The Latest Generation Of XCD Lenses.

The XCD 2,5/55V, XCD 2,5/38V, and XCD 2,5/90V, are compact, lightweight, and maintain Hasselblad’s top-class optical performance. A fully upgraded focusing module enables faster and more accurate autofocus. The leaf shutter provides flash synchronization at all speeds and is now even more compact.
Each metal lens features both a focus ring and lens control ring delicately engraved with a Hasselblad “H” logo print. A simple push and pull of the focus ring changes from AF to MF mode, where intuitive scale marks keep focus distance and DOF clear at a glance. The control ring can be customized for quick access to preferred functions, making shooting more convenient and efficient.

The XCD 38mm f/2.5-32 Lens stands as a paragon of Hasselblad's commitment to exceptional image quality and precision engineering. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of a medium format sensor, this lens is a perfect match for the discerning photographer who seeks to capture the world with unparalleled clarity and color fidelity.

Optimized for a resolution exceeding 100 megapixels, the XCD 38mm f/2.5-32 features an advanced optical construction of ten elements in nine groups. This includes three aspherical elements to minimize spherical aberrations and three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements to control chromatic aberrations, ensuring crisp, distortion-free images across the entire frame.

The lens's 30mm full-frame equivalent focal length opens up a world of creative possibilities, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of photographic applications, from expansive landscapes and dynamic street scenes to intimate portraits and detailed close-ups. The wide f/2.5 aperture excels in low-light conditions and provides a shallow depth of field for a beautiful bokeh effect, drawing attention to the subject against a softly blurred background.

Incorporating Hasselblad's renowned leaf shutter system, the XCD 38mm f/2.5-32 lens offers high-speed shutter capabilities up to 1/2000s, enabling photographers to capture fast-moving subjects with ease. The shutter's flash synchronization at all speeds is a boon for creative lighting, allowing for the use of flash in any lighting condition without limitations.

The lens's autofocus is swift and silent, thanks to the upgraded focusing module with a linear stepping motor. This, combined with the Hasselblad X2D's Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) technology, ensures rapid and precise focus acquisition. For those who prefer manual control, the focus ring's push-pull mechanism allows for a seamless switch to manual focus, where distance and depth of field scales aid in achieving sharp, accurate shots.

The XCD 38mm f/2.5-32 is not only a marvel of optical performance but also a testament to Hasselblad's iconic design language. The metal construction exudes durability, and the focus and control rings feature the signature Hasselblad "H" logo, meticulously engraved with a 0.3mm drill bit. The tactile feedback of the rings is finely calibrated for a satisfying, intuitive user experience.

Weighing a mere 350g, this lens is a testament to the fusion of portability and top-tier optical prowess. Its compact size belies its robust build quality and makes it an ideal companion for photographers on the move. The minimum focusing distance of just 30cm opens up a realm of macro photography, allowing for the capture of intricate details in subjects like cuisine and products.

The XCD 38mm f/2.5-32 Lens is a versatile tool that empowers photographers to explore their creative vision with confidence, knowing that the lens's performance will not only meet but exceed the highest standards of medium format photography.
