It must be noted that this special lens is designed specifically for the H3D, HD4 and the H2F camera models and is for digital use only.
Note! This lens is not compatible with the film magazine HM 16-32, the film magazine HMi 100 or the Converter H1.7x
- The HCD 28mm f/4 is designed for use on the Hasselblad H3D, H4D and the H2F cameras
- This lens is designed solely for digital use. This means that the lens is designed for a format of 37 x 49mm and does not cover the film format (41.5 x 56mm). The function is therefore disabled when using a film magazine.
- All HCD lenses have electronic shutter mechanisms and feature Multi Coating for efficient stray light elimination, an integral focus drive motor, and instant access to manual focus without switching between manual and auto focus
- The HCD lenses use metal, not plastic, wherever possible, in order to ensure their reliability and durability year after year
- In addition, the special optical design of the lenses provides a uniquely soft, smooth quality to the blurred or out-of-focus areas of the image
- All lenses use threaded filters and include lens shade and bayonet mount and can be reverse mounted for transport

Comments about Hasselblad Ultra-Wide Angle HCD 28mm f/4.0 Auto Focus Lens:
I am an expressionist photographer who likes to start with a well-composed, well-exposed, well-conceived straight image before I begin to manipulate it in my "evil laboratory." This lens has a tendency to make even the most mundane straight subjects look extraordinary. When I first got it, I thought it might be too heavy to be practical handheld (it is a LOT of glass), but that is absolutely not the case because the lens is impeccably balanced. If I have a complaint at all, it is that the lens is so much fun that I have to make myself opt another lens in order to diversify my work.

Comments about Hasselblad Ultra-Wide Angle HCD 28mm f/4.0 Auto Focus Lens:
This is a very sharp lens. Even though I use this on a cropped sensor (33x44mm) it is still very wide. It is a great lens to use for landscape photography, and works very well with the HTS 1.5.

Comments about Hasselblad Ultra-Wide Angle HCD 28mm f/4.0 Auto Focus Lens:
I use this lens on my H4D-40 for architecture, landscape, and group pictures. This lens delivers very well corrected images, is light weight and very sharp. The size and weight also make this lens easy to pack in your bag. For landscape its almost a required lens IMHO.
