The Hasselblad 35-100mm f2.8-4 E XCD Lens offers X System photographers an extended telephoto range, faster autofocus and a 19% lighter design than the 35-75mm. Its E Series optics comprise 16 elements in 13 groups, including three aspherical and five ED elements, which maintain consistent sharpness across the frame. Paired with Hasselblad’s X2D 100C II, it supports full-speed flash synchronisation across all shutter speeds.

Extended focal range with reduced form factor

Hasselblad’s 35-100mm f2.8-4 E XCD lens extends the X series’ zoom capability further into the telephoto range, offering more flexibility than the 35-75mm while reducing overall size. It measures 133mm in length* and weighs 894g, making it 10% shorter and 19% lighter than the 35-75mm. These reductions improve carrying comfort and balance on both X system and 907X bodies. The added reach allows for tighter framing in portraits, street photography, and travel scenes, while the lighter build ensures the lens remains practical for long sessions on location.

Advanced E-Series optical construction

The optical construction follows Hasselblad’s E-Series standard, delivering consistent sharpness and colour accuracy across the frame. Built from 16 elements in 13 groups, the design incorporates three aspherical elements to control field curvature and five extra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberrations. This design ensures high clarity and clean colour separation, even in demanding high-contrast lighting. At the wide end, the f2.8 aperture keeps exposures bright in low light and supports shallow depth of field for subject isolation. The 0.4 m minimum focus distance achieves a 1:8 reproduction ratio, allowing users to capture fine detail at close range without needing to switch to a macro lens.

Stepping motor with continuous AF tracking

A stepping motor drives the autofocus system with speed and precision, allowing the lens to respond quickly and quietly to changes in subject position. When paired with the X2D 100C II, continuous AF tracking maintains accuracy on moving subjects, ensuring consistent focus even at longer focal lengths where depth of field narrows considerably. This system makes the lens reliable for both portraits and more dynamic scenes, with the stepping motor ensuring fast, precise and near-silent focus acquisition.

Leaf shutter with full-speed flash synchronisation

An integrated leaf shutter provides exposures from 1/4000 s to 68 minutes, with full flash synchronisation available at every shutter speed. This technology offers photographers greater freedom when working with strobes, whether balancing flash with daylight outdoors or creating complex, multi-light setups in the studio. Unlike focal-plane shutters, the leaf design maintains full flash output at fast shutter speeds, enabling accurate exposure control without relying on high-speed sync.

Precision-forged body with programmable control

The precision-forged metal body delivers strength and long-term reliability, while maintaining a compact, well-balanced profile on both X System and 907X cameras. Three dedicated rings provide tactile operation: a zoom ring for adjusting focal length, a focus ring for manual override, and a programmable control ring that allows users to assign frequently used settings.

*Length from camera lens mount flange. The total length, including the mount, is 138mm.

FAQs:

What is the maximum aperture at the telephoto end?

The aperture varies across the zoom range. At 35mm, the maximum aperture is f2.8, providing strong low-light performance and shallow depth of field. As users zoom towards 100mm, the maximum aperture narrows to f4.

Is the 35-100mm f2.8-4 E XCD lens compatible with filters?

Yes, the lens accepts standard 86 mm screw-in filters. The larger diameter supports the use of accessories such as neutral density and polarising filters without the need for step-up rings. This compatibility ensures that photographers working in both natural light and controlled lighting setups can manage reflections, contrast and exposure directly through the front thread.

Does close focusing reduce exposure on the 35-100mm f2.8-4 E XCD lens?

No, the Hasselblad 35-100mm f2.8-4 E XCD Lens maintains consistent exposure values across its entire focusing range. Some lenses lose light when focusing at very close distances, meaning the effective aperture becomes smaller than indicated, and exposures need compensation. At its 0.4 m minimum focus distance, this lens achieves a 1:8 reproduction ratio without any exposure loss, ensuring metering remains accurate and predictable when working close to a subject.

What does the "E" in the Hasselblad E-Series mean?

The "E" in Hasselblad’s XCD E Series stands for Exclusive. It designates lenses built to Hasselblad’s highest optical standards, engineered for exceptional sharpness, colour fidelity and frame-wide consistency. The 35-100mm f2.8-4 E XCD Lens carries this designation, aligning it with Hasselblad’s flagship-level optical architecture and performance benchmarks.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
