## Carl Zeiss Distagon T\* 60mm f/3.5 CF Lens for Hasselblad V System
This auction is for the highly respected and versatile **Carl Zeiss Distagon T\* 60mm f/3.5 CF** wide-angle lens, designed for the legendary Hasselblad V-System medium format cameras (e.g., 500C/M, 503CW). This lens is frequently regarded by professionals as a **"universal lens,"** perfectly bridging the gap between a standard $80\text{mm}$ lens and a wider $50\text{mm}$ lens. Its wide range of applications makes it a favored choice for location portraiture, weddings, and documentary work, particularly in tight spaces.
### Key Features and Professional Specifications
* **Model:** Carl Zeiss Distagon T\* 60mm f/3.5 CF
* **Mount:** **Hasselblad V Mount** (Compatible with the 500 series and similar bodies).
* **Format:** Designed for the **$6 \times 6\text{cm}$ Medium Format** (120 film).
* **Focal Length:** 60mm (Equivalent to approximately $33-35\text{mm}$ in the 35mm format, a classic wide-normal perspective).
* **Aperture:** Maximum aperture of **f/3.5**, offering a good balance of brightness and compact size.
* **T\* Coating:** Features the celebrated **T\* (T-Star) multi-coating** from Carl Zeiss, ensuring exceptional contrast, true color rendition, and effective suppression of flare and ghosting.
* **Shutter:** Incorporates a high-precision **Prontor CF Leaf Shutter** with speeds from $1\text{s}$ to **$1/500\text{s}$ + Bulb**. This allows for **flash synchronization at all shutter speeds**—a critical feature for studio and on-location photography.
* **CF Variant:** The **CF (Classic/Focal Plane) version** features improved mechanics and is the robust standard model compatible with all $500\text{C/M}$ series cameras.
* **Design and Handling:** Noted for its **compact design and relatively low weight** for a medium format lens ($\text{680g}$), making it highly portable and suitable for handheld use.
* **Minimum Focus Distance:** $\text{0.6m}$ ($\text{2ft}$).
### Condition and Included Items
The lens is presented in excellent, well-maintained condition (assuming typical good condition for a listing of this type) and includes essential accessories.
* **Hasselblad Distagon T\* 60mm f/3.5 CF Lens**
* **Hasselblad Front Lens Cap** (Likely Bayonet $\text{60}$ or Series $\text{60}$)
* **Hasselblad Rear Lens Cap**
**Condition Note:** The Distagon $60\text{mm}$ is known for its uncompromising sharpness and durability. The body and glass are expected to be in excellent condition, ready to deliver the distinctive high-quality images characteristic of the Hasselblad/Zeiss system.
