XCD 2.5/55V: Precision optics, outsanding imagery
The XCD 2,5/55V lens is designed with nine elements in eight groups, including two aspherical elements, one ED element, and a special large-diameter aspherical element. This smart design makes the lens compact while enhancing light transmission and reducing color distortion.
When used with a Hasselblad mirrorless medium format camera like the X2D 100C, it produces exceptional images.
New focusing module: Fast, light and accurate
The upgraded focusing module uses a linear motor and a lighter, smaller lens group, eliminating any movement backlash. Combined with the X2D 100C's PDAF technology, this allows the lens to focus quickly and accurately.
Smaller leaf shutter
The XCD 2,5/55V lens features an upgraded, smaller leaf shutter that maintains Hasselblad's precision performance. It operates quickly and quietly, minimizing disturbance during shooting. This compact shutter captures images at up to 1/2000s and supports flash synchronization at all speeds.
A familiar yet new industrial aesthetic
The XCD 2,5/55V lens 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. The design is created using a precise 0.3mm drill bit and is a nod to the memorable look of the HC/HCD lenses.
Whether paired with X-system or 907X cameras, this new lens is both a homage to the past while standing on its own as a unique, elegant statement.
Convenient and intuitive control
The lens is designed to feel comfortable and intuitive in hand to fully support and not distract from the creative process. The tactile mechanics of the focus and control rings are fine-tuned for a smooth and satisfying experience.
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.
