Focusing: excellent focusing speed, accurate focusing, 0.22m close-up

As a new lens, Hasu XCD 4/28P's focus improvement is also one of its core advantages. Hasu XCD 4/28P adopts a linear control stepping motor design, so it can more accurately control the movement of the focusing lens group, thus improving the focusing accuracy. The lens itself has a lightweight and compact design, and a lighter and smaller focusing lens group can also achieve faster movement, thus improving the sensitivity of focusing response. According to the official introduction, the focusing experience of Hasu XCD 4/28P is comparable to that of XCD 2,5/38V XCD 2,5/55V lens.

Focus experience of Hasselblad XCD 4/28P

From the actual experience, we can see that the focus improvement of Hasu XCD 4/28P is indeed very obvious. The feeling of using it now is almost the same as that of our common Japanese brand cameras in terms of focusing experience. In the process of shooting scenery photography, architectural photography and street sweeping, the focusing of Hasu XCD 4/28P gives users a very good experience, and the phenomenon that the old lens has a long focusing journey and occasionally has an unrealistic focusing will not occur again. In addition, the Hasselblad XCD 4/28P uses an optimized inter mirror shutter design, which makes the focusing process very quiet. It is no longer like the inter mirror shutter of the old lens, which produces strong vibration when in use. Of course, you can still feel the vibration when focusing, but it is no longer severe, which has significantly improved the experience.

The nearest focusing distance of Hasu XCD 4/28P is 0.22m, so we can shoot very close to the subject. In the process of close-up shooting, the focusing experience of Hasselblad XCD 4/28P lens is still excellent, fast and accurate, which is consistent with the experience of normal shooting. With 0.22m close-up ability, we can get better effects when shooting close-up, such as shooting still life, flowers, food and other subjects, and can record more advanced photos.

Virtualization: excellent out of focus effect of F4 aperture

The focal length of Hasselblad XCD 4/28P is 28mm, the equivalent full frame focal length is 22mm, and the aperture design is F4. Of course, the actual maximum aperture will be larger than F4 due to the use of the medium frame fuselage. Although it is a wide-angle focal section, because the aperture design is relatively large, it can still bring excellent virtualization performance and spot effect.

Camera: Hasu X2D 100C; Lens: XCD 4/28P; Aperture: f/4; ISO：64； Shutter: 1/242s

It can be seen from our live shot samples that the Hasselblad XCD 4/28P is a wide-angle lens, so it is impossible to achieve the virtualization effect of the standard or long focal length, but its virtualization performance is still excellent. The main picture in the focus we shot is sharp and clear, the details are fully stored, and the performance outside the focus is "like cream". At the same time, the effect of the light spot is perfect, which can add aesthetic atmosphere to the photos. Especially when we shoot near, the Hasselblad XCD 4/28P lens can have a better illusion effect outside the focus.
