The Hasselblad XCD 28mm f/4 P Lens stands as Hasselblad's most lightweight and compact lens within the X System lineup. It boasts impeccable optical engineering to deliver exceptional image quality and swift, precise focusing, ideal for capturing spontaneous moments.
Embarking on a journey to capture the interplay of light and shadow through a lens, the XCD 28mm f/4 P employs an optical configuration of nine elements divided into eight groups. This arrangement incorporates two aspherical elements and an ED element, effectively minimizing chromatic aberration while ensuring superb imaging. With a 22mm full-frame equivalent focal length and an f/4 aperture, this wide-angle lens is perfectly suited for seizing scenes from the natural world, street scenes, and urban architecture.
Meticulously designed, this lens offers both compact dimensions and formidable performance, catering to the demands of 100-million-pixel resolution. It produces sharp, high-resolution images that retain their precision and clarity from the center to the edges, yielding remarkable image quality across the entire frame. The lens permits close-up photography with a 3.5" minimum focusing distance and a 1:6 magnification ratio, effortlessly capturing intricate details of flowers, culinary delights, and more.
Within this compact lens, a linear stepping motor collaborates with a reduced, lightweight focusing lens group. When paired with the X2D 100C's PDAF technology, the lens swiftly attains accurate focus, allowing for quick and precise adjustments. This results in rapid, dependable, and responsive focusing, ensuring your scene is encapsulated in an instant, even before the shutter release. Additionally, the lens offers full-time manual focus override for added control.
Enhancing its versatility, the lens incorporates a compact yet potent leaf shutter, enabling flash synchronization at all shutter speeds. Notably, it achieves a maximum flash sync speed of 1/4000s, enabling flash usage even in bright sunlight. This capability facilitates capturing subjects with dynamic contrasts against a darkened background, thereby accentuating the subject of focus.
