The fastest prime in the Hasselblad X-system — the XCD 65mm f/2.8 delivers a 51mm full-frame equivalent field of view with the widest maximum aperture available in the XCD native lens range. At f/2.8 on the large 44×33mm sensor it produces subject separation and a depth-of-field character that no full-frame system prime at equivalent settings can match. The integrated central shutter enables flash sync at all shutter speeds — invaluable for portrait work with off-camera flash. Weather-sealed. Compatible with all Hasselblad XCD cameras.
The definitive portrait prime for the X-system — f/2.8 on a 44×33mm sensor at 51mm equivalent produces a subject separation and rendering no full-frame prime can replicate.
