even more creative possibilities for the X1D user.

an MSRP of € 2999 / $ 3750 / £ 2749 excl. VAT.

The high-performing 21mm f/4 lens brings together the
compact format of the XCD range with the maximum optical
quality across the frame with a wide eld of view. The XCD
21mm has an extremely short focal length that provides a
17mm full frame equivalency. It features a 32 cm close distance
setting (1:10 image scale) and an aperture range between 4
and 32. Offering a new versatility to the X1D user, the lens is
especially suitable for both landscape and interior and exterior
architectural photography.
Like the other XCD lenses, the XCD 21mm f/4 lens has
an integral central shutter offering a wide range of shutter
speeds and full ash synchronisation up to 1/2000th second.
“The automatic Lens Correction Tool in Phocus will generate
images from the XCD 21mm f/4 that are completely free from
any distortion, rendering all lines perfectly straight!” says Ove
Bengtsson - Product Manager.
