Hasselblad XCD 2,5/25V

Wide-angle lens for night photography.
Take in the breathtaking view and experience the captivating interplay of light and shadow. The XCD 2.5/25V has a wide-angle focal length equivalent to 20mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.5. This lens furthers Hasselblad's legacy of stellar optical performance, transforming nighttime cityscapes, starry skies and indoor portraits into extraordinary captures. It integrates the classic V Series design philosophy with intuitive, user-friendly features, exuding elegance, both in its aesthetics and in its control.

Expand the horizon, capture light and shadow
The wide-angle view at a 20mm equivalent focal length encompasses a wealth of detail of the surroundings and subject, providing ample space for composition and expression. The wide f/2.5 aperture, combined with Hasselblad's consistently excellent optical performance, allows the XCD 2.5/25V to encapsulate rich highlight and shadow details within its frame, capturing hidden wonders even at dusk or after dark.

Mastered optical design, excellence at any distance
The XCD 2.5/25V features an optical structure of thirteen elements divided into ten groups, including four aspherical elements and three ED elements, meeting the high resolution requirements of 100 megapixel sensors. This ensures that images are sharp and sharp from center to edges while effectively removing chromatic dispersion.

With its precise optical design, the XCD 2.5/25V maintains a compact body while delivering superior resolution, color fidelity and wide aperture. Compared to the XCD 4/21 with a maximum aperture of f/4, the smaller and lighter XCD 2.5/25V has a maximum aperture of f/2.5.

The XCD 2.5/25V's robust close-up capabilities also highlight its exceptional optical quality. Its minimum focusing distance is 25cm with a maximum image scale of 1:5.8. When shooting, the wide-angle view facilitates flexible composition, while the wide aperture emphasizes the subject, enhancing the expressiveness of close-up subjects like gourmet dishes and flowers.

Sleek design, effortless control
The metal lens body features the "V" insignia on one end, with the "H" logo engraved on the focus and control rings. This detail continues the classic design philosophy of the Hasselblad XCD V series with refined elegance.

A light press and pull on the focus ring triggers effortless switching between AF and MF modes. ‌In MF mode, intuitive graduations on the lens body keep focus distance and depth of field clear at a glance, allowing precise focus control. The control ring can be customized for quick access to favorite functions, making it easy for you to capture the perfect moment.

Precise driving, fast focusing: Stepper motor
With its linear stepper motor and a smaller, lighter lens group, the XCD 2.5/25V delivers an agile and responsive focusing experience when paired with the medium format digital cameras of the X or V system supporting PDAF.

The linear stepper motor can precisely control the movement of the focusing lens group, thereby improving the focusing accuracy. The lightweight and compact focusing lens group moves quickly, ensuring fast and precise focusing.

Fast shutter, flexible light manipulation
The XCD 2.5/25V adopts a large diameter leaf shutter module with a shutter speed of up to 1/4000s. It allows for both global shutter and flash synchronization at all speeds, which is particularly beneficial for flash photography. For example, in daylight conditions, flash can be used to darken the surroundings, highlight the subject and clearly freeze motion.
