Photographie grand angulaire par HASSELBLAD

Comprehensive technical guide to wide-angle lenses in the HASSELBLAD system and their practical applications. This service manual establishes precise definitions of wide-angle lens characteristics—extreme field of view, focal length, and optical behavior—distinguishing them clearly from standard and telephoto designs within the HASSELBLAD lineup. Traces the historical progression of HASSELBLAD wide-angle optics from early 1600F series production through modern versions, documenting technological refinements and optical improvements across generations. Technical sections cover wide-angle lens design principles, optical solutions for achieving even illumination across the image plane, and specific engineering approaches to controlling distortion. Detailed specifications for Biogon and Distagon models across their focal length variants, including optical characteristics and distortion performance metrics. Practical guidance on wide-angle photography techniques supported by real photographic examples that clearly demonstrate how distortion affects straight lines, geometric forms, and spatial representation. Application photographs show these lenses performing in architectural, fashion, and landscape work. Includes equipment photography illustrating physical lens construction and mechanical integration with HASSELBLAD camera bodies. An essential reference for selecting, understanding, and mastering wide-angle optics in the HASSELBLAD system.
