New: Hasselblad XCD 4/28P Lightweight, Wide-Angle Lens

New Hasselblad XCD 4/28P Lightweight Wide-Angle Lens

The Transcontinenta Group, Hasselblad distributor for the Benelux, announces the Hasselblad XCD 4/28P wide-angle lens for the Hasselblad X2D and X1D medium format cameras.

The Hasselblad XCD 4/28P wide-angle lens has a focal length of 22mm, weighs just 245g, is 43.5mm long and has an aperture of F4.0. With a superior optical design that delivers outstanding image quality and precise focusing technology for fast shooting, the XCD 4/28P captures a wide range of extraordinary scenes, from nature, people and city streets to urban architecture.

Unrivalled optical performance, unprecedented speed

The lens carries on the innovative design language of the XCD Series lenses, incorporating a metal body and a focus ring delicately engraved with a Hasselblad “H” pattern, signifying Hasselblad’s ongoing legacy of exquisite craftsmanship.

The Hasselblad XCD 4/28P sports a linear stepping motor and a lighter, smaller focusing lens group. When used with the PDAF technology of X2D 100C, the focusing lens group can quickly reach the focusing position and achieve a precise stop. This results in fast, accurate, and responsive focusing, so your scene is captured before the click of the shutter.

Multipurpose use

Capturing a classic concerto of light and shadow begins with the lens. XCD 4/28P adopts an optical structure of nine elements in eight groups, including two aspherical elements and one ED element, which ensures excellent imaging while effectively suppressing chromatic dispersion. With a thoughtfully crafted arrangement, the lens has a compact size and a powerful performance, meeting the resolution requirements of 100 million pixels. The lens yields sharp imaging with high precision and high resolution from the centre to the edges, achieving stunning image quality across the frame.

A slightly wider angle enables distinctly bigger scenes. The wide-angle lens with a 22mm equivalent focal length and F4.0 aperture makes it easy to capture nature, street culture, and urban architecture. With a 22cm minimum focusing distance and 1:6 magnification, rich close-ups of flowers, cuisine, and much more are effortlessly captured.

The small and powerful leaf shutter in the lens supports shooting with flash sync at all shutter speeds, even 1/4000s. Shoot with flash in bright sunlight to capture the dynamic interplay of subjects, highlighting your subject and darkening the background.
