Posted on by

In addition to the Hasselblad X1D II 50C Medium Format Mirrorless Camera, Hasselblad also announced the new XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 Zoom Lens. The US price is $5,175, and it is now available for pre-order at B&H, Adorama. Shipping is scheduled to start in Mid October, 2019.

With multiple focal lengths in one lens, the XCD 35-75 gives the photographer numerous options in a travel-size package. Carrying less equipment but still having access to various focal choices lets the photographer focus on their shot with quick adjustment rather than needing to change between different lenses.

From Hasselblad:

The XCD 3,5-4,5/35-75 Zoom Lens is the ninth addition to the X System lens range. Delivering the same superb image quality from edge to edge as the XCD prime lenses, this extremely high performance, compact mid-range zoom covers moderate wide angle to short telephoto focal lengths. Its internal focusing keeps the lens’ dimensions constant, delivers quick autofocus and additionally keeps the overall weight down.

Ideal for shooting anything from wide angle landscapes to portrait images, this lens is perfect for photographers who are looking to keep the amount of equipment they carry when travelling to a minimum but don’t want to compromise on image quality. Like the rest of the XCD lens range, the XCD 35-75 features an integral central lens shutter, offering exposure times from 68 minutes to 1/2000s with full flash synchronisation throughout.
