Hasselblad 150mm f/4 C Sonnar

The Hasselblad 150mm f/4 C Sonnar is a medium-telephoto portrait lens for the V-system, built in the original chrome/black C mount with a Synchro-Compur leaf shutter. Designed by Carl Zeiss as a classic Sonnar formula, it was the standard short telephoto for 500-series 6×6 bodies and remains the most common portrait length for Hasselblad film users. This listing covers the non-T* C version; the later T* coated C and the CF/CFi/CFE updates are separate products with their own pricing.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 150mm f/4 C Sonnar have ranged from around £60 to £275, with most clean copies selling for roughly £90–£175 and a median close to £140. Cosmetically tatty or hazy examples make up the bottom of the range, while the £250–£275 outliers reflect particularly clean glass or kits sold with caps and hoods. Heading into 2026 the non-T* C remains the most affordable way into a Zeiss 150 Sonnar, and at saleroom level it consistently sells for less than the later T* coated and CF versions are worth.
