Hasselblad XCD 2.5/90V

XCD 2,5/90V
FAST PORTRAIT LENS FOR BOKEH

Equivalent to a full-frame 71mm focal length, the XCD 2,5/90V moderate telephoto lens is perfect for close-up portraits or still lifes. Its focal length, coupled with a large f/2.5 aperture, creates a beautiful soft bokeh effect that highlights the subject. When using the XCD 2,5/90V lens, the narrow aperture and leaf shutter blades can create Hasselblad's hallmark eight-point starburst effect on bright light sources. With its compact optical design, small and lightweight focusing module, and optimised leaf shutter, XCD 2,5/90V weighs only 551g, 11 percent lighter than XCD 3,2/90.

Starting with the selection of high-quality glass, Hasselblad engineers carefully grind each lens to perfect its optical quality and meet the resolution requirements of 100 million pixels. The XCD 2,5/90V lens features nine elements in six groups, including one ED element and one specially made large-diameter aspherical element. With a thoughtfully crafted arrangement, the lens has not only a compact size but is also able to deliver an apochromatic effect for accurate colour correction. Combining XCD 2,5/90V with a Hasselblad mirrorless medium format camera yields stunning results.

The upgraded focusing module adopts a linear stepping motor and a lighter, smaller focusing lens group. These changes effectively eliminate any backlash from the lens group moving and, coupled with the PDAF technology of the X2D 100C, mean the focusing lens group can quickly reach the focusing position and achieve a precise stop. Resulting in fast, flexible, and accurate focusing.

The leaf shutter is a powerful component in Hasselblad's medium format system. The XCD 2,5/90V lens is equipped with an upgraded large aperture leaf shutter that, while smaller, maintains the same precision performance as its predecessors and is fast and quiet to avoid disturbance when shooting. In addition, it captures at up to 1/4000s, the fastest among medium format lenses,¹ and delivers flash synchronisation at all speeds.

XCD 2,5/90V is a precision-crafted metal lens with a focus ring and a newly added control ring. Both rings are 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 customised for quick access to preferred functions, making shooting more convenient and efficient.

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. Beginning with the selection of high-quality glass, Hasselblad engineers carefully grind each lens to perfect optical quality and meet the 100 million pixel 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.
