Hasselblad XCD F2.5/38Vmm Lens

Hasselblad XCD 2,5/38Vmm Wide-Angle Lens

Hasselblad designed the Hasselblad XCD 38V to be the definitive storyteller’s lens, offering a unique field of view that sits perfectly between wide-angle and standard perspectives. First, it features a versatile 30mm full-frame equivalent focal length, providing a slightly wider-than-normal view that is ideal for documentary, street, and landscape photography. Furthermore, its sophisticated optical design of ten elements in nine groups is specifically engineered to resolve over 100 megapixels. As a result, photographers can include more environmental detail in their compositions while maintaining the surgical sharpness and micro-contrast expected of a world-class medium-format system.

In addition, the lens features the signature V-series mechanical refinements. Specifically, it includes a push-pull focus ring for instantaneous switching between autofocus and manual control, complete with an engraved distance and depth-of-field scale. Moreover, the upgraded leaf shutter is smaller and quieter, yet it enables full flash sync at all speeds up to 1/2000s. Ultimately, the addition of a customizable control ring allows for tactile, on-the-fly adjustments of aperture or ISO. Therefore, the XCD 38V is the definitive choice for the artistic “walk-around” photographer who demands flagship performance in a compact, 350g package.

Key Features & Highlights

• 30mm Full-Frame Equivalent Focal Length: Strike a rare balance between the classic 28mm and 35mm views. Accordingly, it is wide enough for architectural work but tight enough to keep human subjects looking natural and undistorted.

• Large f/2.5 Aperture: Isolate your subject with a soft, natural bokeh that provides a distinct sense of three-dimensional depth. Hence, it is an exceptional choice for environmental portraits where the background helps tell the story.

• 100MP Optical Precision: Utilize three aspherical and three ED elements to suppress chromatic dispersion and maintain edge-to-edge clarity. Furthermore, the lens is meticulously ground to meet the stringent precision requirements of high-density BSI sensors.

• Fast & Accurate Linear STM AF: Benefit from an upgraded focusing module that is lighter and more responsive. Consequently, the lens pairs perfectly with the PDAF technology of the X2D 100C to achieve near-instantaneous subject lock.

• Full Flash Sync up to 1/2000s: Control light and shadow with total creative freedom using a high-speed leaf shutter. Meanwhile, the reduced vibration of the new shutter unit helps ensure maximum resolution in every handheld shot.

• 30cm Minimum Focus Distance: Capture stunning close-ups of cuisine, products, or small details with a 1:6.2 reproduction ratio. As a result, you can move from expansive vistas to intimate macro-style subjects without switching lenses.

• “Hallmark” 8-Point Starburst: Create beautiful starburst effects on bright light sources when using narrow apertures. Specifically, the leaf shutter blades are designed to produce a signature aesthetic that is a hallmark of the Hasselblad system.

• Precision-Crafted Metal Body: Enjoy a premium, 0.3mm drill-engraved exterior that pays homage to the classic HC/HCD lenses. Therefore, it provides a durable, tactile experience that complements the sophisticated aesthetics of the 907X or X2D.
