The Hasselblad XCD 4/28P is the smallest and lightest X System lens with a lens diameter of φ75mm and a total length of 43.5mm. The lens has a completely cylindrical form with only a focus ring on the lens barrel, and has a minimalist design without a nameplate like the expensive V-line XCD lenses, making it a simple photographic tool. The focal length of 28mm is equivalent to 22.4mm in 35mm format. The resolution of the captured image fully demonstrates the advantages of the 100 million pixel X2D, and when shooting distant scenes, the full flat depiction unique to wide-angle lenses is achieved, and when shooting close-ups, the image becomes blurred to a certain extent, so it has the depth to control the subject distance and create the expression you like. The lens shutter has a high shutter speed of 1/4000, and when combined with the maximum aperture of F4, you will never feel a lack of shutter speed. The autofocus focusing speed feels faster than the XCD 45P, and the focus accuracy is largely dependent on the camera. However, as long as I use it with the X2D-100C, I have no complaints. The shutter sound is quieter than the XCD 4/45P, which was the quietest lens until I used this lens, and it is hardly noticeable even when used indoors, and it feels silent outdoors. The images output via the Phocus development software have a natural bokeh and a sense of three-dimensionality, making it a very well-made lens. The backlight resistance is also decent, and there is no major breakdown in the image even without the hood. This lens is designed to be used with a 44x33mm digital sensor, and the MTF chart shows that the lens itself has a distortion of about -2%, so the image seems to be distorted to a certain extent. However, the distortion and lack of peripheral light are corrected when developing with Phocus. Since the correction uses genuine dedicated parameters, there is nothing noticeable in the corrected image. This lens was released almost a year after the release of the X2D, and it is the fourth XCD lens I have personally purchased. This lens was announced at a time when I was looking for a compact wide-angle lens, and it met my needs perfectly, so I pre-ordered and purchased it as soon as it was announced. It’s a lens that has it all: lightweight, compact, and has good image quality, so it’s become the standard lens for the X2D-100C, and I take it with me when I don’t know what lens to take with me. It was released after the X2D-100C, but you’ll probably get the same usability when attached to the X1D-50C, X1DII-50C, or X907.
3.Summary
In conclusion, to sum up Hasselblad XCD 4/28P, it has a wide focal length of 23mm in 35mm format, is lightweight at 1kg when combined with the X2D, has a quiet shutter, and is a versatile lens for both landscapes and snapshots.
Hasselblad will release lenses with focal lengths close to the XCD 4/28P in 2024, such as the XCD 25V, a lens wider than 28mm, and the XCD 20-35E, a wide-angle zoom lens. However, the appeal of the XCD 4/28P, the lightest and most compact of the Hasselblad X system, remains undiminished. It is the first lens to consider when purchasing an X series camera.
Specifications and lens comparison
The Hasselblad XCD 4/28P is smaller and lighter than the previous smallest and lightest lens, the XCD 4/45mmP.
The lens costs about $2,800 new, which is a reasonable price for a lens with a shutter mechanism that has a maximum speed of 1/4000, just like other fast XCD lenses.
