Tessar T* 160 mm f/4.8 CB

The Carl Zeiss Tessar T* 160 mm f/4.8 CB brings the classic Tessar type back to Carl Zeiss’s line of lenses for Hasselblad cameras. The new 160 mm is a telephoto lens with a focal length very popular in portrait photography. Maybe it is the answer for photographers who couldn’t decide between the 150 CF and 180 CF. The 160 CB is to be used with all current Hasselblad cameras.

The Tessar type enabled a more lightweight lens than a Sonnar approach would have generated. Many photographers consider this alone an important benefit, especially those who prefer to shoot hand-held The Carl Zeiss Tessar T* 160 mm f/4.8 CB incorporates all recent Carl Zeiss research findings about flare suppression and will impress photographers with significantly increased contrast and color saturation. On top of that, it goes easy on the shoulder and on the budget.
