Hasselblad Superachromat Lens

The Hasselblad Superachromat lens is specifically designed for taking close-up images with practically no distortions at all. Usage of the Superachromat lens is generally ideal for fashion photography, adventure photography, sports and on-stage photo shoots.

The Superachromat lens of a Hasselblad camera has a long focal length feature. In spite of the long aperture design, it is still very convenient and easy to engage in hand-held photography. The superior performance of the Superachromat lens will allow you to separate your central image from the background which is particularly useful for outdoor portraiture.

Origins of the Superachromat Lens

Use of the Superachromat lens started in the 1960’s. The new technology significantly improved color correction and far superior longitudinal and lateral color enhancements. Since its inception, Hasselblad adopted the Superachromat lens paradigm for its film cameras. When the company started manufacturing digital SLR, the Superachromat lens has been retained for its digital models.

This means the Hasselblad Superachromat lens packs all the major features of the original Superachromat design. By using the Superachromat lens of Hasselblad cameras, image distortion and color aberrations would be absent on your shots.

Special Optic Materials of the Superachromat Lens

The Hasselblad Superachromat lens has been made to perfection using state of the art optic materials. It has a built in positioning system to precisely place optical images so you can take accurate imagery without sacrificing secondary color spectrum aberrations.

The manufacturing technology used to design lenses for space photography and astronomy has also been applied on the Superachromat lens of Hasselblad. That is why the quality of images that can be delivered by the Hasselblad Superachromat lens is far superior to other lens type in the professional photography market.

Simplification with Advanced Utilities

The high end Superachromat lens, specifically the Sonnar Superachromat 5.6/250mm, comes in an ingenious barrel design. The design is simpler especially in the aspects of light metering functionalities.

The lens also features fully automatic shutter but can also be locked so you can manually tweak the lens focus. Most photographers swear that the Hasselblad Superachromat lens can perform excellently for all types of outdoor photography environments.

However, you need to take note that it can also be used for multi-purpose photography and for minimizing stray light reduction. So it is also possible to use the Superachromat lens to take shots of images set on a white background. This makes the Hasselblad lens exceptional to use in medium format photography.
