Hasselblad XCD 28mm f/4 P

I think I’ll take up the Hasselblad X2D-100C later this spring, along with the 28/4P and 45/4P. X2D firmware has lots of fixes and the new focus stacking support too.

...

I share my thoughts on the applicability of the 28/4P vs the Hasselblad XCD 30mm f/3.5 for landscape photography on the 28/4P MTF page.

The Hasselblad XCD 28mm f/4 P is equivalent to a 23mm f/3.3 as compared to a 35mm full frame camera (long dimension of frame).

Due to ship in May 2024.

• Hasselblad X System
• Aperture Range: f/4 to f/32
• Central Lens Shutter, 1/2000 Sec Sync
• Minimum Focus Distance: 1.3'
• Internal Focusing with MF Override
• Front Filter Thread: 77mm

The exceptionally low price (among XCD lenses) along its diminutive size make it an interesting option.

Manufacturer’s description

The XCD 28mm f/4 P Lens from Hasselblad is the lightest and smallest of the Hasselblad X System lenses and has been optically designed for outstanding image quality and precise focusing technology for instant shots.

Capturing a classic concerto of light and shadow begins with the lens. The XCD 28mm f/4 P adopts an optical structure of nine elements in eight groups, including two aspherical elements and one ED element, which ensures excellent imaging while effectively suppressing chromatic dispersion. This wide-angle lens has a 22mm full-frame equivalent focal length and an f/4 aperture that makes it easy to capture nature, street culture, and urban architecture.

With a thoughtfully crafted design, the lens has a compact size and a powerful performance to meet the resolution requirements of 100 million pixels. The lens yields sharp images with precision and high resolution from the center to the edges, achieving stunning image quality across the entire image area. It offers a 3.5" minimum focusing distance and 1:6 magnification ratio, rich close-ups of flowers, cuisine, and much more are effortlessly captured.

A linear stepping motor is combined with a lighter, smaller focusing lens group in this compact lens. When used with the PDAF technology of the X2D 100C, the lens can quickly reach the focusing position and achieve a precise stop. This results in fast, accurate, and responsive focusing, so your scene is captured before the click of the shutter. Full-time manual focus override is also available.

A compact yet powerful leaf shutter supports shooting with flash synchronization at all shutter speeds and with a maximum flash synch speed of up to 1/4000s. Shoot with flash in strong sunlight to capture dynamic subject juxtaposition, highlighting your subject while darkening the background.
