Its optical design uses \u003cstrong\u003eseven elements in seven groups\u003c\/strong\u003e and focuses as close as 0.6 metres. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eT\u003c\/strong\u003e* designation identifies Zeiss's multi-layer anti-reflection coating, while the Hasselblad V design combines manual focusing with an in-lens leaf shutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"auto\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6×6 medium-format photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteriors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental portraits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreet and documentary work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHasselblad V System photographers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographers wanting something wider than the standard 80mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe 60mm Distagon is wide on the Hasselblad 6×6 format, but not dramatically so. Its \u003cstrong\u003e66° diagonal angle of view\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you more room than an 80mm standard lens while retaining a relatively natural perspective. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt focuses down to \u003cstrong\u003e0.6m\u003c\/strong\u003e, which also makes it useful when you want to move closer and introduce a little more perspective into the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis is a fully manual-focus lens. The leaf shutter is built into the lens, an important part of the Hasselblad V System and particularly useful when working with flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOne point I'd keep conservative until we see the physical lens more closely is its \u003cstrong\u003eexact barrel generation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 60mm f\/3.5 Distagon T* existed in C, CF, CB and CFi forms, all sharing the same basic seven-element\/seven-group optical design but differing in shutter, controls, filter fitting and barrel design. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"auto\"\u003eDeveloping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis lens was designed primarily for \u003cstrong\u003eHasselblad V System medium-format film cameras\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDeveloping therefore depends on the 120 film loaded into the camera.
