Hasselblad X2D 100C + 55mm f2.5

Hasselblad X2D + 55mm

Following the resounding success of the X1D-50c and its upgrade with the X1D II 50C, the powerful new X2D 100C Hasselblad introduced, along with three new XCD series lenses, the XCD 2.5/38V, XCD 2.5/55V and XCD 2.5/90V that offer an unrivalled experience for content creators.

Hasselblad's new generation of medium-format mirrorless camera, the X2D 100C, was designed to bring substantial technological innovations to image quality, camera handling and operating system response speed. Designed in a lead-colored machined aluminum body, the X2D 100C features a built-in 100-megapixel back-illuminated (BSI) (43.8 × 32.9mm) CMOS sensor and features a dynamic range of 15 stops with about 16-bit color depth. The X2D 100C enables a creative experience that wasn't available before. It empowers content creators to capture the ins and outs of highlights and shadows, leveraging Natural Colour Solution's (HNCS) Hasselblad colour management.

Handheld photography is possible in a wide variety of conditions thanks to the new 5-axis 7-stop camera body-built stabilization system. Hasselblad has developed its own image stabilizer exclusively for the X2D 100C to meet the specific needs of stabilizing a 100MP sensor. When designing the camera, keeping both weight and size to a minimum was kept in mind for easy portability, which is why the X2D 100C contains the most compact IBIS medium format solution on the market.

The X2D 100C features a 0.5" electronic viewfinder (EVF) with 5.76 mio. pixel display that is capable of 1.00x magnification with a 60fps refresh rate to ensure that the screen looks bright and sharp from corner to corner.

In addition, it has a 1.08" color top screen and a 3.6" and 2.36MP touchscreen and tilting rear screen that allows access to all parameters, while maintaining the Hasselblad user interface (HUI) and the Scandinavian, elegant and simple, original style of the X system. The battery has a CIPA rating of up to 420 shots and supports PD 3.0 fast charging. To all this it is important to mention that the X2D 100C is compatible with Phocus, Hasselblad's free image processing software.

"When we were developing the X2D 100C, our goal has been the same as always, as Victor Hasselblad himself formulated decades ago: 'build a better camera,'" says Bronius Rudnickas, marketing director at Hasselblad. " This commitment leads us to explore how to improve its performance in all aspects"

Features of the Hasselblad 55mm f2.5 Lens

Elegantly designed to match the X1D and X2D camera systems, the Hasselblad XCD 55mm f/2.5V lens is a standard-length 43mm equivalent designed to cover the camera's large 43.8 x 32.9mm sensor area. This lens offers a natural field of view and is well suited for still life, portraits and everyday photographic applications. It also features a minimum focusing distance of 17.7" along with an optical design aimed at maintaining image quality and sharpness throughout the focus range for accurate representation of foreground subjects. Like other XCD lenses, the XCD 55mm f/2.5V has a Lens Shutter that is capable of shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 second with flash sync at all speeds, and its internal autofocus design can be manually overridden for precise manual focus control.
