Hasselblad 150mm f/4 C Sonnar T*

The Hasselblad 150mm f/4 C Sonnar T* is a medium-format short telephoto designed for the V-system bayonet mount, built around the classic Zeiss Sonnar optical layout. With its multi-coated T* optics and leaf shutter housed in the lens barrel, it was the standard portrait lens for 500-series bodies such as the 500C/M, delivering a field of view on 6x6 roughly equivalent to an 85mm on 35mm film.

At UK auction today, hammer prices for the 150mm f/4 C Sonnar T* have sat in a tight band, with the five tracked results running from £100 to £214 and a median around £140 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer asking prices. The top result of £214 in March 2025 reflects a clean copy, while tired examples with cosmetic or optical faults sell for around £100. Buyers should remember these figures are hammer only and exclude buyer's premium.
