LEICA S with HCD35-90
Review of using the HASSELBLAD HCD 35-90mm with the LEICA S typ 007.
The details of the HASSELBLAD HCD35-90mm (hereafter referred to as HC3590) are detailed in the link. In the link, the X2D-100C is used as the camera body, but the lens owned is the latest lens with orange dot, so it can be used with the HASSELBLAD X camera with autofocus.
When the HCD3590 is attached to the LEICA S via the LEICA S adapter H, it can shoot with autofocus with the HASSELBLAD X camera as well as the HASSELBLAD H camera.
The focal length of the standard zoom lens, equivalent to 28mm-72mm, is very versatile and can be used in most situations.
With the HASSELBLAD X camera, the focal length range of 24mm to 58mm can be used with the XH-Converter, making it even more powerful at the wide-angle end. As a medium zoom lens, the lens is large (L167mm D102.5mm) for a 2.5x zoom range, but as you can see in the lens construction diagram below, the inner focus system, which focuses in the middle and rear groups, does not change the total length of the lens when the focal length shifts, so it can be used at any focal length. This means that the lens can be handled in the same way at any focal length, making it easy to use.
The camera weighs 1.3 kg, the lens weighs 1.4 kg, and the LEICA H adapter C weighs 0.3 kg, for a total weight of 3.0 kg.
