Hasselblad XCD 2,5 38V

XCD 2.5/38V
LIGHTWEIGHT LENS FOR TRAVEL AND CLOSE-UP SHOOTING

Equivalent to a 30mm full-frame focal length, the XCD 2.5/38V low distortion wide angle lens is suitable for documentary, street or landscape photography. Include more environmental detail when shooting portraits, or let the soft bokeh effect of the large f/2.5 aperture highlight the subject against the background. With the XCD 2.5/38V lens, the narrow aperture and leaf shutter blades can create Hasselblad's signature eight-point starburst effect on light sources. The XCD 2.5/38V's minimum focusing distance is only 30cm, which is perfect for photographing food, produce and other stationary subjects. With its compact optical design, small and lightweight focusing module and optimized blade shutter, the XCD 2.5/38V weighs only 350g but delivers first-class optical performance.

PRECISION OPTICS, EXCEPTIONAL IMAGES
Capturing the most subtle nuances of light and shadow begins with the lens. Only with excellent resolution and color reproduction can it provide a solid foundation for imaging. A medium-format sensor has a large surface area and high pixel density, which places strict demands on the accuracy of the lens. Starting with the selection of high-quality glass, Hasselblad engineers carefully grind each lens to perfect optical quality and meet the 100 megapixel resolution requirements.

The XCD 2.5/38V lens has ten elements in nine groups, including three aspherical and three ED elements. Thanks to the well-thought-out arrangement, the lens is not only compact, but also improves light transmission and suppresses chromatic dispersion. Combining the XCD 2.5/38V with a Hasselblad medium format mirrorless camera produces amazing results.

NEW FOCUSING MODULE: FAST, LIGHT, ACCURATE
The improved focus module adopts a linear stepper motor and a lighter, smaller focus lens group. These changes effectively eliminate any backlash due to lens group movement and, combined with the X2D 100C's PDAF technology, allow the lens group to quickly reach the focus position and make a precise stop. The result is fast, smooth and accurate focusing.

SMALLER BLADE SHUTTER, POWERFUL AND PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE
The blade shutter is a powerful component of the Hasselblad medium format system. The XCD 2.5/38V lens is equipped with an improved blade shutter that, although smaller, retains the same precision performance as its predecessors and is fast and quiet to avoid any disturbance during shooting. In addition, this ultra-compact shutter allows shooting up to 1/2000s and synchronizing flashes at all speeds.

A FAMILIAR BUT NEW INDUSTRIAL AESTHETIC
The XCD 2.5/38V is a precision-crafted metal lens with a focus ring and a newly added control ring. Both rings are delicately engraved with an imprint of the Hasselblad "H" logo. The design is created with a precise 0.3mm drill bit and is a nod to the memorable look of HC/HCD lenses. Whether paired with an X System or 907X camera, this new lens is both a tribute to the past and a unique and elegant statement.

CONVENIENT AND INTUITIVE CONTROL
The lens is designed to be comfortable and intuitive in the hand, to fully support and not hinder the creative process. The tactile mechanisms of the focus and control rings are fine-tuned for a smooth and satisfying experience. Simply push and pull the focus ring to switch between AF and MF modes, where intuitive scales allow you to view focus distance and DOF at a glance. The control ring can be customized for quick access to preferred functions, making shooting more convenient and efficient.
