Description from the seller

Sonnar 150mm f/4 lens with original hood; free of fungus.

The Carl Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f/4 is an iconic telephoto lens engineered for the prestigious Hasselblad V-system, representing the pinnacle of mid-century West German optical craftsmanship. Incorporating Dr. Ludwig Bertele’s legendary Sonnar design, this lens provides exceptional contrast, high resolution, and a distinctively smooth background bokeh ideal for portraiture. Paired with a robust mechanical Synchro-Compur leaf shutter, it enabled professional studio photographers to achieve flash synchronization at all shutter speeds up to 1/500s. This legacy chrome variant remains a highly sought-after artifact from the golden era of analog medium format photography.
