The Hasselblad XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E Lens is a versatile standard zoom lens that bridges wide-angle to medium telephoto focal lengths with flagship E Series optical performance. With a 28-76mm full-frame equivalent range and approximately 3x optical zoom, this single lens handles an extraordinary range of photographic disciplines. From sweeping landscapes and intimate portraits to dynamic street photography and spontaneous travel moments, it delivers edge-to-edge sharpness that meets the demands of 100-megapixel sensors.
The Hasselblad XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E Lens is a versatile standard zoom lens that seamlessly bridges wide-angle to medium telephoto focal lengths. Featuring approximately 3x optical zoom and flagship E Series optical excellence, this single lens masters an extraordinary range of photographic disciplines. From sweeping landscapes and intimate portraits to dynamic street photography and spontaneous travel moments, it delivers with confidence.
The "E" designation stands for "Exclusive" and represents Hasselblad's top-tier optical performance. This lens delivers the same edge-to-edge image quality as Hasselblad's celebrated prime lenses across every focal length and aperture setting. Its advanced optical design comprises 16 elements in 13 groups, incorporating 3 aspherical elements and 5 ED (extra-low dispersion) elements, ensuring sharp resolution and authentic color that meets the demands of medium format sensors.
At the wide end, the f/2.8 maximum aperture provides strong performance in low light conditions while producing smooth bokeh and distinct background separation. The lens transitions to f/4 at the telephoto end, maintaining exceptional optical performance throughout the zoom range. This aperture range, combined with the lens's optical design, effectively combines the capabilities of seven Hasselblad prime lenses into a single versatile zoom.
The XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E features the fastest stepping motor in the current XCD lens lineup. This advanced motor effortlessly drives the compact internal focus group, working with refined algorithms to deliver intuitive, responsive focusing performance. When paired with the X2D II 100C Medium Format Mirrorless Camera's AF-C continuous autofocus capability, the lens transforms into a powerful tool for capturing motion, confidently tracking moving subjects and capturing the decisive moment with exceptional clarity.
The lens is fully compatible with Hasselblad X-system cameras and requires a firmware update to access AF-C (continuous autofocus) functionality on the X2D II 100C. In AF-S (single autofocus) mode, it works with 425 phase-detection autofocus zones spread across the 100-megapixel sensor, supported by LiDAR-assisted focusing for fast, accurate results.
Like all XCD lenses, the XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E incorporates a precision-engineered leaf shutter. This mechanical shutter provides a broad exposure range from 1/4000 second to 68 minutes, allowing for exceptional creative control across lighting conditions. The leaf shutter enables full flash synchronization at every shutter speed, giving photographers the ability to balance fill flash in bright outdoor conditions or work with wide apertures without compromise.
This capability is valuable for portrait photographers who need to control depth of field while using fill flash outdoors, wedding photographers working in mixed lighting conditions, and commercial photographers who require precise lighting control across various shooting scenarios.
Crafted from precision-forged metal, the lens body exemplifies Hasselblad's commitment to minimalist design and lasting quality. Despite housing an extensive zoom range and large aperture design, thoughtful engineering maintains a remarkably compact form. At 894g and 133mm in length, the lens is 19% lighter and 10% shorter than the older XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5, while offering both a longer zoom range and brighter maximum aperture.
Beyond the zoom and focus rings, the XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E incorporates a customizable control ring from the V-series lenses. This ring can be assigned to adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO, EV compensation, or subject detection, adapting to different shooting workflows. The lens uses an externally rotating zoom design, where the lens barrel extends during zooming, allowing for a more compact minimum length when stored.
This lens serves photographers working across multiple genres with Hasselblad X-system cameras. Its focal range and optical performance make it particularly suitable for wedding and event photography, where the ability to move quickly between wide environmental shots and intimate portraits is needed. Travel photographers benefit from the lens's versatility and relatively compact size for medium format, reducing the need to carry multiple prime lenses.
Portrait photographers appreciate the smooth bokeh at f/2.8 and the flexibility to shoot both environmental portraits and tighter headshots without changing lenses. Landscape photographers can use the wide end for expansive scenes and the telephoto end for isolating specific elements within a composition. Street photographers gain the advantage of having multiple focal lengths available for quickly changing scenes while maintaining the image quality medium format provides.
For photographers building a Hasselblad X-system kit or working with medium format cameras, this lens effectively replaces several prime lenses, making it an efficient choice for those prioritizing versatility and optical performance in a single package. Complete your setup with lens cases for protection and filter accessories including the matching 86mm filters.
Yes, the lens is compatible with all Hasselblad X-system cameras including the X1D, X1D II 50C, X2D 100C, and X2D II 100C. However, continuous autofocus (AF-C) functionality is only available on the X2D II 100C after applying the required lens firmware update. Other X-system cameras can use the lens in AF-S (single autofocus) and manual focus modes.
No, the XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E does not feature weather sealing. While the metal construction provides durability, the lens is not designed for use in heavy rain, snow, or dusty environments. Handle with appropriate care in challenging weather conditions.
The lens offers a maximum magnification ratio of approximately 0.25x (1:4) at its minimum focusing distance. While not a dedicated macro lens, this provides solid close-up performance for product photography, still life work, and capturing details within travel and documentary contexts.
Yes, the XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E is compatible with Hasselblad X Extension Tubes, which can be used to reduce the minimum focusing distance and increase magnification for closer focusing capabilities. Extension tubes maintain full electronic communication between lens and camera body.
No, the lens does not include optical image stabilization. However, it works seamlessly with the 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) found in X2D 100C and X2D II 100C cameras. The X2D II 100C provides up to 10 stops of stabilization, allowing for handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds.
The Hasselblad XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4 E Lens combines professional-grade optics, fast autofocus, practical versatility, and refined handling in a lens built for serious medium format photography. Whether you're documenting weddings, exploring landscapes, capturing street scenes, or traveling light with maximum image quality, this lens delivers flagship optical performance across its entire focal range. Samy's Camera provides expert guidance, fast shipping, and a complete selection of lenses and accessories for your Hasselblad X-system.
