.

 

[GLS]

You put the 250 SA in the poll twice.

Anyway, in this range I own the 180 CF and 250 SA CF. Both amazing lenses, but the latter is on another level.

Werent there two different 250mm versions, one you can pick up for buttons, and one which is really dear?

Yes, the 250mm Sonnar is the regular, cheaper lens.

The 250mm Sonnar Superachromat is a completely different design with truly superlative performance. It produces zero visible chromatic aberration in the 400 - 1000nm range, and has diffraction-limited resolution from wide open.

I refuse to answer on grounds that my wife may see this.

250mm is not used very frequently, because it is a bit heavy to hold steady. 150m, portrait and some landscape.

 

[Sirius Glass]

30mm C
38mm CF
50mm CF
80mm CF
100mm CF
150mm CF
250mm CF
500mm C


2XE

Least used is the 150mm because I do not tend to take portraits.

 

[Steven Lee]

@Sirius Glass Do you have any 30mm sample images to share? Thanks.

 

[RezaLoghme]

I would be interested, too

A wise man!
As for question: a 150 and 250 for my 500cm. For my 2000FCM, via adaptors: Zeiss Olympic Sonnars. a variety of Leitz long lenses and Kilfitt lenses.

I meant 350mm SA with the second one. Will correct the poll as soon as I find out how to do it

 

[Citsmith]

I have an old 150 sonnar which gets a lot of use. My first Hasselblad came with a 250 sonnar which was heavy and hard to use so when I got this one I bought a 150mm and am very happy with it.

I posted several on Photrio on a Fisheye thread I started. I do not have any available on this computer.

both lensesare of exceptional optical quality but don't forget about the 180mm; another marvel! It's my favorite portrait lens; supersharp and gives a bit more distance over the150

Ralph,
You keep bringing up that blasted 180mm. Shame on you! You are forcing me to reach for my wallet and see if I have enough cash to buy one. I have the 150mm Sonnar and the old chrome 250mm, both of which are outstanding for being as old as they are. I made pretty darn good money with the 150mm Sonnar when I shot weddings, but what I really wanted, and still do, is that beautiful 180mm CF lens. I'll have it before Aug. is over that's for sure.

 

[Hassasin]

In this list the Variogon is certainly a major miss.

 

[chuckroast]

I own um ... too many lenses. But my consistent goto for 90%+ of my Hassy shooting is the 60mm f/3.5 Distagon and the 120mm f/4 Makro-Planar.

John,
Go for it. You will not regret buying a 180, that's for sure. I wish you as much fun with it as I have with mine!

Rule #1: one never owns too many lenses

Agree with you on the 60 and 120, they are my go-to lenses too, with 180 as 3rd.

Yes I will! I have a few photographic items on my buy list, but the 180mm is No. 1. I also thought that the 60mm, 100mm and 150-180mm would be the perfect combination. For weddings I used just the 50mm-80mm-150mm and very seldom the SWC. I manage just fine with those and if I had it to do all over again I think I'd stay with those.

Telephoto Hassy lenses:

100mm CFi
120mm CFi
180mm CFi
350mm CFe SA
1.4XE
Apo 1.4XE

 

[David R Williams]

180CFi, and a lovely 250SA CF that I just found for a really nice price (considering their usual pricing).

 

[Flashcam]

The 2xMutar might qualify also because it is said to cause no image degredation at all. Mine is great with enough light. The 1.4 XE converters sound really interesting if they work with the CF lenses. They are new to my needs and desires, ( and budget).

They're affordable! I'm on here for 10 minutes at a time and then I run and buy even more stuff...
