Dedicated to aerial photography, this specialized version of the HC 80mm f/2.8 Lens from Hasselblad is a normal-length prime offering a 46° angle of view. Differing from the standard lens range, this lens features a secure locking mount to significantly reduce unwanted vibrations and flexing on the lens-camera interface, and the rigid mount also ensures the image and sensor planes remain perfectly parallel at all times. Additionally, this lens has a locked focus position at infinity as well as dedicated firmware to close the central shutter and aperture mechanism to their working positions when power is applied to the camera system.
The lens employs a simple six elements in six groups optical design to deliver a high degree of sharpness with very low distortion. Additionally, the central shutter unit affords a shutter speed range up to 1/4000 sec.
