Hasselblad XCD 21mm f/4 Announcement

A few significant improvements, compared to the first generation from 2010, can be found in the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II lens, presented a few days ago.
 
The stabilization system has the efficiency of 5EV and it offers three modes of work: for static shots, for photographing of fast-moving objects and for panning shots. The system is also quieter than its predecessor.

The optical system consists of 20 elements placed in 15 groups, including one fluorite lens and two low-dispersion lenses. The front and rear lens have been covered with fluorite coatings, which help in keeping the lenses clean. In order to minimize light flares and light reflections, Super Spectra Coatings were used. The lens is equipped with an ultrasonic ring autofocus drive – the minimum focus distance is 1m.
 
The lens has the dimensions of 80 x 176mm and it weighs 780g. Canon EF 70-200 mm f/4L IS II is to appear on sale this month and it will cost $1300.

The European price of the Hasselblad X1D medium format mirrorless camera dropped significantly to €4,999 from €9,559.
 
The price in the US already dropped by $2,500 a while back ($3,500 for the black version). The current US price of $6,495 is the same as the Fuji GFX 50S and Nikon D5.
 

As announced, Fujifilm has presented two new lenses for a medium-format GFX 50S camera. The first one is Fujinon GF 23mm f/4 R LM WR - the equivalent of 18mm focal length for full frame.
 
The lens will perfectly fulfil its role in landscape and architectural photography. The construction consists of 15 elements placed in 12 groups (2 aspherical lenses and 3 made of low-dispersion glass).
 
The lens is equipped with a linear autofocus motor and is sealed against the weather. It weighs 0.84kg and has 94x126mm dimensions.
