Hasselblad Announce NEW Trio of Prime Lenses for XCD Medium Format System
Meet the NEW Hasselblad XCD Prime lenses...
Hasselblad 65mm f2.8 XCD Lens - £2,499
The lineup starts with the ideal standard lens for the X System photographer’s kit, this lens is a 50mm full-frame equivalent. This lens is designed to create imagery that imitates a similar field of view as the human eye. A large max aperture of f/2.8 and a short minimum focus distance of 0.5m (20 in.) makes the XCD 65 a versatile addition to your kit bag useful for street, travel and general photographic applications.
Hasselblad 80mm f1.9 XCD Lens - £4,428
Hasselblad's fastest lens ever designed for portraiture, nature and commercial product photography. This lens has twin AF motors and advanced optical design designed to make for a rapid shooting experience. The wide aperture will no doubt produce beautiful bokeh and outstanding separation when utilising a shallow depth-of-field.
Hasselblad 135mm f2.8 XCD Lens - £3,699
Short telephoto, 105mm full-frame equivalent, created for portraiture and landscape photography. This XCD 135mm lens features a close distance setting of 1m (1:5.8 & 1:3.4 image scale) and wide aperture range starting at f/2.8 and extending to f/32. Hasselblad has also brought to market a dedicated X Converter 1.7 which will extend the focal length of the 135mm to 230mm.
