A new and rapid interpretation of the conventional zoom, the Hasselblad XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E serves as a 28-76mm-equivalent lens designed for the mirrorless medium format X system. Spanning wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives, and boasting a luminous f/2.8-4 maximum aperture range, this zoom lens is perfectly suited as a singular option for daily photography and engaging with subjects that vary from expansive landscapes to environmental portraits. Everyday Flexible Focal Length This lens boasts a versatile zoom range, making it perfect for capturing a wide array of subjects, including landscapes, urban scenes, and portraits. Furthermore, its bright f/2.8-4 maximum aperture range provides excellent control over depth of field, making it well-suited for low-light photography. The optical construction features three aspherical elements along with five low-dispersion glass elements, which work together to minimize distortion and color fringing, thereby ensuring exceptional sharpness and precise rendering that meets the requirements of 100MP medium format sensors. Fast and Intuitive Operation An enhanced focusing system employs a stepping motor alongside a compact, lightweight focusing group to achieve rapid and responsive autofocus capabilities. This internal focusing architecture also enhances manual focus functionality, resulting in smoother and more predictable handling. It is well-suited for the X2D II's improved AF-C mode, providing swift and continuous autofocus performance that aids in tracking and capturing moving subjects. Additionally, a small yet powerful leaf shutter system provides a variety of shutter speeds ranging from 1/4000 sec to 68 min, with the possibility of flash synchronization at all speeds. Elegant and Reliable Design The streamlined metal lens barrel is equipped with dedicated focus and zoom rings, as well as an assignable control ring. This control ring can be configured to adjust shutter speed, aperture settings, ISO, EV, or even the subject type when utilized with the X2D II's subject detection mode. The rings are adorned with the 'H' logo to enhance tactile feedback, and the lens also showcases a 'Hasselblad V' insignia nameplate. Additionally, the name of the lens is engraved on the top of the barrel. In spite of providing a longer zoom range and a faster maximum aperture, this 35-100mm f/2.8-4 lens is 19% lighter and 10% shorter than the 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens. It weighs 2 lb and has a length of 5.4 inches, in contrast to the older lens, which weighs 2.5 lb and measures 5.7 inches in length.
