What to expect, Hasselblad 50mm F4 Black Distagon-CF

[Leigh B]

The 50 does require some care in composing. You're going to have a lot of foreground in the image and sometimes you have to work to get something interesting in there. Like jspillane I usually prefer the 60.

That's why I have both the 50 and the 60.

Using the right gear for the project makes life a lot simpler.

Finally got to shoot with it at Mystic after my wedding. One word. WOW.

Now try the 100mm CF lens.

Enjoy this lens and do not worry! Great for landscapes. Best use it at f5,6-f11 and it is a very sharp lens. Resolution only suffers dramatically if it is used at close range and wide open at the same time.

Yes, and don't stop it down too far.It's probably better at f/5.6 than f/16 due to diffraction limitations.
