The Hasselblad XCD 20-35E is a brand new lens for the new "Exclusive" line of optics. This is also the first wide-angle zoom from Hasselblad ideal for landscape and architectural photography. Is it worth the $5929 price tag? It is certainly a high end lens. It features an entirely internal zoom and focusing system. The lens features 16 elements in 12 groups with 3 Aspherical elements and 4 ED elements. It weighs in at 805 grams which is actually not as big as I expected. It's well balanced on the Hasselblad X2D and provides high resolution at all focal lengths. This is truly a modern and impressive zoom lens.

Yes, we all love Hugh's hair!
And here I thought the v-series lenses were to be the top of the line for the X cameras.
Oh my... the resulting pictures are awesome ! Great lens for sure.
An interesting review - as you infer, Hasselblad have 'cracked' the wide angle aspect with their V lenses on the X system. What would be great would be a prime V lens int the 120-140mm space. Many thanks.
Just love your videos. Excellent presentation and love how you show us example pics. you know your stuff and have a way of making us feel guilty for NOT owning this camera. I am saving for it but keep putting out Hassie videos.
Hey from PA! I can't afford most of what you review, but it is grand watching and knowing what is out there. Been watching for many years, love your videos... Thank you!
Are you suggesting that this lens is outperforming its prime counterparts or is it more just the impressive feat of getting prime quality out of a zoom?
Thanks again for a perfect review. I’m not usually a fan of zoom lenses. I’m a landscape photographer and this lens interests me. When I acquired the 25V I kept the 21. My dealer notified me this morning that I’m on the list.
Decades ago, I was dumbfounded by the resolution on the 80mm prime on my 500C. This lens has to be better than the older lenes.
👉🏻 Can’t wait for another P series lens, a 65mm Portable pancake f4 lens would be amazing to have with the 28p 🫶🏻 I have the 65 and the 28, I wish to have two option : ultra portable and fast and another one for the studio and pre-meditated shooting.
Thank You . . Very nice presentation !
Matched withe the X2D, this may be the perfect carry setup!
Impressive looking 🤓👍
This looks amazing. That said I just bought the 25V, which is faster and better suits my low light work. More importanty, when I shot Canon's amazing 16-35 I shot everything at 16mm. Ruined the whole point of a zoom.
Does the body still have the lag time after an exposure?
Should I buy the 25mm or the zoom if I already own the 38 XCD V
I want one of everything! First, the lottery…
Thanks - no switchable manual / auto focus ring like others in the V series. This is a drawback for this £6000 lens.
E for exclusive… E for excellence… which one is it.
Yes, you can´t make anything wrong when you own a 25 V and a 38 V. But is the 20-35 E a replacement for the two?
What are your thoughts on Hasselblad not including the manual focus clutch like the V series lenses? I find it to be very convenient to use on my XCD 25V particularly with the hyperfocal distance scale. With the "Exclusive" line being the top of the line series, I would expect all the bells and whistles.
It’s probably not possible on a non-push/pull zoom lens.
@@theartofphotography That makes sense.
take it to Mars
I owned a 907X 50C and own an X1D2. They're overshooting on these prices even for MF folks IMO. $6000 for this lens alone or $6900 for a GF 20-35 *and a GFX 100S*?
Hmm this vs existing cluster of wide primes from hassy. How would you use or trade off this vs the 25/38 v. Holding out for an update of their std zoom . Would be interesting if when they produce something like at 38-65mm zoom
i htink if they can do a 20mm zoom they can do a 20mm f2.8 prime !
Hugh with a sony?
Did you happen to test flare and sun star performance?
and here I am still wanting an M3.... ;-)
I have mine going to Etsy for $2000. CLA by YYE
It looks great, but there is something I don’t like about the rendering. Could it be over saturated in color?
Do you have the lens? Have you seen a print from the lens? How can you judge IQ? Comparison to Fujifilm is irrelevant, if a person is in Hasselblad system they don't care what the fujifilm does and visa Vera.
I'm buying the lens. I love WA, and it will be perfect for my X2D.
Not in stock in the US
a real beauty of a zoom lens and the price?
$6K US - also £6K UK ???
Too rich for my budget but my fantasy system just got better combing the 903x with this lens for the ultimate digital SWC.
Wii they make a family of zoom lens ?
How sharp is too sharp
GAS : what we live for ?
Sweet camera and lens, commissioning around $13,000 USD. As others point out, you can get the same resolution and quality with other body snd lens pairs for much less.
But, like the Leica fanboys, if you're into Hasselblad this combo is pretty nice.
Sounds like a lot of words that did nothing to more a conversation forward
Looks a little slow. I use my wide angle lenses for Astro Photography so this would not work. I use the Nikon 14-24 S on a Z8 that works well for Astro.
6700 eur for the lens...oh my...
Try leica 😂
nah the next question I wanted answered was.... what is the equivalent aperture(s)?
You multiply x0.8 for both the focal length and aperture.
@@fotografalexandernikolis were the apertures ever listed / said tho? lol
@@northofbrandon Easy to look up online. You could just follow the link in the video description... f/3.2-4.5 so f/2.56-3.6 FF equivalent
@@fotografalexandernikolis when I watch a lens review, I usually want the core features/aspects of the lens. This is constructive criticism. Have a good one.
I think, lowering the status of the other lenses by calling this an "E-lens" is bad marketing. Does anybody remember Nikon's E-series lenses? Or Hasselblad's CB-series?
😂🎉😂🎉
I feel like Hasselblad gets a pass where other manufacturers would get highly criticized. This is a variable aperture lens for over $5K. Imagine if Sony produced a GM lens at 16mm - 28mm F2.8 - F4.0, the headlines would be brutal. I am not denying that this is a great lens, just commenting that we don't hold premium cameras to the same standards.
These lenses also include leaf shutters, and variable aperture really doesn't matter for landscapes and architecture which this lens is made for. For context the Hasselblad cameras can't even shoot video at all, which would otherwise be a case where variable aperture is bothersome. It's less about not holding them to a high standard and more about them just being made for completely different use cases.
Medium format cameras are a whole different ball game I have a Hasselblad x2d and a z8 and you can’t really compare lol so why compare just use what works for you
Spending all this coin. Want something faster for Astro p’ease
These cameras just aren’t good for Astro anyway. Get a full frame. F1.4 lenses available for that and blow the doors off the Hasselblad in that regard..
@@jharrelphoto I am not so sure about that. There is only limited information regarding the usefulness of MF cameras in MW photography. Without doubt, the pixel pitch on the X2d and the GFX 100Sii is less that it is on, say, a Canon R5 (3.5 vs 4.3) but that does not write them off as astro cameras. Both canon and Nikon have wide zooms FF with 2l8 max aperture, and Hasselblad of course has the 25 2.5. I have not yet had an opportunity to try this sort of combination before writing off MF cameras as 'just aren't good for astro'. Have you tried them personally ?
@@mcelliot personally I have not tried one for Astro. I have seen the results though and they are just ok. If you use a star tracker then it looks good. But for single exposure milkyway full frame can’t be beat because of the wide aperture lenses. Trust me I’m not hating medium format I would love to be able to go backpacking with an x2d and the 25mm if I were to know the results would equal my Sony a7cr. But it won’t.
I’ve been using a GFX100sii for a couple months now and LOVE the medium format. I only wish I could afford the Haselblad…
