INCLUDING XCD 1,9/80, HASSELBLAD’S FASTEST LENS EVER
Increasing
the capabilities of the X1D-50c mirrorless medium format camera,
Hasselblad adds three new lenses to its XCD lens family, including the
XCD 1,9/80, with the largest
aperture of a Hasselblad lens ever, the XCD 2,8/65 and the XCD 2,8/135
telephoto lens with X Converter 1,7. The three new lenses and one
dedicated teleconverter expand the XCD family to nine different focal
lengths.
The
XCD 1,9/80 represents a major milestone for Hasselblad with an
impressive f/1,9 aperture, Hasselblad’s largest lens aperture, offering
an extremely shallow depth of field
and light-gathering ability. Thanks to Hasselblad’s optical design
expertise and rigorous calibration standards, the XCD 80mm boasts
superior optical surface precision, avoiding poor bokeh results or out
of focus highlights often seen in high aperture lenses
with aspherical surfaces. The lens’ distinct twin motor drive provides
quick autofocus performance, while offering a precise manual focus
experience. Maximizing the artistic potential of X1D image makers for a
stunning shooting experience with a field of view
similar to 63mm on a full frame system, it is especially suitable for
portrait, nature and product photography with its ability to produce
pleasing bokeh through excellent subject isolation and shallow depth of
field.
The
XCD 2,8/65 is the ideal standard lens in any X System photographer’s
kit. With a 50mm full frame equivalency, it’s designed to achieve the
‘normal’ focal length and mimic
the human field of view. Thanks to its f/2,8 maximum aperture and 0.5 m
(20 in.) minimum focus distance, the XCD 65mm is the versatile option
for street, travel and general photography.
Growing
the telephoto range, the XCD 2,8/135 and X Converter 1,7 expand the
reach of Hasselblad’s X1D-50c. Available as both a paired kit or as a
stand-alone lens, the XCD 135mm
and dedicated teleconverter have been designed as a cohesive unit to
ensure no decrease in image quality when the teleconverter is used.
Without the teleconverter, the XCD 135mm has an aperture range of 2,8-32
and a field of view similar to 105mm lenses on
full frame cameras and features a minimum focus distance of 1 m. With
the X Converter 1,7, the lens’ focal length grows to 230mm (178mm full
frame equivalent) with a f/4,8 maximum aperture and minimum focus
distance of 1.05 m. The telephoto focal length is
ideal for portrait, outdoor, and landscape photographers looking to
document details and subjects with stunning image quality.
Like
the other XCD lenses, the XCD 80mm, XCD 65mm and XCD 135mm feature an
integral central shutter, offering exposure times from 60 minutes to
1/2000s with full flash synchronization
through the entire range.
The XCD 80mm, XCD 65mm and the XCD 135mm lenses are now available for pre-ordering and will begin shipping in December 2018.
The XCD 80mm lens has an MSRP of €3,990, $4,845, £3,690, JPY¥ 576,000 (excl. VAT) / CNY¥ 38,500 (incl. VAT).
