Hasselblad XCD F1.9/80mm Lens

Hasselblad XCD 1,9/80mm Portrait Lens

Hasselblad engineered the Hasselblad XCD 80mm Lens as the fastest lens in the history of the X System. First, this lens features a groundbreaking f/1.9 aperture, providing the largest opening of any medium-format autofocus lens. Furthermore, it offers a 63mm full-frame equivalent focal length, making it the premier choice for portrait and fashion photography. As a result, photographers can achieve a razor-thin depth of field and a level of subject isolation that defines the “medium-format look.”

In addition, the optical design prioritizes artistic rendering alongside technical perfection. Specifically, the lens utilizes a twin-motor AF drive to move its large glass elements quickly and accurately. Moreover, the integrated leaf shutter supports full flash sync up to 1/2000s. Ultimately, this Hasselblad XCD 80mm Lens produces a signature bokeh with smooth, circular highlights and soft tonal transitions. Therefore, it stands as the definitive choice for professionals who want to push the creative boundaries of light and shallow focus.

Key Features & Highlights

• Record-Breaking f/1.9 Aperture: This lens offers unmatched light-gathering capabilities for the X System. Accordingly, you can shoot in extremely low light while maintaining a clean, noise-free image at lower ISO settings.

• Masterful Subject Isolation: The wide aperture creates an incredibly shallow depth of field. Hence, even the most cluttered backgrounds transform into a creamy, painterly blur that makes your subject “pop” with three-dimensional impact.

• 100MP Optical Engineering: High-refractive glass and aspherical elements ensure the lens resolves every detail on the X2D 100C sensor. Furthermore, the design maintains high contrast and sharpness even when shooting wide open at f/1.9.

• Full Flash Sync at 1/2000s: The built-in leaf shutter synchronizes with external strobes at all speeds. Consequently, you can use wide apertures in bright daylight to maintain shallow focus while fully controlling the ambient exposure.

• Twin AF Motor Drive: A dual-motor system provides the torque necessary to shift heavy, high-quality glass rapidly. Meanwhile, this ensures that the Hasselblad XCD 80mm Lens locks onto eyes and faces with precision during professional portrait sessions.

• 77mm Universal Filter Thread: This lens accepts standard professional filters to manage exposure and reflections. As a result, you can easily apply ND filters to shoot at f/1.9 in mid-day sun without overexposing your sensor.

• Legendary HNCS Color Accuracy: The lens works in harmony with Hasselblad’s Natural Colour Solution. Specifically, it renders skin tones with lifelike fidelity and subtle gradations that require minimal post-processing.

• Robust Metal Build Quality: The lens barrel features the precision-machined finish synonymous with Scandinavian design. Therefore, the Hasselblad XCD 80mm Lens provides a balanced, premium feel that complements the flagship X2D or 907X bodies.
