THREE NEW XCD LENSES LAUNCHING FOR THE X1D
XCD 1,9/80
As Hasselblad's fastest lens ever, the XCD 1,9/80 features the largest aperture of any Hasselblad lens at f/1,9. With unique twin AF motors and outstanding optical design, it is especially suitable for portrait, nature, and product photography with its ability to produce pleasing bokeh through excellent subject isolation with a shallow depth-of-field.
XCD 2,8/65
The XCD 2,8/65 is the ideal standard lens in any X System photographer’s kit. With a 50mm full frame equivalency, it’s designed to achieve the ‘normal’ focal length and mimic the human field of view. Thanks to its f/2,8 maximum aperture and 0.5 m (20 in.) minimum focus distance, the XCD 65mm is the versatile option for street, travel, and general photography.
XCD 2,8/135 and X Converter 1,7
The XCD 2,8/135 is a short telephoto lens providing a 135mm focal length. It compares to a 105mm full frame lens, making it perfect for portrait or landscape photography. The XCD 135mm features a 1 m close distance setting (1:5.8 and 1:3.4 image scale) and an aperture range between 2,8 and 32. When paired with the dedicated X Converter 1,7, the lens’ focal length grows to 230mm, providing a 178mm full frame equivalency and an aperture range of 4,8-32.
The XCD 80mm, XCD 65mm and the XCD 135mm lenses are available for
pre-order and will begin shipping in December 2018.

Love the new lenses especially the 80/1.9, but that gives us:
21mm
30mm
45mm
65mm
80mm
90mm
120mm Macro
135mm
1.7x tele
8 X primes, while the H lens line is 9 prime focal lengths and 2 zooms.
Really wish one of the lenses was a zoom. Walking around with a X1D and the 35-90 really doesn't sound fun.

I would be missing a lens closer to 200. But that’s just me. It’s great the lens line up is coming along.

I went ahead and ordered the 65mm. Hope it ships when they say! Wish I could’ve ordered the 80mm as well. Was really hoping to see the 35-75mm zoom materialize but excited for the new lenses.
