Embrace the expansive view and eternalise the captivating interplay of light and shadow. The XCD 2,5/25V has a wide-angle focal length equivalent to 20mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.5. This lens furthers Hasselblad's legacy of stellar optical performance, turning nocturnal cityscapes, starry skies, and indoor portraits into extraordinary captures. It integrates the classic V-series design ethos with intuitive, user-friendly functionality, exuding elegance, both in its aesthetic and control.
The metal lens body features the "V" insignia at one end, with the "H" logo print engraved on both the focus and control rings. This detail carries on the Hasselblad XCD V series' classic design ethos with refined elegance.
A gentle push and pull of the focus ring triggers effortless switching between AF and MF modes. In MF mode, intuitive scale marks on the lens body keep focus distance and depth of field clear at a glance, enabling precise focus control.
The control ring can be customised for quick access to preferred functions, allowing you to capture the perfect moment with ease.
Thanks to its linear stepping motor and a smaller, lighter lens group, the XCD 2,5/25V provides a nimble and responsive focusing experience when paired with the X or V system's medium format digital cameras that support PDAF.
The linear stepping motor can accurately control the movement of the focusing lens group, thereby improving the focusing precision. The lightweight and compact focusing lens group moves rapidly, ensuring swift and accurate focusing.
The XCD 2,5/25V adopts a large-diameter leaf shutter module with a shutter speed of up to 1/4000s. It enables both global shutter and flash synchronisation at all speeds, which is particularly advantageous for flash photography. For instance, in bright daylight conditions, the flash can be used to darken the surroundings, highlight the subject, and crisply freeze motion.
The wide-angle view at a 20mm-equivalent focal length encompasses a wealth of environment and subject details, granting ample compositional and expressive space. The f/2.5 large aperture, coupled with Hasselblad's consistently excellent optical performance, enables the XCD 2,5/25V to encapsulate rich highlight and shadow details within its frame, capturing the hidden wonders even at dusk or after dark.

The leaf shutter is built into the lens structure. Its most significant advantage is that it can achieve flash synchronisation at all speeds (e.g., flash sync speed of up to 1/4000s). This helps capture fast-moving subjects when a flash is used and is also helpful for wide-aperture portraits in strong lighting conditions or outdoors.
For cameras with a focal-plane shutter, when using flash, the shutter speed is limited to 1/125s or 1/250s, posing restrictions for creativity. Due to the special design of the leaf shutter, it generates significantly reduced vibration when triggered, efficiently producing quality shots.
XCD 2,5/25V features Hasselblad's proprietary large-diameter, high-speed shutter, which has an aperture area that is 2.44 times larger than that of XCD 2,5/55V. Additionally, this shutter can achieve a maximum speed of 1/4000s, which is one stop faster than XCD 2,5/55V's maximum shutter speed of 1/2000s. Therefore, XCD 2,5/25V generates more energy when the shutter closes, resulting in a louder sound and more noticeable vibration. However, these vibrations do not affect image quality.
Yes. Full-time manual focus is always available. Adjust the focus ring at any time, regardless of whether you use AF or MF mode.
You can set the function of the control ring to N/A, ISO, aperture, shutter, face switching, or exposure compensation.
Distortions can be corrected in Phocus or other image-processing software for more accurate optical effects. The camera itself does not support lens correction.
The equivalent focal length is approximately 20mm.

XCD 2,5/25V weighs 592g and measures 75 x 105mm. For more details, refer to the datasheet.
XCD 2,5/25V adopts a filter thread with a diameter of 72mm, which supports installing all types of 72mm-diameter filters.
XCD 2,5/25V includes some sealing at the seams, but it is not rated for dust or water resistance. It is recommended to avoid using this lens in dusty or wet conditions.
The minimum focusing distance of XCD 2,5/25V is 25cm (measured from the image plane), with a maximum image scale of 1:5.8.
