Build and handling
To call the Hasselblad XCD 90V lens eagerly anticipated would be quite an understatement. X system users have been waiting patiently but their patience has now paid off. Not only do the V lenses share a matching aesthetic, but they also share matching practicalities such as the same 72mm filter thread, to make your setup more uniformly useful, and the same gloriously tactile manual focus clutch that engages silky smooth fingertip focusing. Also common to the V series is the customisable control ring, which can toggle between clicked and de-clicked at the flick of a switch. Overall handling is superb and the build is right up there with the best.
