One Hasselblad Lens to Rule Them All

After six months of extensive testing, the Hasselblad XCD 35-100 E medium format zoom lens has proven to be a robust and versatile tool, impressing across commercial shoots, weddings, and workshops. Its build quality is exceptional, with smooth controls and a premium feel, and its focal range (equivalent to 28-76mm full-frame) offers significant flexibility. While its maximum aperture of f/2.2-3.2 is competitive, especially against other medium format options, the lens's size and weight are comparable to full-frame equivalents. Despite its impressive performance, the reviewer notes that its very versatility might be a reason for not using it permanently, suggesting potential trade-offs for some users.
