New Hasselblad lens XCD 3,4/75P

It looks like a quite compact lens but I could never get along with 60mm on FF. I loved 75mm equivalents but 90mm XCD is already very close.

I am waiting for a macro lens which is lighter and faster focusing than the discontinued 120mm (anything from 100mm to 150mm would be great), otherwise I am not interested to invest in more from Hasselblad
 
It's fantastic that Hasselblad is coming out with so many lens options.
Hasselblad is now producing three different lens series, to meet individual user requirements, in addition to the original XCD lenses. Viewed within the context of each series the choices offered are:

XCD P (Portable) f/3.4 or f/4 Series — compact, slower, lower price: 28P, 45P, 75P

XCD V (Versatile) f/2.5 Series — compact, fast, manual focus with depth of field scale: 25V, 38V, 55V, 90V

XCD E (Exclusive) — unique high performance lens designs: First in series, the 20-35E zoom lens

Thank you, Hasselblad.

Please, do not forget:
  • A new XCD 150mm f3.2 (or longer and faster) + TC
  • New firmware update
  • Shift wide-angle lens
Thanks
 
Can I adapt it to GFX? 🥸
 
Looking at these specs: minimum focusing distance 0.55m with maximum scale of 1:5.8 (same as the 90V or like more or less any other XCD lens. I don't understand why Hasselblad thinks that all lenses should have the same maximum magnification of 0.17 X (120mm macro is gone, the 135mm is in the same range but the extender changes it 1.7X to 0.29).

Also very exciting, and if I read the B&H product description right.. you can stack them?

How would a 75 + 9mm (or 2) compare to using the adapted HC120 (which I do currently)?
 
Supported 4-shot Multi-Shot mode to capture 100MP true full colour images when using Phocus for Mac (version 3.8.3 or later) for tethered shooting
HUH!?

Nearly 600MB raws and adobe LR doesnt like them yet, but interesting.

Editing to add, I notice the exported dng from phocus is 615MB vs the 4-shot fff's 569. Lightroom does at least like those.

For fff files exiftool shows a difference you'd expect of Samples Per Pixel : 4 vs Samples Per Pixel : 1

The dngs at least the biggest difference in metadata is the 4-shot's phocus dng export is uncompressed?

Yeah they can be stacked, I've been using fotodiox's which have 11mm, 20mm and 48mm sizes which are similar situation and at much cheaper cost. No firmware integrations like the 9mm allegedly has with firmware 4.0.0 but they've worked just fine for me.

I use https://monochrome.sutic.nu/2018/05/24/extension-tube-calculator.html to check what I should expect out of lenses with em. If theres a better webtool others are using though I'd be all ears.
 
There is a list of possible magnifications with that new 9mm extension tube and 2x9mm

I have the 11mm Fotodiox extension tube (which works great for 120$ vs 299$) and I get great results with the 45P but not with my 28P and 90V. In my experience most lenses with IF don't do well with extension tubes as they are designed for a specific constant lens to sensor distance and extension tubes degrade image quality especially off axis but there can be exceptions. The 45P is the only XCD lens which does not have IF but all the others do in some version so I am amazed that Hasselblad in this list does not mention IQ. I guess that photographer which are not versed in macro don't have high expectations
