What We Like
+Exceptional sharpness from center to edges with minimal chromatic aberration, optimized for 100MP sensors
+Fast f/2.5 aperture enables versatile low-light and astrophotography performance with minimal coma at open aperture
+Lightweight (592g) and compact for a medium format wide-angle lens with integrated leaf shutter offering 1/4000s flash sync
+Refined metal construction with premium aesthetics and intuitive AF/MF switching via push-pull focus ring
+Superior bokeh rendering with smooth, round highlights even at wide aperture—a departure from traditional Hasselblad polygonal bokeh
+Robust close-focus capability at 25cm with 1:5.8 magnification for macro-style shooting versatility
Worth Knowing
−Leaf shutter operates noticeably louder than other XCD V lenses, potentially problematic for silent shooting situations
−Autofocus motor is relatively slow for modern standards, though acceptable for landscape and architectural work
−Corner sharpness softens at f/2.5, with some sagittal astigmatism visible in astrophotography unless stopped down to f/4
−Premium pricing at $3,699 limits accessibility; significantly more expensive than the slower XCD 28mm f/4 P alternative

About This LensThe XCD 2,5/25V features a wide-angle focal length equivalent to 20mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.5. This lens features an optical structure of thirteen elements in ten groups, including four aspherical elements and three ED elements, meeting the high-resolution requirements of 100-megapixel sensors. The upgraded leaf shutter allows a 1/4000 shutter speed and takes up less space in the lens. Professional reviewers praise its exceptional sharpness, versatile wide-angle perspective, and excellent optical performance for nightscapes and landscapes, though some note the leaf shutter operates loudly and autofocus speed is moderate for medium format. | |
