hasselblad xcd 90mm f/2. 5 v (mkii)

the hasselblad xcd 90mm f/2.5mkii v lens is a bright, portrait-length prime built for medium format excellence. equivalent to 71mm on full-frame, it delivers the flattering compression and subject separation that portrait and still life photographers demand. the f/2.5maximum aperture produces beautifully smooth bokeh that draws the eye straight to your subject, while stopping down reveals hasselblad’s signature eight-point starburst on bright light sources a hallmark of the leaf shutter design. at just 551g, it’s 11% lighter than its predecessor, making it a compelling upgrade for photographers who want flagship optical performance without the bulk.

precision optics, outstanding imagery

nine elements in six groups including one ed element and one large-diameter aspherical element form an apochromatic optical design that delivers accurate colour correction and exceptional sharpness across the frame. hasselblad engineers select high-quality glass and grind each element to meet the resolution demands of 100mp medium format sensors. the result is a lens that captures the most subtle nuances of light, shadow, and colour with confidence.

fast, light, and accurate autofocus

the redesigned focusing module pairs a linear stepping motor with a lighter, smaller focusing group to eliminate backlash and achieve fast, precise stops. combined with the phase-detection autofocus (pdaf) technology of the x2d 100c, the lens locks focus quickly and holds it accurately whether you’re tracking a subject or fine-tuning manually via the intuitive push-pull focus ring.

upgraded leaf shutter

the xcd 2,5/90v features an upgraded large-aperture leaf shutter that is smaller and quieter than its predecessor, yet maintains the same precision performance. it reaches up to 1/4000sec the fastest sync speed among medium format lenses with full flash synchronisation available at every shutter speed. ideal for controlled studio work and bright outdoor conditions alike.

elegant industrial design

precision-machined from metal, the xcd 2,5/90v carries two engraved rings a focus ring and a newly added customisable control ring each bearing the hasselblad h logo, crafted with a 0.3mm drill bit in a nod to the iconic hc/hcd lens aesthetic. the control ring can be assigned to your preferred function for quick, distraction-free access while shooting. compatible with both x-system and 907x cameras, this lens is a refined homage to hasselblads heritage and a bold statement in its own right.
