Product Information
Full details
The Hasselblad XPan Lens Adapter is designed for photographers who want to pair their classic XPan lenses with the modern X1D medium format camera system. It offers a compact, lightweight way to bridge legacy glass with digital technology, though users should be prepared for a fully manual shooting experience that requires the use of the camera's electronic shutter.

FAQs
Can I use autofocus with this adapter?
No, this adapter does not support autofocus. Both aperture and focus must be controlled manually on the lens.
Does this adapter add much weight to my kit?
No, at only 112g, the adapter is very lightweight and designed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
Why do I see softer edges compared to film?
This is expected when using film-designed lenses on digital sensors due to the sensor cover glass and IR filter in the light path.
Is the XPan 90mm lens compatible?
Yes, the adapter is compatible with the 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm XPan lenses.
Do I need to update my X1D firmware?
While firmware updates are always recommended for system stability, the mechanical nature of this adapter means it functions regardless of most firmware changes.
Troubleshooting
Image is completely black or exposure is incorrect
Ensure the X1D camera is set to 'Electronic Shutter' mode, as these lenses have no mechanical shutter.
Edge softness is visible in photographs
Stop down the aperture on the lens to improve sharpness across the frame.
Lens does not lock securely to the adapter
Check the mounting index marks and ensure no debris is stuck in the locking mechanism.
