Description — Hasselblad 135mm f/2.8
The Hasselblad XCD 135mm f/2.8 is a prime telephoto lens built for the Hasselblad X mount and the medium format camera system. With a fixed 135mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it offers solid light-gathering performance and is well-positioned for portrait and telephoto subject work. Autofocus is fully supported, giving X System shooters the ability to use this prime without sacrificing speed in the field. The lens accepts 77mm filters, making it straightforward to integrate into an existing filter workflow.
Weighing in at 935g, it has a solid, substantial feel appropriate for medium format optics. One consideration for buyers is the absence of image stabilization, rated as None, so technique and shutter speed management are important when shooting handheld. As a dedicated Hasselblad X mount lens in the telephoto prime category, it is designed to deliver consistent results within the X System ecosystem.
