Covering a useful wide-angle to short-telephoto range, the XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 from Hasselblad is a 28-58mm-equivalent zoom designed for X-series mirrorless medium format cameras.

The useful zoom range is complemented by an overall compact, lightweight design that makes this lens especially suitable for travel applications. Its optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements, which help to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to achieve a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering. Like other XCD lenses, the 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 has an integrated Central Lens Shutter that is capable of shutter speeds up to 1/2000 sec with flash sync at all speeds, and its autofocus system, which uses an internal focusing design, can be manually overridden for fine-tuned focusing control.
