Shade query Carl Zeiss 80 Planar FE - no. 40670?

[philipus]

I'm trying to figure out if the hood for my 80mm FE is the one numbered 40670?

The lens has a bay 60 but I'm not sure which hood is the right one.

Thank you very much in advance

Yes this will work. The 40670 has B60 diameter and a length compatible with 80 and 100mm field of view. It works with both CF(i/E) and FE versions.
As a side note, a longer hood (#40673) exists for longer lenses but I never bothered, I use the 80mm hood with all my lenses from 80 to 180mm and never had a problem.
Hope this helps!

Vielen Dank, this is very helpful indeed. Thank you also for the information about longer lenses. This is helpful because I am considering adding other lenses to my bag.

Thanks again,

You're entirely welcome!
Yes, add lenses, you will not regret it. There's little point in having a Hasselblad to stick to 1 back and 1 80mm lens! (this is not meant as a criticism, lots of people do that, but I think other cameras e.g. Rolleiflex are much more suited for this use case).

Prices of 2nd hand Hasselblad stuff is quite low at the moment. (OK, maybe not as low as other medium format systems, but still fairly affordable). Besides, as you have a focal plane shutter body, you can buy the 110mm which is said to be quite special if you do portraits. (Never tried it myself, I stick to 500-series for various reasons). If you are around Munich we can meet if you want to have a look at some of my glass. (EDIT: not for sale, just for informational purposes)

Good luck and enjoy the ride!
