Hasselblad B60
A 60mm bayonet filter mount used on CF-series Zeiss lenses for the Hasselblad V system
Overview
The Hasselblad B60 refers to a 60mm bayonet filter mount—also called "Bay 60"—used on newer CF versions of Zeiss lenses for the Hasselblad V system. It replaced the 50mm bayonet mount used on earlier "C" versions of the same lenses. The B60 mount appears in association with lenses like the Zeiss Planar T✻ 80mm f/2.8 CF and the Zeiss 150mm f/4 Sonnar T✻ CF. It is also referenced in the product name "Instant Back - H1P (Hasselblad B60) (80mm)", suggesting compatibility or integration with that accessory.

Design
The CF version of the lens introduced a larger 60mm bayonet filter mount (B60 or Bay 60), replacing the 50mm bayonet used on earlier C versions. This change coincided with a shift to a rubber focus ring on the lens.
Context
The B60 mount was adopted with the CF series of lenses as part of an update to the Hasselblad V system optics. Hasselblad has since discontinued development of new lenses and bodies for the V system.
