Hasselblad XCD 38mm f/2.5

Hasselblad XCD 38 mm f/2.5

The Hasselblad XCD 38 mm f/2.5 is a wide-angle lens and perfect for use in documentary, street or landscape photography. This wide-angle lens allows you to include more environmental detail in your portrait shots, or take advantage of the large aperture of f/2.5 to really isolate your subject from your background. The minimum focusing distance of 30 centimetres also makes this lens perfect for capturing stationary subjects, like in product, or food photography.

Thanks to its compact optical design, small and lightweight focusing module and optimised aperture blades, the Hasselblad XCD 38 mm f/2.5 weighs only 350 grams, yet delivers top performance.

Precise optics, extraordinary images

The XCD 38 mm f/2.5 lens features 10 elements in 9 groups, including 3 aspherical elements and 3 ED elements. Thanks to the well-thought-out arrangement, the lens not only has a compact size, but light transmission is improved and chromatic aberration is better suppressed.

New Focusing Module: Fast, Light and Accurate

The updated focusing module uses a linear stepper motor and a lighter, faster lens group. These improvements ensure the lens group has no more play and, in combination with the PDAF technology of the Hasselblad X2D 100c, the lens group can quickly reach the focus position. As a result, you enjoy fast, flexible and highly accurate focusing.

Smaller shutter, powerful and professional assistance

The shutter is a powerful part of Hasselblad's medium format system. The XCD 38 mm f/2.5 features an improved shutter that, despite being smaller, delivers the same precision as its predecessors. With this shutter, you enjoy shutter speeds up to 1/2000s and flash sync at all speeds.

Convenient, intuitive operation

The XCD 38 mm f/2.5 is precision engineered to provide the best experience and minimise distractions. The tactile mechanism of the focus and control rings are precisely tuned for a smooth and fine experience. You switch easily between AF and MF modes through the simple push-and-pull mechanism of the focus ring, and the control ring can be adjusted for quick access to the functions you like to use. This makes the process even more efficient.
