Hasselblad has today launched its new X System
medium format camera in the form of the Hasselblad X1D II 50C which will be
officially available to purchase next month from US$ 5,750 for body only. The X1D
II 50C’s live view features a faster refresh rate, reduced shutter lag and
black out time between frames, together with an improved continuous capture
rate, and a startup time cut almost in half from the first generation.
To complement the new medium format camera
Hasselblad has also launched a new X System prime lens taking the form of the
XCD 3,5-4,5/35-75 Zoom Lens. The XCD
lens will be officially available from October 2019 onwards priced at US$ 5,175.
Hasselblad has also unveiled the development of a
modernized CFV II 50C digital back and new 907X camera body, offering a 50
megapixel medium format back will be compatible with most V System cameras. For
