The Hasselblad 500mm f/8 Tele-Apotessar is a long telephoto lens for the Hasselblad V-System medium format cameras, using the bayonet mount shared by 500-series bodies such as the 500C/M. It was designed for distant subjects — wildlife, sport and architectural detail — where reach on the 6x6 format was required.

UK auction hammer prices for this lens are modest for a Hasselblad telephoto: recorded saleroom results sit at £250 (January 2024) and £312 (March 2023), giving a median around £281 as of 2026. These figures are wholesale auction results and do not reflect the higher prices dealers tend to ask at retail, so a clean copy offered through a shop will typically sell for more than it is worth at the hammer.
