What filters for a 150mm Hasselblad

[brownphotographic]

I'm so confused. I've recently been able to secure most of a Hassey

kit for relatively cheap, and have several lenses that need filters

and I want filters for them for B&W as well as color correcting in

available light inside no-flash locations. I'm spinning trying to

figure out which filter to use for my 80mm, silver compur, Sonnar 150

mm F lenses. I can't find a good source for guides to filters for

hasselblad lenses in Google searches (very possibly I'm using the

wrong word combo). Ladies and Gents, please find it within you to lend

a neophyte Hassey adopter a hand!?

Chris,<br><br>Your 80 mm C lens takes "bayonet 50" filters.<br>The (shutterless, f/2.8) F version of the 150 mm lens takes "bayonet 70" filters. But i think your 150 mm Sonnar is a C lens too (Synchro Compur?), and if so, it takes the same "bayonet 50" filters.<br>However, if it is a CF or CFE/CFi version (no mention of "Synchro Compur" anywhere on lens), it will take "bayonet 60" filters.

Yes, thank you Q.E.

One of my 150 is a C compur, the other is an F. I appreciate the response.

I meant, Q.G. apologies for the typo. I type too fast.

Chris,

 

You didn't mention which body you acquired for your kit. Now, to use the F lens, you

would need one of the focal plane bodies (200x/20x series) as it doesn't have a lens

shutter as QG noted.

My mistake, it IS a Synchro Compur, just got it on Ebay and had to go back to auction, I haven't gotten it in the mail yet. So I have to assume it's a C, as it doesn't look like the CF lenses I've seen.

Something else to keep in mind if you don't want to invest a mint in bayonet filters in several sizes --> You can use gel filters with many of the lens hood / shade systems available and they do make adapters to go from Bayonet filter mounts to the Cokin system (which will also allow you to use square filters from Singh-Ray, Tiffen, Hi-Tech and others).
