The details
At a glance: Compact 55mm f/2.5 medium-format prime with a built-in leaf shutter for Hasselblad's X-system.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What is the equivalent focal length?
Roughly 43mm in full-frame terms on the 44x33mm sensor, giving a natural 'standard' angle of view.
Does it have a built-in leaf shutter?
Yes. The upgraded leaf shutter fires up to 1/2000s and flash-syncs at all shutter speeds.
How close can it focus?
Down to 0.45m, for a maximum magnification of about 1:6.4.
Is it weather-sealed?
There is a rubber gasket at the mount to help resist dust and moisture, but Hasselblad makes no formal weather-sealing claim, so severe conditions are best avoided.
Which cameras does it fit?
All Hasselblad X-system bodies, including the X1D II 50C and X2D 100C, plus the 907X.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
