Exceptional Optical Design, Immense Scenic Details
The lens adopts an optical structure of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements.

Every minute detail stands out; every colour is natural and authentic, and every shot embodies the intrinsic beauty of the world.
At the wide-angle end, the maximum aperture of f/3.2 is maintained, guaranteeing foreground depiction in sharp relief and a soft, delicate bokeh even in dimly lit environments.

Adjustable Focal Length for Unfettered Creation
One lens, infinite possibilities. From ultra-wide to wide focal lengths, it caters to most wide-angle photography scenarios. Without the need to change lenses, swiftly adjust to desired focal lengths and capture grand landscapes, sweeping interiors, or environmental portraits exactly how you envision.
Precise Focusing, Capture Instant Classics
A stepping motor, paired with the focusing drive mechanism of the gearbox and a small and light focusing lens group, more accurately, rapidly, and quietly controls the movement of the focusing lens group. Whether in autofocus or manual focus, a smooth experience is ensured. When used with the PDAF technology of a Hasselblad 100-megapixel mirrorless medium format camera, focusing is quicker and more responsive.
Fast Leaf Shutter, Striking Imagery
The lens’s small but powerful leaf shutter supports shooting with flash synchronization at all shutter speeds with a flash sync speed of up to 1/2000s. Even under mixed light sources of flash and sunlight, you can freely explore creative inspirations and freeze every shining moment.
Elegant Design, Ergonomic Feel
The lens body is crafted from metal for a subtle but timeless appeal. It is not only stable and reliable but also offers an exceptional user experience. It adopts an elegant and streamlined design with the “H” logo print engraved on both the focus ring and the zoom ring.

Questions:
What is a leaf shutter? How does it work?
The leaf shutter is built into the lens structure. Its most significant advantage is that it can achieve flash synchronization at all speeds (e.g., flash sync speed of up to 1/2000s). This helps capture fast-moving subjects when a flash is used and is also helpful for wide-aperture portraits in strong lighting conditions or outdoors. Due to the special design of the leaf shutter, it generates significantly reduced vibration when triggered, efficiently producing quality shots.
For cameras with a focal-plane shutter, when using flash, the shutter speed is limited to 1/125s or 1/250s, posing restrictions for creativity.
Does the XCD 3,2-4,5/20-35E lens support full MF?
Yes. Full-time manual focus is always available. Adjust the focus ring at any time, regardless of whether you use AF or MF mode.

Distortions can be corrected in Phocus or other image-processing software for more accurate optical effects. The camera itself does not support lens correction.
