Hasselblad 120mm f/4 HC II Macro Digital Autofocus Lens for Hasselblad H Series Review

The Hasselblad 120mm f/4 HC II Macro is a specialized medium-format lens designed for the Hasselblad H Series digital backs. It delivers true 1:1 macro reproduction alongside the ability to shoot at longer working distances, making it a dual-purpose tool for product work, close-up portraiture, and technical imaging. The HC II designation indicates this is the updated version with improved coatings and autofocus performance over the original HC model.

At 120mm in medium format, this lens provides a natural perspective for macro work without crowding your subject, a significant advantage over shorter macro primes. The f/4 maximum aperture is typical for macro lenses and provides a workable balance between depth of field control and light-gathering. Build quality is in line with Hasselblad's professional standards, and the lens ships with a 67mm filter thread, caps, and a dedicated hood.
