Hasselblad XCD 3.4/75P plus X Extension Tube

The Hasselblad XCD 3.4/75P is the newest addition to Hasselblad's XCD Portable lens range and the first standard lens in the series. With a focal length equivalent to 59mm on full frame and a maximum aperture of f/3.4—the largest in the XCD P line—the lens combines optical quality with low weight.

Designed for photographers seeking precision and convenience when capturing portraits, street scenes and still lifes, the lens delivers sharp, clear images from center to edge, with vivid, true-to-life color. Its maximum f/3.4 aperture improves detail in portraits made in in low light.

The Hasselblad XCD 3.4/75P has the longest focal length and largest aperture in the XCD P series. Positioned between standard and medium-telephoto lenses, it is suitable for full-length and half-length portraits. The longer focal length and large aperture create beautifully soft, natural bokeh for striking portraits.

With the longest focal length and largest aperture in the XCD P series, the lens sits between standard and medium-telephoto designs and is suitable for both full-length and upper-body portraits. The longer focal length and large aperture produce soft, natural bokeh.

Weighing only 398g and measuring just 71mm long, the XCD 3.4/75P is compact, lightweight and highly portable, making it an excellent choice for portrait and street photographers on the move.

The slim metal barrel is accented by a distinctive "H" pattern around the focus ring, adding elegance and Hasselblad's signature style to the lightweight design.

When paired with Hasselblad X or V System medium-format digital cameras that support PDAF, the lens provides smooth, quiet and responsive focusing.

The Hasselblad XCD 3.4/75P's leaf shutter operates with minimal vibration and noise, allowing discreet shooting in quiet environments. It offers shutter speeds up to 1/2000 second and full flash synchronization at every speed, enabling photographers to freeze fast-moving subjects or use flash creatively, even in bright sunlight.

Hasselblad X Extension Tube (9mm)

The Hasselblad X Extension Tube (9mm) was introduced at the same time. It is designed specifically for X System cameras, 907X cameras and XCD-series lenses. By increasing the distance between the lens and image sensor, it shortens the XCD lens's minimum focusing distance and expands its close-up capabilities.

The X Extension Tube can be used individually or stacked in pairs. Stacking two tubes doubles the effect, further expanding the close-up capabilities of XCD-series lenses.
