Title: Hassy X1D lenses
Post by: KevinA on September 30, 2016, 05:56:38 am: I'm probably being completely thick, but where can I find details on the lens range designed for this camera? Which lenses are planned and which which ones will be available first.I've tried the Hasselblad website, buggered if I can find anything.

Or I just get this and no mention of what they may be :-
New Lens Range

To enhance the entirely new camera design we have produced a new range of autofocus lenses specifically engineered to match the high resolution capability of the X1D. The superb new XCD lenses deliver edge-to-edge sharpness in a compact form to elegantly match the slim build of the body. Existing H System users also have the flexibility to use their lenses with the X1D by means of an optional adapter.

Each article is followed by a host of reader comments and questions, which he has additionally addressed. Ming is now a Hasselblad 'ambassador', so his writings may be biased, but informative nonetheless.

The lenses, by the way, are manufactured by Nittoh, the same company involved with the XPan lenses, which coincidentally were also a 30, 45 and 90. The X1D 45 and 90 were both available for June demos around the US; the 30 was formally announced at Photokina as expected.

The Hasselblad CEO has indicated that there will be more primes as well as zooms, despite rumors to the contrary.
