What the Reviewers Say

All 9 expert reviews, weighted into the PixelMeter score.

  • Photography Life

    Well, you’ll see more on the next page of this review, but Hasselblad has clearly traded some size and weight for image quality with this lens. I don’t think that’s such a bad tradeoff given that the lens is still pretty small.

    If we want incredible sharpness and detail, then this is a lens that can provide it. The actual figures are the highest I have measured so far, pressing on the limits of the testing system.

    The Hasselblad XCD 75P is a fantastic standard prime that's sharp enough for the most challenging professional work, and small enough to be an everyday carry for travel and walkabout shooting.

  • The Art of Photography

    It's a good focal length, the optics are incredible and when you pair it up with the X2D you have a system that's not only very portable and compact and lightweight and easy to carry around, but it's something that gives you by far the best image quality and color rendition [...]

    I absolutely love them and I didn't think I was going to like this little lens as much as I actually did. I was skeptical about the Hasselblad XCD 75mm f/3.4 P f/3.4, but it still gives you the beautiful separation of the background and the model.
