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, pleasant looking boké (the visual quality
of the out-of-focus areas of the image). All lenses feature an elec-
tronically controlled central shutter designed to extremely fine
tolerances for supreme accuracy that also provides ash synchro-
nization up to 1/800s. Speeds are from 18 hours to 1/800 sec. All
lenses have a very rapid automatic focus capability with instant
manual override. To ensure reliable and fast autofocus in low con-
trast 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 tted to achieve
optimum performance. Protective lters (UV / Sky) should also be
considered at least when working outdoors in harsh conditions.
(See Accessories section for information about the CF Adapter that
allows the use of C type lenses from the Hasselblad V-system).
