HASSELBLAD has announced a new X2D 100C Lightweight Portrait Kit that consists of the X2D 100C, and the XCD 1.9/80 and XCD 4/45P lenses.
The X2D 100C features a 100-megapixel medium format BSI CMOS sensor. This sensor, combined with the innovative Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS), is claimed to ensure that skin tones are faithfully reproduced, mirroring the way the human eye perceives them in both RAW and JPG photos. With 16-bit color depth, there is flexibility in post-processing.
The X2D 100C features 5-axis 7-stop in-body image stabilization (IBIS) as well as Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) technology. It is equipped with a built-in 1TB SSD, providing space to store over 4600 RAW photos.
Both lenses included in the kit, the XCD 1.9/80 and XCD 4/45P, feature an integral central shutter, offering exposure times ranging from 68 minutes to 1/2000s with full flash synchronization.
XCD 1.9/80
The XCD 1.9/80 lens is a medium format wide-aperture autofocus lens that is designed to capture high center resolution and color accuracy. The XCD 1.9/80 lens excels at creating bokeh, so you can have smooth transitions between the sharp areas in focus and the softly blurred periphery. Additionally, when used with the X2D 100C camera, it unlocks the full potential of the 100-megapixel sensor, striking the perfect balance between sharp, in-focus areas and beautifully rendered bokeh.
XCD 4/45P
Complementing the XCD 1,9/80, the XCD 4/45P is an ultra-lightweight and compact medium-format autofocus lens. Despite its compact size and weight, the XCD 4/45P boasts an exceptional optical design comprising seven elements in nine groups, including two aspherical elements.

The Hasselblad X2D 100C Lightweight Portrait Kit retails for €13,489 including sales tax and $13,049 USD excluding sales tax. It is now available to order immediately.
