Hasselblad HASSELBLAD 500mm Tele Apotessar f/8.0 T* CF | $3799.95 | | |
The large focusing ring is extremely smooth which results in fast and precise focusing. Mounted on a tripod the centre of gravity remains virtually constant through focus changes.
This lens is an essential part of a wildlife or landscape photographer's equipment.
The Tele-Apotessar lens has been designed using special glass of extreme optical properties.
A special feature of the Tele-Apotessar lens is its internal focusing, i. e. the lens is focused by moving the rear group while the front group remains stationary. This yields several advantages. Firstly, the mechanical length of the lens does not change during focusing. Hence, when working with a tripod, the location of the centre of gravity of the equipment remains virtually constant during focusing because the mass of the parts moved is very small. Secondly, as the focusing thread is relieved of the pressure of the total weight of the main mount, the movement of the focusing ring is smooth and
operation is comfortable and fast.
Finally, another important point is the high image quality at close range.
