This page presents evaluates the Hasselblad XCD 21mm f/4 from f/4 to f/11, with particular attention to a bifurcated focus shift in central vs outer areas of the frame, a behavior which is essential to understand for making captures with optimal total sharpness.
UPDATE Jan 2024: firmware 1.1.1 or later offers a stopped-down focusing feature.
