Latest CFi version of the Hasselblad V wide-angle — Zeiss Distagon 50mm f/4 T*.
The Hasselblad Carl Zeiss CFi Distagon 50mm f/4 T* is the later CFi version of the wide-angle lens for the Hasselblad V system. The CFi designation indicates the most modern V-system lens interface, providing compatibility across the broadest range of V-system bodies with both Compur and focal-plane shutter support.
Optical quality is excellent with the Distagon design providing a 30mm equivalent wide-angle perspective on the 6x6cm format. The T* coating delivers Zeiss's signature contrast and colour. The CFi version may include improved coatings over earlier C and CF variants for marginally better flare resistance.
Build quality is to the highest Hasselblad and Zeiss standards with the integrated Prontor CF leaf shutter. The CFi interface ensures broad compatibility. The lens handles well on V-system bodies and provides reliable, precise mechanical operation.
On the used market, the CFi Distagon 50mm f/4 commands a premium over earlier C and CF versions due to its broader compatibility and later manufacture. For Hasselblad V photographers wanting the most refined and compatible wide-angle option, the CFi version is the optimal choice.
