Hasselblad 250mm f/5.6 Sonnar CF T* Lens for Hasselblad 500 Series V System, Black Review

The Hasselblad 250mm f/5.6 Sonnar CF T* is a medium telephoto lens designed for the legendary Hasselblad 500 series V system. With its Sonnar optical formula and Carl Zeiss T* multicoating, it delivers the sharp, high-contrast images Hasselblad shooters expect. The f/5.6 maximum aperture keeps the lens compact and relatively lightweight for a medium format telephoto, making it a practical choice for portraiture, detail work, and selective framing in the field.

This is a used lens available in bargain and standard used condition grades, which makes it an accessible entry point for V system users looking to expand their focal length range without the premium of mint glass. The 60mm bayonet mount ensures compatibility across the 500C/M, 501CM, and other V system bodies. For film shooters committed to the Hasselblad ecosystem, it fills the telephoto slot with classic optics, though prospective buyers should verify the condition grade matches their tolerance for cosmetic or mechanical wear.
