Description — Hasselblad 28mm f/4 P
The Hasselblad XCD 28mm f/4 P is a wide-angle prime lens built for the Hasselblad X mount and designed specifically for medium format photography. Its 28mm focal length places it firmly in wide-angle territory, making it a strong candidate for landscape, architectural, and environmental shooting. The f/4 maximum aperture provides a solid starting point for exposure control across various lighting conditions.
At just 245g, this lens is impressively light for a medium format optic, reducing fatigue during extended use. A 72mm filter thread means photographers can easily attach polarizers, ND filters, or other standard circular filters. Autofocus is fully supported, ensuring quick and reliable focus acquisition without manual intervention. The lens carries no image stabilization, so steady technique or adequate shutter speeds are important considerations.
For photographers shooting with the Hasselblad X system who need a dedicated wide-angle prime, the XCD 28mm f/4 P offers a purposeful, lightweight option within the XCD lineup.
