Exceptional Optical Design
The 'XCD 3,2-4,5/20-35E' features a lens configuration of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lenses, meeting the high-resolution requirements of a 100-megapixel sensor. It provides high-quality images at all focal lengths, delivering sharp image quality from center to edge.
Its optical performance shines in various scenes, from landscapes and cityscapes to expansive interiors and environmental portraits.
Flexible Focus and Operability
This lens allows precise and quiet focus control through a combination of a stepping motor, a focus drive gearbox, and a compact, lightweight focus lens group.
Both autofocus and manual focus operations are smooth, and when used with Hasselblad's 100-megapixel mirrorless medium format camera's PDAF technology, focus speed and responsiveness are enhanced.
