Hasselblad XCD 90mm f/3.2

The short telephoto portrait prime for the Hasselblad X-system — the XCD 90mm f/3.2 delivers a 71mm full-frame equivalent field of view with the compressed perspective and subject isolation that a short telephoto prime provides on medium format. It is one of the original XCD launch lenses and remains among the most optically refined primes in the system. The integrated central shutter enables full flash sync at all shutter speeds. Weather-sealed. Compatible with all Hasselblad XCD cameras.

GearFrame's Take

The classic portrait telephoto for the X-system — 71mm equivalent compression on a 44×33mm sensor produces a tonal and spatial rendering unique to medium format.
