Hasselblad XCD 135mm f/2.8 with X Converter 1.7x Overview
Perfect for portrait and landscape photography, the Hasselblad XCD 135mm f/2.8 Lens with X Converter 1.7x is a short telephoto prime designed for the X-series medium format mirrorless cameras. On its own, the lens provides a 107mm full-frame equivalent focal length, ideal for flattering portraits and compressed perspectives. When paired with the included 1.7x teleconverter, the focal length extends to 178mm equivalent, allowing for even tighter framing and greater subject isolation.
The lens features a minimum focusing distance of 3.3 ft, making it well-suited for close-up work, while its advanced optical construction ensures excellent sharpness and clarity across the frame. Like all XCD lenses, it includes an integrated Central Lens Shutter capable of shutter speeds up to 1/2000 sec, with flash sync available at all speeds. The internal autofocus system delivers smooth, accurate performance, and manual focus override is available for fine-tuned control. A 75mm Tripod Mount Ring is also included for added stability during tripod-based shooting with the lens and converter combination.
