The Hasselblad System: not clumsy and random like today's cameras, a more elegant system from a more civilized age…

Some fine old glass.

These lenses were given to me by my father.

They were purchased in the early '80 as part of a system and used heavily for about 15 years until digital cameras made the film systems obsolete.

Hasselblad equipment of this era was designed to last a lifetime of heavy use, and these particular lenses still work wonderfully to this day despite excessive wear.


Hasselblad 80mm. f2.8

This is a normal lens for the Hasselblad 6x6cm system.
















Hasselblad 50mm. f4

This is a wide angle lens.
