Description — Hasselblad 90mm f/3.2
The Hasselblad XCD 90mm f/3.2 is a prime lens built for the medium format Hasselblad X System, mounting via the Hasselblad X lens mount. With a fixed 90mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/3.2, it sits in the telephoto range and offers a consistent perspective well-suited to deliberate, composed shooting styles. Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, providing operational flexibility across different shooting scenarios.
The 67mm filter thread makes it straightforward to attach polarizers, ND filters, or other standard circular filters. At 619g, the lens strikes a workable balance between build quality and portability within the medium format segment. There is no image stabilization built into the lens, so exposure technique and shutter speed management become particularly important when shooting handheld.
This is a lens purpose-built for Hasselblad X System users who want a dedicated 90mm prime with autofocus capability in the medium format space.
