Lens Overview — Hasselblad 55mm f/2.5

The Hasselblad XCD 55mm f/2.5 is a prime lens built for the Hasselblad X mount system, designed specifically for medium format cameras. With a 55mm focal length sitting in the standard range, it covers everyday shooting scenarios from portraiture to street photography with a natural perspective. The f/2.5 maximum aperture gives photographers meaningful control over depth of field and low-light performance, especially notable given the medium format sensor size these lenses are paired with.

Autofocus is supported alongside manual focus, giving shooters flexibility depending on the situation. The lens accepts 72mm screw-in filters, a practical consideration for those working with ND or polarizing filters in the field. Weighing in at 372g, it sits on the lighter end for a medium format prime, making it a manageable option for extended handheld shooting sessions.

Image stabilization is not present in this lens, so stabilization relies on the camera body or shooting technique. The XCD 55mm f/2.5 is a strong candidate for photographers entering or expanding within the Hasselblad X ecosystem who need a versatile, fast standard prime lens.
