Lightweight Wide-Angle Lens for Digital Mirrorless Medium Format Cameras: Hasselblad XCD 4/28P | Hasselblad
Sekido Co., Ltd., the exclusive distributor of Hasselblad in Japan, launched the digital mirrorless medium format camera X system compatible lens 'Hasselblad XCD 4/28P' on August 23, 2023. The price is 291,500 yen (including tax).
The 'XCD 4/28P' is a wide-angle lens equivalent to a 22mm focal length (35 mm format) with a length of 43.5 mm and a weight of 245 g, making it the lightest and smallest lens in the Hasselblad X system lineup, and among medium format camera lenses. With an outstanding optical design, it delivers excellent image quality and precise focus, making it ideal for capturing various impressive scenes such as natural landscapes, urban streets, and architecture.
Unmatched Optical Performance for Greater Detail
The 'XCD 4/28P' employs an optical design consisting of 9 elements in 8 groups, including 2 aspherical lenses and 1 extra-low dispersion (ED) lens, achieving superior imaging while suppressing chromatic dispersion. Despite its compact body, the meticulous design delivers powerful performance, meeting the requirements of 100-megapixel resolution.
From Grand Landscapes to Close-Ups of Flowers and Food
With a focal length equivalent to 22 mm (35 mm format) and an aperture of F4.0, it allows easy shooting of nature, urban streets, and architecture. Additionally, with a minimum focusing distance of 22 cm and a maximum magnification of 1:6, it enables detailed and easy close-up photography of subjects like flowers and food.
Flexible Focusing That Captures Every Moment
The 'XCD 4/28P' features a linear stepping motor and a lightweight, compact focus lens group. When combined with the PDAF (Phase Detection AF) technology equipped in the 'X2D 100C', the focus lens group quickly moves to the focus position and stops accurately. This enables fast, precise, and responsive focusing, allowing you to capture the moment without delay when you press the shutter.
Furthermore, it boasts a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 seconds, allowing flash synchronization at any shutter speed. Even under strong direct sunlight, using a flash can create dynamic compositions by darkening the background and highlighting the subject.
