The XCD 2.8–4/35–100E is a versatile standard zoom lens, covering focal lengths from wide-angle to medium telephoto. With approximately 3x optical zoom, a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide end, a fast STM autofocus motor, and an ultra-fast 1/4000s leaf shutter, it excels in landscapes, portraits, street photography, and travel work. Despite its powerful performance, the lens remains compact and precisely engineered, delivering exceptional image quality on Hasselblad X System cameras.
