New: Hasselblad XCD 3,4/75P standard lens and X Extension Tube 9mm

The Transcontinenta group, distributor for Hasselblad in the Benelux, proudly introduces the new Hasselblad XCD 3,4/75P lens and Hasselblad X Extension Tube 9mm. 

The Hasselblad XCD 3,4/75P is the latest addition to the Hasselblad XCD Portable (P) lens series and the first standard lens in the P-lineup. With a 59mm full-frame equivalent focal length and the largest aperture in the XCD P series at f/3,4, the XCD 3,4/75P is designed for photographers who need powerful performance in a lightweight, agile form. Its exceptional optical quality and unique lightness make it ideal for capturing portraits, street scenes, and still life with effortless precision.

The XCD 3,4/75P boasts an optical structure of ten elements in ten groups, including one aspherical element and three ED elements, effectively suppressing chromatic dispersion. This sophisticated design contributes to its compact form and ensures a powerful optical performance that meets the demands of a 100-megapixel sensor. From the centre to the edges of the frame, the lens delivers sharp, clear images with vibrant and lifelike colours. Its f/3,4 maximum aperture enhances detail capture in low-light portraits.

Exploring diverse subjects with a unique perspective

The XCD 3,4/75P has the longest focal length and the largest aperture in the XCD P series. It sits between standard and mid-telephoto lenses and is suitable for full-length and half-length portraits. The longer focal length, paired with its wide aperture, produces beautifully soft, natural bokeh to create stunning portrait images.

Weighing just 398g and measuring only 71mm in length, the XCD 3,4/75P is a compact, lightweight, and highly portable lens, making it an excellent choice for portrait and street photographers on the move. Its sleek metal body is accentuated by a signature "H" pattern around the focus ring, adding elegance and Hasselblad’s distinctive style to its lightweight design.

Focusing on beauty with precision and speed

Engineered for fast, accurate, and responsive autofocus, the XCD 3,4/75P utilizes a linear stepping motor and a lighter, smaller focusing lens group. The linear stepping motor provides more precise control over the focus, enhancing accuracy, while the smaller focusing lens group makes focusing faster. When paired with a Hasselblad X System or V System medium format digital cameras that support PDAF, users will enjoy a smooth, quiet, and flexible focusing experience.

The XCD 3,4/75P is equipped with a compact leaf shutter that operates with minimal vibration and noise, allowing users to shoot confidently in quiet environments. The leaf shutter offers speeds of up to 1/2000 second and full flash synchronization at all speeds, enabling photographers to capture high-speed subjects or use flash to creatively control light, even in bright sunlight, and achieve exceptional results.

Hasselblad X Extension Tube (9mm) for convenient macrophotography

The Hasselblad X Extension Tube (9mm) is designed specifically for the X System cameras, 907X cameras, and the XCD series lenses. Extending the distance between the lens and the image sensor reduces the XCD lens's minimum focusing distance, enhancing the close-up capability and bringing intricate details within reach.

The X Extension Tube can be used individually or stacked in pairs. When stacked, the effect is doubled, further enhancing the close-up capabilities of the XCD series lenses. With the resolution of 100 megapixels, every detail is vividly captured. The Hasselblad X Extension Tube (9mm) embodies Hasselblad's design philosophy, simple yet exquisite. With a 9mm length and weighing 89g, it is lightweight, portable, and easy to install. Once attached, the lens's autofocus remains fast and accurate. Whether it's the natural wonders encountered during travel or the subtle details of everyday life, they can all be captured with clarity.
