With its classic focal length and moderate maximum aperture, it serves as a versatile workhorse for portrait, product, and general studio work where medium format resolution and color science are paramount. The HC series lenses are known for their integration with the H system's autofocus and electronic communication, offering a balance between optical quality and handling convenience.

This particular listing represents a used unit available through KEH in various condition grades, including excellent and bargain. At an MSRP of $476, this lens offers an accessible entry point into the Hasselblad medium format ecosystem, especially for shooters already invested in H series bodies.
