Its optical performance shines in various scenes, from landscapes and cityscapes to expansive interiors and environmental portraits.
Flexible Focus and Operability
This lens allows precise and quiet focus control through a combination of a stepping motor, a focus drive gearbox, and a compact, lightweight focus lens group.
Both autofocus and manual focus operations are smooth, and when used with Hasselblad's 100-megapixel mirrorless medium format camera's PDAF technology, focus speed and responsiveness are enhanced.
