Hasselblad XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 35-75mm
Delivering prime-level sharpness across its 35-75mm zoom range, this lens uses a 15-element optical design with an aspherical element to maintain edge-to-edge clarity on medium-format sensors. Its internal focusing mechanism keeps the 1110g weight manageable and enables a central leaf shutter with flash sync up to 1/2000s, while the robust build suits demanding field work. This lens is best for landscape and travel photographers using Hasselblad X1D cameras who need to minimize kit without sacrificing resolution.
