Zeiss ZV 50mm f/4 Distagon Limited Edition - Hasselblad V-System Mount

The Zeiss ZV 50mm f/4 Distagon is a limited edition wide-angle lens produced for the Hasselblad V-System, featuring a distinctive silver finish reminiscent of early C lenses but with modern optical coatings. It provides a wide field of view equivalent to 28mm on full-frame, suitable for landscape and architectural photography. This ZV (Zentralverschluss) version utilizes a modern Prontor shutter for high reliability. Buyers should examine the silver barrel for cosmetic scuffs or marks, which can impact its value as a collector's item. SDS verifies the leaf shutter timing and ensures the aperture blades are free from oil. Given its age, the internal glass elements are checked for fungal growth and the smooth operation of the focus and aperture rings is confirmed.
