Hasselblad 28mm f/4.0 P Overview

Lightweight, Wide-Angle Lens for Street Photography
The XCD 28mm f/4 P Lens from Hasselblad is the lightest and smallest of the Hasselblad X System lenses and has been optically designed for outstanding image quality and precise focusing technology for instant shots.
Capturing a classic concerto of light and shadow begins with the lens. The XCD 28mm f/4 P adopts an optical structure of nine elements in eight groups, including two aspherical elements and one ED element, which ensures excellent imaging while effectively suppressing chromatic dispersion. This wide-angle lens has a 22mm full-frame equivalent focal length and an f/4 aperture that makes it easy to capture nature, street culture, and urban architecture.
With a thoughtfully crafted design, the lens has a compact size and a powerful performance to meet the resolution requirements of 100 million pixels. The lens yields sharp images with precision and high resolution from the center to the edges, achieving stunning image quality across the entire image area. It offers a 3.5" minimum focusing distance and 1:6 magnification ratio, rich close-ups of flowers, cuisine, and much more are effortlessly captured.
A linear stepping motor is combined with a lighter, smaller focusing lens group in this compact lens. When used with the PDAF technology of the X2D 100C, the lens can quickly reach the focusing position and achieve a precise stop. This results in fast, accurate, and responsive focusing, so your scene is captured before the click of the shutter. Full-time manual focus override is also available.
A compact yet powerful leaf shutter supports shooting with flash synchronization at all shutter speeds and with a maximum flash synch speed of up to 1/4000s. Shoot with flash in strong sunlight to capture dynamic subject juxtaposition, highlighting your subject while darkening the background.

The 28mm F4 is extremely nice for a walk around lens and compared to other Hasselblad lens is almost weightless. Sharpness is to Hasselblad standards.

How does it compare to the XCD 30mm f/3.5 on sharpness and chromatic aberration (both lateral and longitudinal)?
Asked by: Magneto
I owned the 30mm 3.5 and is an excellent lens. When I purchased the 28P I spent several days with detailed comparisons on handling and performance. I had never tested 2 lenses that were so close in performance and image quality. But in the end the 28P was every so slightly superior in the majority of cases. Coupled with being half the size and weight and nearly silent shutter I decided to keep the 28P and sold the 30mm.
