Elevate not just your portrait and street photography but also the overall allure of your artistic work with the exceptional optical quality offered by Hasselblad's newly released XCD 75mm f3.4 P lens! As a standard lens featuring a 59mm equivalent focal length, it marries powerful performance with a lightweight and agile design, making it a must-have for discerning photographers.
The new Hasselblad XCD 75mm f3.4 P employs an advanced optical structure composed of ten elements in ten groups, which includes one aspherical element and three Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements. This meticulous configuration effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, resulting in a compact yet high-performing lens that meets the resolution demands of a 100-megapixel sensor. Whether you’re focusing on the centre or the edges of the frame, this lens guarantees sharp, clear images with vibrant, lifelike colours. The maximum aperture has been enhanced from f4 to f3.4, allowing for greater detail capture in low-light conditions and producing a more captivating bokeh.
Among the medium format lenses in the XCD P series, the XCD 75mm f3.4 P stands out with the longest focal length and largest aperture. With a 59mm equivalent focal length, it sits comfortably between standard and mid-telephoto lenses, merging the benefits of both categories. This makes it exceptionally suitable for full-length and half-length portraits, street photography, and still life captures. The extended focal length coupled with the f3.4 maximum aperture provides a soft, natural bokeh that enhances the quality of portrait images, adding a touch of professionalism to your shots.
Incorporating a linear stepping motor and a lighter, more compact focusing lens group, the XCD 75mm f3.4 P can quickly and accurately achieve the desired focus position, significantly enhancing focusing accuracy and speed. The lens also features a compact leaf shutter module that operates with minimal vibration and noise, allowing for confident shooting in quiet environments. Furthermore, the leaf shutter offers speeds up to 1/2000 second, making it easier to capture high-speed subjects. It also supports flash synchronization at all speeds, enabling you to use flash to darken the surrounding background and highlight the subject even in bright sunlight, achieving outstanding results.
Adding a distinctive touch of lightness to your shooting experience, the XCD 75mm f3.4 P utilizes multiple innovative lightweight design elements, weighing just 398g and measuring a mere 71mm in length. This makes it an ideal choice for both portrait and street photography. Continuing the new generation design ethos of the XCD P series lenses, the XCD 75mm f3.4 P boasts a sleek metal body, accentuated by Hasselblad’s signature "H" pattern around the focus ring, blending functionality with style.
