Sorry, I didn't see a forum for 120's, not RF.
I see there are SWC/M models that have the newer lens casing with the rubber focusing ring with the lens designation: Prontar CF T*.
There are also SWC/M models with the older lens casing (similar in look to the older SWC) with metal focusing ridges. The lens designation on those lenses are: Synchro-Compur T*.
What is the difference in performance, quality and worth when obviously buying used if similar in condition? I shoot mainly B&W.

According to David Odess, a well-known Hasselblad technician:
"Parts for the older C lenses are no longer being manufactured, and the availability of these parts is limited to the existing supply.
I have stocked up on as many of these parts as I can, and I will continue to service the older C lenses as long as my parts supply will permit."

Thanks, on the older C lenses (not CF) what kind of filters (?screw in or bayonet) and shades are supposed to be used? I want to get a hood and a UV filter.
