Hi,
I am an experienced 35mm photographer and decided to get into medium format by buying a second hand Hasselblad 500c/m and 80mm f2.8 lens.
Camera and lens have arrived and are in first class condition as described by the seller.
I am confused by the lens as it has no shutter speed ring to set the shutter speed.
I have done a bit of research and it looks like it’s a Carl Zeiss T* Planar 80mm f 2.8. Based on some Googling I think it is a FE model. It says F on the lens barrel and has four gold contacts inside and two blue lines on the barrel.
Searching the lens number it looks like it was made in 1995. Have I bought something too modern. I was guided by the seller to choose this lens.
What have I bought and why no shutter speed dial ?
Update - a bit more Googling and I have found out that this is an FE lens suitable for the 200 (and maybe 2000) camera body and not a 500 c/m. Looks like my seller had no idea.
Question - is this lens worth more than an 80mm CF lens ? I could sell this and buy a CF or just return it to the seller.
