How to choose an XCD lens
Start with the subject. Wide focal lengths such as the Hasselblad XCD 30mm f/3.5 Lens and the XCD 38mm f/2.5 V suit landscapes, architecture and interiors. Standard lengths like the XCD 45mm f/3.5, XCD 55mm f/2.5 V and XCD 65mm f/2.8 are good all-round choices for travel and documentary work.
For portraits, look at longer focal lengths: the XCD 75mm f/3.4 P, the Hasselblad XCD 90mm f/2.5 V Lens, the Xcd 80mm f/1.9 and the XCD 135mm f/2.8. A wider maximum aperture gives you more background separation and helps in dim light, while a smaller, lighter lens such as the Hasselblad XCD 45mm f/4 P Lens is easier to carry all day.
- Zoom: the XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 covers several focal lengths in one lens.
- Close-up: the Hasselblad X Extension Tube (9mm) lets you focus closer.
- Weight and budget: compare each lens's size and price before deciding.
Mount and compatibility
These lenses carry the XCD name, so they are made for the XCD mount. Check that your camera body uses it before ordering. The 135mm listing mentions the X1D and the X Converter 1.7; for any other pairing, confirm with your model. If you also use older lenses, see Hasselblad H, or the XCD 2,8-4/35-100E page.
