Hello everyone,
And thanks in advance for any help you can give in this matter. A fellow pro and friend of mine looking for a second hand Hasselblad HC 50mm f:3,5 stumbled across a lens that appears identical but is marked on the front of the lens as featuring an f:4 aperture instead of 3,5. Never heard of that one, and what's more the dealer is offering it 500Euros cheaper. I would guess it must be a first version or japan only version (i am thinking of some fujinon lenses that were meant to be for asian market only??) so an "older" lens hence the much lower asking price. My friend did not ask for the number of shutter actuations so that is an element I am not aware of. By the way how many can a HC lens shutter go through before having parts (i.e. : main spring) needing to be replaced?
Thanks again and look forward to a reply on this one.
