Designed for use with the X-System medium format mirrorless cameras, the bright and fast Hasselblad XCD 80mm f/1.9 lens features a slightly-longer-than-normal equivalent focal length of 63mm that is well-suited for portraiture. The bright f/19 maximum aperture of the lens is coupled with minimum focusing distance of 70cm for employing shallow depth of field technique to isolate subject matter. The optical design features 14 elements in 9 groups to deliver sharp and clear imagery. As is with the other XCD lenses, the physical design of the 80mm f/1.9 incorporates a Central Lens Shutter which generates very minimal vibration for sharper handheld shooting. Moreover, the shutter provides an exposure time range of 60mins to 1/2000 sec, with flash sync available at all speeds, thus affording you with the freedom to creatively mix the use of daylight and flash. For added flexibility, its internal autofocus can be switched to manual mode for precise focusing control.
