Lenses
All HC lenses have been specially formulated for the H system to produce the extremely high
performance expected from Hasselblad to meet the demands from conventional and digital
photography alike. In addition to extreme sharpness, the design also incorporates a soft, pleas-
ant looking boké (the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of the image). All lenses feature
an electronically controlled central shutter designed to extremely fine tolerances for supreme
accuracy that also provides flash synchronization up to 1/800s. All lenses have a very rapid auto-
matic focus capability with instant manual override. To ensure reliable and fast autofocus in low
contrast and low light conditions, a focusing-assist light (on the grip) is automatically activated.
Aperture and shutter control is set via the control wheels on the camera grip.
As a general rule, lens shades should always be fitted to achieve optimum performance.
Protective filters (UV / Sky) should also be considered at least when working outdoors in harsh
conditions.
