Includes lens shade and caps.
Fantastic condition. SEE BELOW FOR CONDITION.
The best Hasselblad kit possible is the 60mm/100mm/180mm kit.
(don't fall for the old common 50/80/150, which is lens designs from the 1950s)
With the 60/100/180 you get the three best lenses ever made for Hasselblad, and if you need wider, get a 40 to add to it. Then your spacing is even and you can use the 40 for the digital back you will eventually get when they become dirt cheap.
CONDITION:
no haze, fungus, separation, or other problems.
may have tiny amount of dust.
Shutter speeds are right on.
Barrel is in perfect unmarked condition
Number printing is perfect
Rear bayonet is perfect
It is missing the clamp for the pc connector.
See photos.
I have taken many fantastic photos with this lens over the last ten years or so. Selling due to ill health.
EXPLANATION OF CB TYPE LENSES:
The 60mm CB is the only CB lens (for USA market) that shares the exact same glass, barrel, and shutter construction as the CFi. The only difference is, that there is no F setting. (use B setting for F cameras, as I do with 203fe).
There are a total of 4 CB lenses:
Two are fantastic and equal to the Cfi in quality.
60CB SAME LENS AS 60CFi
120CB SAME LENS AS 120Cfi
Two are inferior.
80CB Inferior lens to 80C, Cf, CFi and Cfe
160CB Inferior lens to 150 C,Cf and CFi
When the 60 CB came out, the 60 CF was discontinued, because the 60CF was inferior to the 60 CB, and no longer needed.
One of the best quality lenses for Hasselblad.
Selling all cameras due to ill health.
The 60CB is special because it is essentially the same as a 60mm cfi, and you don't have to pay the high price. The other cb lenses are inferior to the c, cf, and cfi series. Don't buy any cb lenses except the 60mm. (and the 120 makro if you get one from japan, as they were not sold in the USA).
I have a Hasselblad Brochure that claims that the cfi improvements are included on the cb series as well. The only difference between a 60cfi and a 60cb is that the 60cb does not have an F setting for focal plane bodies. This is not important because there is a B setting which works fine with the Focal plane bodies! There is a restriction with the 202fa, however. I don't know if it is only restricted in that it can't use the lens shutter of the cb, or if it can't be used at all. But for all 200 series except 202fa, there are no restrictions.
The only thing left to discuss is the optical design, which was never changed. It was calculated for release on the 60 f3.5 type C, and was continued on CF, CB and CFi. One of the best lenses to own as it is is very light, has a wide aperture, a wide angle but not too wide and perfect for a normal lens especially indoors.
I also have the Richard Nordin Hasselblad Compendium book which claims this to be one of the most under appreciated lenses. But with the internet and photo forum, folks are getting wise fast. You ought to buy that Nordin book as well.

About my feedback: In 8
years, I have had only 2 bad feedbacks out of 360. Both happened in May
2018. One is legitimate, one a lie. The legitimate one occurred because of a computer problem, I was unaware a
purchase had been made, and money was refunded. On the other item, it was
shipped 3 or 4 days later than scheduled (I was in hospital). This buyer has his item, is happy with it and doesn't want to return it. He wants a refund but wants to keep the item. He told 3 lies in his feedback and told me he would remove the bad feedback
and change it to good, for $100. All this dialog, was done on cellular text messaging so the telco has it on record and so do I. I can prove all this but if you are
skeptical, and I don't blame you, forget about me and any of my listings. I don't want to enter into any agreement
under a climate of distrust. More importantly, nothing I do will convince you otherwise if you are the type that condemns a person at the first hint of trouble, despite the fact that I performed perfectly for 8 years. There are 358 good feedbacks, $80k of sold items without a single return or complaint, at least 100 items were high priced,
delicate technical items shipped overseas. Ebay is not perfect and
unfortunately, honesty is rarely rewarded and dishonesty usually is profitable. We live in a climate of savagery, distrust, and sickness, where even Mr. Fred Rogers, of PBS was condemned on the 6 o'clock news for destroying children, after he spent his entire life helping them.

Returns: No one has ever asked to return anything to me. But I still must write the following:
No returns accepted for
buyers remorse, but the unit will be tested and videotaped prior to despatch
and insured by the usps. Any loss due to damage (or malfunction upon
receipt), will be chargeable to the USPS insurance. You will be
compensated in that fashion.
IN SHORT: If you are honest and have an honest problem I will accommodate you happily. If you try to scam or mail fraud me, I won't make it easy for you.
Since I have never had a customer ask me to
return something, I have no experience with this. But I always do it this
way, with insurance, and with proof of function and condition just prior to
despatch, because I know how some people are. If you feel something is not right and still want to return it please contact me, and we will try to make arrangements if you are reasonable about things and you have not damaged or broken the item. But please don't expect to buy, use for a while and return when you are done, like a walmart. I can't accommodate those arrangements. This is not a guarantee that I will accept a return. Rather, it is to reassure you that I am going to try to help if there is some problem which I have not though of. See above. I have listed returns as being accepted for USA customers only. This is not for buyers remorse, but for cause if something is wrong with it due to shipping damage. I don't list overseas buyers as returns accepted, because if someone commits fraud mail from overseas I can't press charges.
Overseas buyers, shipping arrangements will be made in concert with you, prior to dispatch. Only after we both agree on a courier, shipping price, and shipping date, will the item be despatched. If shipping is not possible or too expensive I will allow you to have an immediate refund. I have sent my personal Hasselblad items all over the world for years. Never have I had so much as a call back from a buyer. Buy with the utmost confidence.
I reserve the right to refuse shipment to any country or buyer overseas that I do not feel will result in a satisfactory result for both parties.
Note: To new and
"no account" bidders:
I can not sell to
members with 0 feedback, or members who have only just registered as members
within the last few months or so. The way ebay has set up their system,
sellers must be able to trust the buyers before entering a transaction.
If you don't know what I am talking about, search: "Guardian ebay
accused" and read an article about it. I am sorry their system is
set up this way
