Hasselblad V system

Hasselblad lenses with leaf shutters are indicated with a C (C, CF, CB, CFi and CFE). The lenses that have a designation F and an F setting on the shutter speed ring can also be used on focal plane shutter cameras.

The original Carl Zeiss C lenses made until 1981 had a design with interlocked aperture and shutter speed rings. On CF lenses, introduced in 1982, aperture and shutter speed rings are no longer interlocked but can be locked together when desired.

On CFi lenses, the flash connector is equipped with a cable locking device. CFE lenses are identical to CFi types but also have the electronic databus connections for the light metering system in the 200 series cameras.

In the CB lenses, Carl Zeiss eliminated some features like the F setting. CB lenses can be used on focal plane shutter cameras (except the 202FA), but the exposure must be made with the shutter in the lens.

The Carl Zeiss F lenses were originaly designed for the 2000 series cameras and did not have the electronic coupling to the camera body. F lenses became TCC types with electronic databus connections when the 205TCC camera was introduced and were changed later, in name only, to the FE types.
