REFINED ENGINEERING WITH THREE CONTROL RINGS

Crafted from precision-forged metal, the lens body exemplifies Hasselblad's commitment to minimalist design and enduring quality. Despite housing an extensive zoom range and bright aperture design, ingenious engineering maintains a remarkably compact form—just 894g[4] and 133mm[5] in length, making it 19% lighter and 10% shorter than the XCD 3,5-4,5/35-75.

Beyond the zoom and focus rings, XCD 2,8-4/35-100E incorporates the highly praised lens control ring from XCD V Series lenses. Tailor it to your workflow—adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO, EV or subject switch[6] with a simple turn.

The distinctive "H" logo gracing the focus, zoom and control rings harmonises beautifully with the engraved brand mark and prestigious "V" insignia, creating a lens that performs as elegantly as it appears.
