The Hasselblad XCD 35‑100mm f/2.8‑4 E is a beautifully crafted standard zoom that pairs breathtaking optical performance with the flexibility and ease of a single-lens solution. Covering a 28–76 mm full-frame equivalent range, this lens blends wide-angle to short telephoto perspectives, making it a go-to choice for landscapes, street scenes, portraits, and travel photography alike.
Built to meet the demands of modern high-resolution medium format sensors, the lens incorporates a sophisticated optical formula — including three aspherical elements and five low-dispersion glass elements — to deliver precise rendering with minimal distortion, chromatic aberration, and colour fringing.
Bright and balanced, the variable f/2.8–4 aperture gives you strong low-light capability and beautiful background separation without sacrificing clarity. The integrated leaf shutter enables flash synchronisation up to 1/4000 s — a powerful tool for controlling ambient light and creative flash effects even in bright conditions.
Handling is intuitive and responsive thanks to the lens’s internal focusing system driven by an advanced stepping motor, ensuring smooth autofocus and precise manual control. Thoughtful ergonomic touches — like dedicated zoom and focus rings and an assignable control ring — bring a tactile, photographer-centric experience to both studio and field work.
Despite its extended zoom range and bright performance, this lens remains compact and balanced on Hasselblad X-series bodies, with a design that’s about 19 % lighter and 10 % shorter than its predecessor.
From sweeping landscapes to rich environmental portraits, the XCD 35-100 E is a powerful all-around zoom that embodies the spirit of Hasselblad — unmatched optical excellence married with practical creative versatility.
