The V system offers a range of superior
quality lenses with unrivalled specifica-
tions. All lenses use high performance,
central lens shutters, making them
stabile, quiet, and particularly useful
for flash work at fast shutter speeds,
delivering correct captures at flash
sync speeds up to 1/500 sec.
The 503CWD II and 503 CW are
compatible with the entire range of
Hasselblad central shutter lenses, from
40 to 150mm in focal length. All lenses
feature T* anti-reflection coating and
internal stray light reduction to produce
unbeatable image contrast and color
saturation.
The Hasselblad 503CWD II Digital
Camera comes without lens to allow
the widest personal choice; a 40mm
or 50mm lens often being chosen as
"standard" due to the 1.5x sensor crop
factor.
