Hasselblad Distagon 50mm f4 C T* Lens. Black (20044). Condition: BGN.

The Distagon 50mm was introduced in 1964 to give a wider field of view than the Distagon 60mm. The T* multi-coating was added around 1972 and is a significant improvement, particularly on backlit subjects, and in 1973 the lens became available in black. The C series was discontinued in 1982 when the CF lenses arrived. This is a black T* example, serial Nr 6366522, in a Synchro-Compur shutter. The lens takes series 63 drop-in filters, held in place by a Series 8 retaining ring (50350), the lens shade (40274), or the ProShade adapter ring (40339). As with all Series 8 lenses, ordinary 67mm filters will not fit, as the thread pitch is different.
