p.1 #1 · Any Prospect of New XCD 1:1 Macro?


Currently, for use on an X2D family body we have older 1:1 lenses that can manually focus, or a newer XCD 1:2 lens.

For those that have followed Hasselblad for awhile, is there any prospect of a new macro in the near future?

I don’t think it’s easy to guess what Hasselblad is planning based on earlier releases since the current setup with P, V and E lenses is quite new. A third zoom 100-X looks like a solid guess but other than that I have no clue.

That said, an upgrade to the 120 macro would be very welcome and also a longer prime like the 250mm Fuji has.

Agreed. I think the next lens will be a 100-xxx zoom. A macro may follow sometime after. It'll be hard to beat the spectacular optics of the XCD120mm. With good AF it could replace the XCD 120 and XCD135. They also need to upgrade the 80mm 1.9. A new150 and 200mm would be welcome as well.

I think before we see any really long glass, we'll get a few new P lenses. There's a gap for a new 45P and I think a lot of people would like a 135P as well.
