Hasselblad X-XPAN Lens Adapter

Hasselblad X-Pan Lens Adapter

Hasselblad created the Hasselblad X-Pan Adapter to bridge the gap between legendary film heritage and modern digital performance. First, this precision tool allows you to mount the iconic X-Pan series lenses—the 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm—onto your X System camera body. Furthermore, the adapter maintains the compact, sleek aesthetic of the original panoramic system. As a result, photographers can breathe new life into their vintage glass, utilizing the unique optical character and “soul” of X-Pan lenses on a 100-megapixel digital sensor.

In addition, the adapter supports the technical nuances of the X System. Specifically, while the X-Pan lenses utilize a mechanical leaf shutter, the Hasselblad X-Pan Adapter relies on the camera’s electronic shutter to capture images. Moreover, the all-metal construction ensures a secure, light-tight connection that prevents any loss of image contrast. Ultimately, this setup encourages a cinematic shooting style, especially when you use the dedicated X-Pan crop mode in-camera. Therefore, the Hasselblad X-Pan Adapter stands as an essential accessory for purists who want to combine classic panoramic aesthetics with digital convenience.

Key Features & Highlights

• Access to Legendary X-Pan Optics: This adapter unlocks the world-renowned 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm lenses. Accordingly, you can enjoy the distinctive rendering and micro-contrast that made the X-Pan system a favorite among documentary photographers.

• Cinematic 65:24 Crop Support: Modern X System cameras feature a dedicated X-Pan crop mode in the viewfinder. Hence, using the Hasselblad X-Pan Adapter allows you to compose and shoot in the authentic panoramic aspect ratio that defined an era.

• Ultra-Compact Design: The adapter adds minimal depth to your camera setup. Furthermore, it preserves the portability of the X2D or 907X, making it an ideal companion for travel and street photography.

• Precision-Machined Metal Build: Hasselblad uses high-grade materials to ensure long-term durability. Consequently, the lens mounts firmly without play or wobble, maintaining perfect optical alignment with the sensor.

• Seamless Electronic Shutter Integration: Since these vintage lenses lack electronic contacts, the camera automatically switches to its electronic shutter. Meanwhile, this allows for completely silent shooting, perfect for candid or quiet environments.

• Full Image Circle Coverage: Every X-Pan lens provides an image circle large enough to cover the medium-format sensor. As a result, you get corner-to-corner coverage with the same focal length characteristics you remember from the film days.

• Tactile Manual Control: Using this adapter puts you back in charge of focus and aperture rings. Specifically, it fosters a slower, more deliberate photographic process that many professionals find more rewarding than fully automated shooting.

• Light-Tight Internal Flocking: The interior of the Hasselblad X-Pan Adapter features a matte black finish to prevent internal reflections. Therefore, your images maintain maximum saturation and deep blacks even when shooting into the sun.
