Overview

The Hasselblad XCD 45mm f/3.5 is a moderate wide-angle prime for the X1D, offering a 35mm-equivalent field of view. Its build is superb: all-metal, dust/moisture resistant, with a smooth manual focus ring. Optically, it draws like a normal lens but with a wider perspective, favored for its rendering. Weaknesses include noisy and slow autofocus. It suits photographers who prefer a slightly wider normal lens and value robust construction.
