The Portrait Kit by Hasselblad is crafted to assist photographers in crafting narrative-rich portraits. The kit comprises Hasselblad’s flagship mirrorless medium format camera, the X2D 100C, accompanied by two lenses, the XCD 1,9/80 and XCD 4/45P, offering versatility for various portrait scenarios.
The heart of the kit, the X2D 100C, features a 100-megapixel medium format BSI CMOS sensor and the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) for accurate skin tone reproduction in both RAW and JPG photos. With 16-bit colour depth, photographers have ample flexibility in post-processing.
For handheld portraits, the X2D 100C incorporates 5-axis 7-stop in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) to ensure sharp and steady images in low light or slow shutter speed conditions. The Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) technology enhances autofocus precision, even in dynamic shooting situations.
The X2D 100C addresses storage concerns with a built-in 1TB SSD, accommodating the needs of professional photographers. The kit’s lenses, the XCD 1,9/80 and XCD 4/45P, feature an integral central shutter with versatile exposure times, allowing photographers to blend artificial flash and natural daylight seamlessly.
The XCD 1,9/80 is a medium format wide-aperture autofocus lens known for its resolution and colour accuracy. Its advanced optical design produces stunning image quality, especially at its widest aperture of f/1.9. The lens excels in creating a bokeh effect, with smooth transitions between focused and blurred areas.
Complementing the XCD 1,9/80, the XCD 4/45P is a compact medium format autofocus lens designed for capturing portraits in narrow spaces. Despite its lightweight build, it offers exceptional optical performance, enabling the X2D 100C to capture high-quality imagery with depth and narrative.
