A sophisticated wide-angle prime, the HC 35mm f/3.5 Lens from Hasselblad is an H system lens characterized by an improved shutter unit to support shooting at shutter speeds up to 1/2000 sec, with flash sync available at all speeds. The optical design incorporates low dispersion glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color fidelity in a variety of lighting conditions. The bright f/3.5 maximum aperture also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and provides a bright viewfinder image for more intuitive use. The HC 35mm f/3.5 also employs a retro focusing design for quick performance as well as consistent image quality throughout the focusing range from 1.6' to infinity.
