    20–35mm · f/3.2–4.5

    Overview

    The Hasselblad XCD 20-35mm F3.2-4.5 E is a premium ultra-wide zoom with excellent sharpness, low distortion, and strong flare resistance. However, it suffers from extreme vignetting at 20mm and lacks handling controls like an AF/MF switch. Build quality is high with a metal body, but autofocus is loud and occasionally sticks. The leaf shutter enables handheld shots at slow speeds. It suits landscape and studio photographers invested in the Hasselblad system who need the widest zoom, despite its high price and optical compromises.
