New: Hasselblad XCD 3,2-4,5/20-35E ultra-wide-angle zoom lens

The Transcontinenta Group, Hasselblad distributor for the Benelux, introduces the Hasselblad XCD 3,2-4,5/20-35E, an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens (16-27mm in full-frame) specifically designed for a wide range of photographic applications.

The Hasselblad XCD 3.2-4.5/20-35E is a versatile zoom lens for wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle focal lengths for use with, for example, a Hasselblad X2D 100C or a 907X with CFV 100C. Boasting a superior optical design, a flexible focusing module, and a high-performance leaf shutter, it can effortlessly master a variety of themes like natural landscapes, urban landscapes, vast interior spaces, and environmental portraits with unparalleled visual power. Grab this lens to carve out images that are uniquely yours and immerse yourself in vibrant stories of light and shadow.

Exceptional optical design, and immense scenic details

The lens adopts an optical structure of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements. It effectively suppresses aberrations and meets the high-resolution demands of the 100-megapixel sensor, delivering high-quality imaging at each focal length, and achieves stunning clarity from the centre to the edges. Every minute detail stands out; every colour is natural and authentic, and every shot embodies the intrinsic beauty of the world. At the wide-angle end, the maximum aperture of f/3.2 is maintained, guaranteeing foreground depiction in sharp relief and a soft, delicate bokeh even in dimly lit environments.

Capture the world as you see it

The ultra-wide 20mm focal length is the widest in the Hasselblad X System. Coupled with an f/3.2 aperture, it offers an extraordinary combination of the widest field of view, and the largest aperture within the Hasselblad medium format system. Reproduce majestic landscapes with sharp imaging and capture the grandeur of the natural world. The lens’s small but powerful leaf shutter supports shooting with flash synchronization at all shutter speeds, with a flash sync speed of up to 1/2000s. Even under mixed light sources of flash and sunlight, you can freely explore creative inspirations and freeze every shining moment. From ultra-wide to wide focal lengths, it caters to most wide-angle photography scenarios. Without the need to change lenses, swiftly adjust to desired focal lengths and capture grand landscapes, sweeping interiors, or environmental portraits exactly how you envision.

Precise focusing to capture instant classics

A stepping motor, paired with the focusing drive mechanism of the gearbox and a small and light focusing lens group, more accurately, rapidly, and quietly controls the movement of the focusing lens group. Whether in autofocus or manual focus, a smooth experience is ensured. When used with the PDAF technology of a Hasselblad 100-megapixel mirrorless medium format camera, focusing is quicker and more responsive. 

Elegant design and ergonomic feel

The lens body is crafted from metal for a subtle but timeless appeal. The Hasselblad XCD 3.2-4.5/20-35E is not only stable and reliable but also offers an exceptional user experience. It adopts an elegant and streamlined design, with the 'H' logo print engraved on both the focus ring and the zoom ring. Not only that, but it also features a nameplate on the barrel with branding and the 'V' insignia, lending a refined and enduring beauty to your photographic journey.
