Hasselblad XCD 75mm f/3.4 P Autofocus Lens for X-Sytem Review

The Hasselblad XCD 75mm f/3.4 P is a portrait-length prime designed for the Hasselblad X System medium format cameras. At 75mm equivalent to roughly 59mm in full-frame terms, it sits comfortably in the short telephoto range, making it well suited for environmental portraits, documentary work, and general-purpose shooting where a bit of compression is helpful. The f/3.4 aperture is modest but typical for compact medium format glass, and the "P" designation signals Hasselblad's emphasis on portability within the XCD lineup.

This lens is built for photographers who value the Hasselblad ecosystem's image quality and color science but want something more portable than the brand's faster, heavier telephoto options. The autofocus and weather sealing (standard on XCD lenses) make it practical for field use. At just over $2,000 new, it represents a relatively accessible entry point into Hasselblad optics, though it still commands a premium compared to many full-frame primes. For X System shooters seeking a versatile, travel-friendly focal length without the bulk of faster glass, this lens fills a clear gap.
