See my Hasselblad medium format wish list.

This series assesses overall image quality on a far distance scene with very strong backlighting.

The Hasselblad XCD 120mm f/3.5 is a macro lens, so how does it perform at far distance? High performance near and far is a boon that makes a lens much more versatile.

Hasselblad XCD 120mm f/3.5 Aperture Series: View Over Trees To High Peaks, Rock Creek High Country

Includes images up to full camera resolution at f/3.5, f/5.6, f/8.

All in all this is an outstanding performance to the point of making me feel excited about wanting to shoot the X1D for this very fine image quality. Excellent! I am particularly pleased with how well the X1D files accept sharpening. See my Hasselblad X1D wishlist.
