This is currently my only lens for my new X1D, with plans to next add the 90mm lens. The 45mm is perfect in size, and is easy to use on the camera. My first few photos look great, and this lens is the perfect "first" for a wonderful camera.

The lens is small and light, consistent with the design concept of the camera. It is extremely sharp - more than capable of getting the most out of the 50mp CMOS sensor of the X1D. Edge sharpness is excellent. Contrast and color are very good. The Phocus software works very well to tune up the lens performance (minor distortion and vignetting potential). Highly recommended.

Where professional quality and innovative design meet, the XCD 45mm f/3.5 lens for X1D stands out as the quintessential standard lens for the Hasselblad X1D camera system. With its moderate wide-angle focal length, it offers a 35mm equivalent field of view, making it an ideal choice for a multitude of photography styles, including portraits, street photography, and general-purpose use.
As a key component of the X System lens range, this lens boasts a lightweight and compact design that harmoniously complements the sleek X1D body. This synergy between lens and camera body enhances the user experience, especially during travel or extended photography sessions.
The XCD 45mm lens is equipped with the Hasselblad Central Lens Shutter, a feature that showcases the brand's commitment to precision and durability. This central, or leaf shutter, is meticulously crafted at the Hasselblad factory in Sweden, ensuring stringent quality control at every stage of the manufacturing process.
This innovative shutter design offers a myriad of advantages. It allows for flash sync at all shutter speeds, up to a swift 1/2000th of a second. The shutter's open and closed states are maintained by powerful neodymium magnets, eliminating the need for additional energy. The leaf blades' high acceleration speed ensures minimal time for full opening and closing, while the shutter speed calibration can be set with extreme accuracy, independent of mechanics or springs.
The Hasselblad Central Lens Shutter is not only incredibly durable but also designed for high life cycles, exceeding the existing service limit of 1,000,000 exposures. Always in a "ready" state, the shutter doesn't need to be "cocked", and it produces virtually no vibration for longer exposures.
In summary, the XCD 45mm f/3.5 lens for X1D is a testament to Hasselblad's reputation for high-quality, professional, and versatile photography equipment. It's a lens that delivers on all fronts, providing photographers with the tools they need to capture their world in stunning detail.
