The Hasselblad XCD 2.8–4/35–100E is a high-end standard zoom designed for Hasselblad’s medium format mirrorless X System, created for photographers who want maximum image quality combined with real versatility. It covers a focal range equivalent to approximately 28–79 mm in full-frame terms, making it suitable for a wide variety of genres, from landscape to environmental portraiture, refined reportage and travel photography. Optical performance fully reflects the brand’s heritage, delivering exceptional sharpness, high micro-contrast and very natural color rendering, with smooth tonal transitions that truly take advantage of the medium format sensor. The variable maximum aperture of f/2.8–4 strikes a strong balance between brightness, depth-of-field control and portability, while the autofocus is accurate and quiet, seamlessly integrated with X1D and X2D camera bodies. Build quality is robust and elegant, with a metal construction and a clean, minimalist design that feels well balanced in hand. This lens is clearly aimed at photographers looking for a true all-purpose zoom without meaningful compromises in image quality, while preserving the distinctive Hasselblad look and shooting experience.
