Cranford, NJ—In addition to announcing its medium-format mirrorless flagship, the X2D 100C, three faster, more compact Hasselblad XCD lenses were added.

Hasselblad brought its XCD lens range to 13 with the XCD 2,5/38V, XCD 2,5/55V and XCD 2,5/90V. The new lenses have a compact, lightweight build.  An upgraded, lightweight focusing module adopts a linear stepping motor and lighter, smaller focusing lens group—eliminating backlash from the group moving. Moreover, an upgraded, quiet leaf shutter is more compact and provides flash sync at all speeds.

Photographers can switch to full-time manual focus by pulling and pushing the focus ring to change between AF and MF as well as check focus and DOF readings. Additionally, a new lens control ring supports customization.

The three have full-metal bodies with an engraved distance scale and H logo on the focus and lens control rings. Additionally, their narrow aperture and leaf shutter blades create Hasselblad’s hallmark eight-point starburst effect on bright light sources.

Hasselblad XCD 38V

An option for documentary, street and landscape photography, its 12-inch minimum focusing distance also allows it to capture cuisine. With a 30mm-equivalent full-frame focal length, the XCD 2,5/38V is a low-distortion wide-angle lens. Photographers can include more environmental details when shooting portraits. They can also create a soft bokeh effect from its large f/2.5 aperture to highlight the subject against the background.

Hasselblad XCD 55V

With a 43mm-equivalent, full-frame focal length, this standard lens produces a viewpoint similar to the human eye. This, combined with the soft bokeh effect from the large f/2.5 aperture, makes it a tool for full- or half-length portraits or for shooting documentary, still life or daily photography.
