The Hasselblad S-Planar 135mm f/5.6 is a specialist flat-field macro/reproduction prime from Hasselblad's V-system (500-series) medium format lineup.

The S-Planar formula provides best performance at close macro distances — optimised for flat-field reproduction (documents, artwork, product photography) rather than infinity focus. All Hasselblad V-system lenses include integral leaf shutters for flash sync at all shutter speeds — a significant advantage for studio lighting.
On the used market the Hasselblad S-Planar 135mm f/5.6 is a specialty macro prime for Hasselblad 500-series cameras. Condition checks: both element groups for clarity, integral leaf shutter at all speeds (critical — shutter is in the lens), V-mount coupling. Hasselblad V mount — 500-series cameras only.
