This shootout pits the Hasselblad X2D + Hasselblad XCD 55mm f/2.5 V prime lens against the Fujifilm GFX100S + Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom.

How does a $999 zoom lens compete against a fast $3699 prime lens? As it turns out, this is no simple “better or not” question—each lens outperforms the other in notable and important ways.
