Hasselblad XCD 30mm f/3.5

One of the original lenses for the Hasselblad X-system — the XCD 30mm f/3.5 delivers a 24mm full-frame equivalent field of view on the 44×33mm sensor. It is the natural wide-angle option for landscape, documentary, and environmental photography on any Hasselblad XCD body. The integrated central shutter provides silent operation and full flash sync at all shutter speeds. Weather-sealed. Compatible with the X1D II 50C, X2D 100C, and 907X & CFV 100C.

GearFrame's Take

The lightest wide-angle prime in the XCD system — a 24mm equivalent that pairs the portability of a compact prime with genuine medium format optical quality.
