Among the widest lenses available for the Hasselblad X system, the XCD 20-35mm f/3.2-4.5 E is an ultra-wide zoom offering a powerful field of view well-suited to landscape, cityscape, and architectural subjects. Equivalent to a 16-27mm zoom on full-frame, this lens is balanced by a relatively bright f/3.2-4.5 maximum aperture range, high-performance autofocus, and a leaf shutter for flash sync at all shutter speeds. - Immense Field of View: Featuring a truly broad zoom range, this lens is ideal for photographing natural landscapes, expansive cityscapes, and vast interior spaces. The optical design includes a trio of aspherical elements, too, that reduce distortion and ensure high sharpness and accurate rendering to match the demands of 100MP medium format sensors. -- Fast and Intuitive Operation: An upgraded focus system utilizes both a stepping motor and a small, lightweight focusing group to realize fast and responsive autofocus performance. This internal focusing design also benefits manual focus operation for smoother, more predictable handling. -- A small-but-powerful leaf shutter system offers a range of shutter speeds from 1/2000 sec to 68 min with flash sync possible at all speeds. -- Elegant and Reliable Design: Streamlined metal lens barrel includes dual control rings to adjust both focus and zoom; the rings are engraved with the 'H' logo for improved feel. The lens also features a 'Hasselblad V' insignia nameplate and the lens's name is engraved on top of the barrel.
