Hasselblad X series medium format mirrorless cameras
see also:
introduction
- this new medium format mirrorless system was announced June 2016 which will use the new Hasselblad XCD lenses and is based around a 43.8×32.9mm sensor (0.79x crop factor compared with 35mm full frame)
- the XCD lenses are CDAF optimised but have a smaller image circle than the H series and thus cannot be used with a larger sensor, and obviously have a shorter sensor to flange distance and cannot be used on the H series cameras.
- optional adapter enables using Hasselblad H series medium format cameras series lenses
- optional XV Lens Adapter enables using Hasselblad V 6x6 manual focus medium format camera system series lenses in electronic shutter mode only (announced Aug 2018) for $US249
- optional XPan Lens Adapter and Selectable Crop Mode to match the XPan format
- uses Nikon flash technology and thus is compatible with Nikon flashes
