Hasselblad Releases New X1D II 50C, XCD 3, 504/35-75 Zoom, Phocus Control & More!
We first reported months ago that a new Hasselblad X1D was in the works, that we incorrectly labelled an X1D Mark II according to it’s Bluetooth registration.
Today, Hasselblad dropped the real thing: a compact, powerful enhanced X1D Mirrorless Medium Format Digital Camera!
Hasselblad has improved upon the first generation with enhanced electronics for a quicker and more intuitive medium format experience.

Priced at $5750, you can Pre-Order the Hasselblad X1D II 50C at B&H Photo or Adorama.
Hasselblad also released it’s 9th X System lens, the XCD 3,5-4,5/35-75 Zoom. Delivering the same superb image quality from edge-to-edge as the XCD Prime lenses, this extremely high performance, compact mid-range zoom covers moderate wide angle to short telephoto focal lengths.
It’s interal focusing keeps the lens’ dimensions constant, delivers quick autofocus and additionally keeps the overall weight down. Ideal for shooting anything from wide angle landscapes to portraits, this lens is perfect for photographers who are looking to keep the amount of equipment they carry to a minimum without compromising on quality.
The XCD 36-75mm Zoom retails for $5175 and is available for pre-order at B&H Photo and Adorama.
But Hasselblad didn’t stop there in today’s epic announcement.
We’re also getting an updated app called Phocus Mobile 2 to take image editing to a new, portable level. Phocus Mobile 2 takes the image editing process to a new, portable level. Compatible with the X1D II 50C via either USB-C or Wi-Fi, this application is currently supported on iPad Pro and iPad Air (2019) models, enabling the traveling photographer to have a quicker, more mobile workflow. With Phocus Mobile 2, users can import, edit and rate RAW images and import and rate full quality JPEG images directly on their portable device. In addition, Phocus Mobile 2 supports full quality image export, tethered shooting and direct camera control.
Lastly, and certainly not least, Hasselblad also released CFV II 50C & 907X digital back and camera body.
The CFV II 50C digital back, which will have an outstanding medium format 50MP sensor and ergonomically enhanced tilt screen, will enable use with most V System cameras made from 1957 and onwards in addition to third party technical or view cameras.
Coupling the CFV II 50C with Hasselblad’s smallest medium format camera body ever, the 907X, creates a highly compact package. With the 907X, the photographer will gain access to all of the high-quality X System Lenses in addition to a vast range of Hasselblad optics via adapters, including the H System, V System, and XPan Lenses.
The CFV II 50C isn’t showing up for pre-order anywhere yet, so stay tuned for actual release schedule.
