About this lens
The Hasselblad XCD 2.5/55V is a 55mm f/2.5 standard prime for the X-system medium-format mirrorless mount, released in 2023 as one of the compact 'V' series lenses. It gives a roughly 43mm-equivalent field of view on the 44x33mm sensor and, like all XCD lenses, carries a built-in leaf shutter that flash-syncs at every shutter speed, all in a lightweight 372g body.

Best for
A natural 'standard' lens on the 44x33mm sensor, the 55V is an everyday walk-around prime suited to portraits, documentary, travel and street work where a light, discreet medium-format kit matters. Its built-in leaf shutter allows full flash synchronisation at any shutter speed, which is handy for daylight fill-flash and studio lighting. It fits every Hasselblad X-system body and the 907X, and its optics are designed to resolve detail for the system's 100-megapixel sensor.
