The Forgotten XPan Lens: A Telephoto Lens in a Wide Angle World

Описание: Among the legends of the XPan system, the 90mm f/4 remains a quiet mystery — a telephoto lens designed for a wide-angle world. Overshadowed by the dramatic sweep of the 45mm and the spectacle of the 30mm, it’s often dismissed as an afterthought. But those who take the time to look through it discover a different kind of beauty: cinematic compression wrapped in minimalist precision. No fanfare, no distortion, no tricks — just a lens that sees the world with calm clarity and emotional depth.

In this video, I explore what makes the Hasselblad XPan 90mm f/4 such a unique and underrated lens in the XPan lineup. From how it functions on the camera to the subtle beauty of its compressed panoramic images, this is a lens that challenges expectations in a format known for wide perspectives.
