Telephoto Power Pack TPP – Hasselblad has bought them all!
The new Telephoto Power Pack (TPP) created enormous interest with medium format users all over the world. Con-sisting of the Tele-Superachromat 2,8/300 T* and the teleconverter Apo-Mutar 1,7x T* with a drop-in polarizer and a suitcase included, the TPP offers creative possibilities never before existing in 6 x 6 medium format photography.
The lens was developed by Zeiss and is being produced in a limited quantity. This is because the combination of glass melts which meet the design criteria with high prescision are only available in a small quantity which will last for a maximum of 400 units, spare parts and prototype lenses included!
Now Hasselblad of Sweden made a decisive move and secured all available TPPs for the Hasselblad system. As of now, Carl Zeiss does not have any TPP to sell direct. Hasselblad is from now on the only possible source for the Carl Zeiss Telephoto Power Pack. Shipments of the TPP have begun in June 1999. | |
