Hasselblad XCD 25mm f/2.5 V: Review Soon... well maybe
About $3600 Hasselblad XCD 25mm f/2.5 V...
UPDATE: my contact at B&H was not available today, so the lens went out of stock. Timeline now... no idea. But with some luck I will get both the 25/2.5 and the 28/4P.

The just-announced Hasselblad XCD 25mm f/2.5 V is in stock already (not any more), and assuming it stays that way through tomorrow and B&H Photo gets it to me, I’ll be reviewing it pronto.
Similarly, I hope to review the Hasselblad XCD 28mm f/4 P, which has not yet shown up at B&H Photo. With a little luck I can cover both, as well as the Hasselblad XCD 45mm f/4 P versus the Hasselblad XCD 45mm f/3.5.
Also, I never reviewed the Hasselblad XCD 65mm f/2.8 on the 100-megapixel sensor so now seems like a good time to revisit it. And maybe another focal length or two.
The Hasselblad XCD 90mm f/2.5 V does not want to seem to come into stock, and it’s darned expensive too, but if it shows up I’ll see if I can incorporate it.
I’m also interested in seeing how well the Hasselblad X2D focus bracketing support for focus stacking support works—better than Fujifilm’s broken implementation I hope. That feature was not available when I reviewed the X2D back in autumn of 2022. And the camera had problems of various kinds... time has passed and hopefully most of the issues have been fixed.
