Hasselblad XCD 2,8-4/35-100E Lens

Hasselblad designed the Hasselblad XCD 35-100E to be the definitive standard zoom for the X System, effectively replacing a bag full of primes. First, it covers a versatile 28-76mm full-frame equivalent focal range with a bright f/2.8-4 aperture. Furthermore, as a member of the “Exclusive” (E) series, it is engineered to resolve the extreme detail of 100-megapixel sensors from edge to edge. As a result, photographers can transition seamlessly from sweeping landscapes to intimate portraits without the delay or risk of dust inherent in frequent lens changes.

In addition, the lens features a significant leap in mechanical performance. Specifically, it is equipped with the fastest stepping motor (STM) in the XCD lineup to date. Moreover, the lens body includes three control rings—for zoom, focus, and a customizable third ring for aperture or ISO—inspired by the V Series ergonomics. Ultimately, the integrated leaf shutter allows for full flash sync up to 1/4000s. Therefore, the XCD 35-100E is the definitive choice for travel and editorial photographers who demand flagship optical quality in a single, robust zoom.
