Hasselblad XCD F2.5/55Vmm Lens

Hasselblad XCD 2,8/55Vmm Lens

Hasselblad designed the Hasselblad XCD 55V to be the quintessential standard prime for the X System, offering a natural perspective that mirrors human vision. First, it features a versatile 43mm full-frame equivalent focal length, making it the perfect “walk-around” lens for documentary, street, and portrait photography. Furthermore, it is engineered with an advanced optical structure of nine elements in eight groups, specifically designed to resolve over 100 megapixels. As a result, photographers can capture breathtaking detail and the subtle nuances of light that define the medium-format experience.

In addition, the lens debuts a modernized “V-series” industrial aesthetic. Specifically, it features a precision-machined metal body with a unique push-pull focus ring for instantaneous switching between AF and MF. Moreover, the upgraded leaf shutter is smaller and quieter than previous generations, yet it enables full flash sync at all speeds up to 1/2000s. Ultimately, the inclusion of a customizable control ring allows for tactile adjustment of ISO, aperture, or exposure compensation. Therefore, the XCD 55V is the definitive choice for professionals seeking elite performance in a compact 372g frame.

Key Features & Highlights

• 43mm Full-Frame Equivalent Field of View: Capture scenes with a natural, undistorted perspective. Accordingly, it is the most versatile prime in the lineup, suitable for everything from environmental portraits to high-end still life.

• Large f/2.5 Aperture: Achieve a shallow depth of field and smooth, creamy bokeh that isolates subjects beautifully. Hence, it excels in low-light environments and provides a distinct professional look for editorial work.

• Push-Pull AF/MF Mechanism: Transition between autofocus and manual focus in a fraction of a second. Furthermore, once pulled into MF mode, the lens reveals a physical distance and depth-of-field scale for precision zone focusing.

• Upgraded 1/2000s Leaf Shutter: Overpower the sun with high-speed flash synchronization. Consequently, you can use powerful studio strobes outdoors at wide apertures without the need for high-speed sync (HSS) workarounds.

• Customizable Lens Control Ring: Assign your most-used setting directly to the lens for faster operation. Meanwhile, the ring features a delicately engraved Hasselblad “H” logo, providing a premium tactile grip.

• Optimized for 100MP Sensors: Utilize three aspherical elements to eliminate chromatic aberration and maintain edge-to-edge sharpness. As a result, your images are fully optimized for the extreme resolution of the X2D 100C.

• Linear Stepper Motor (STM): Experience fast, silent, and accurate autofocus that pairs perfectly with LiDAR and PDAF systems. Specifically, the internal focusing group is lighter and faster, reducing hunting in complex scenes.

• Compact & Lightweight (372g): Enjoy a high-performance prime that won’t weigh down your kit during long days of travel. Therefore, it balances perfectly on both the compact 907X and the flagship X2D bodies.
