Hasselblad HCD Lenses

The HCD Lens line is designed to have absolute maximum performance for the 36x48mm format. A format that was used in the H Series 22, 39 and 50 MP CCD-based digital cameras. This design choice has resulted in a smaller and better lens compared to a lens designed for the full 41,5×56mm format.

No matter how great your camera system, your images don’t start in the back, they start in the front. A camera as fast and versatile as an H System model demands the very best from its lenses, and that’s what we’ve produced. All HC and HCD lenses are engineered to ensure optimal performance and image quality, whether using film or digital.

Hasselblad has always striven to support the best and most creative photographers. And while digital photography has in some ways turned part of the photographic market into mere point-and-shoot, high-volume type of shooting,  is always pushing the technical envelope to bring more creative possibilities and photographic flexibility to Hasselblad photographers.
