All HC lenses have been specially formulated for the H system to produce the extremely high performance expected from Hasselblad to meet the demands from conventional and digital photography alike. In addition to extreme sharpness, the design also incorporates a soft, pleasant looking boké (the visual qual- ity of the out-of-focus areas of the image). All lenses feature an electronically controlled central shutter designed to extremely fine tolerances for supreme accuracy that also provides flash syn- chronization up to 1/800s. Speeds are from 18 hours to 1/800 sec with film and 32s to 1/800 sec with a digital back. All lenses have a very rapid automatic focus capability with instant manual over- ride. To ensure reliable and fast autofocus in low contrast and low light conditions, a focusing-assist light (on the grip) is automati- cally activated. Aperture and shutter control is set via the control wheels on the camera grip.

As a general rule, lens shades should always be fitted to achieve optimum performance. Protective filters (UV / Sky) should also be considered at least when working outdoors in harsh conditions.
