Hasselblad XCD 45mm f/3.5

Name: XCD 45mm f/3.5
Brand: Hasselblad
Availability: InStock

The most popular prime in the Hasselblad X-system — the XCD 45mm f/3.5 delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and is the closest the XCD range has to a natural standard prime. It was one of the original launch lenses for the X1D and remains the most recommended starting point for new XCD system owners. The integrated central shutter allows silent operation and flash sync at all shutter speeds. The lightest prime in the core XCD range. Weather-sealed and compatible with all Hasselblad XCD cameras.

GearFrame's Take

The natural starting point for XCD system owners — the most compact and accessible XCD prime delivers a 35mm equivalent with outstanding medium format rendering.
