H System Lenses.
First and foremost, today’s Hasselblad lenses are characterized by the finest
grade of glass available, designed for optimal rendering of the finest detail,
with perfect sharpness from corner to corner, for each and every image.
All lenses have central lens shutters, and feature auto-focus, built around
extremely rapid and accurate in-lens motors. A unique manual override
design offers the convenience of working seamlessly between auto-focus
and manual focus with all lenses.

15. FLEXTIGHT X1 / X5
The latest generation of Hasselblad scanners, the
Flextight X1 and X5, are both built around the same
foundation. A vertical optical system allows the CCD
to face downwards, creating a glass-free optical path
between the original and the lens. The patented
virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing
across the entire original and the flexible holder
guarantees easy mounting and safe and secure
handling of your originals.
The components used in both Flextight scanners
are basically the same, meaning that regardless of
which solution you choose, the quality level is virtually
28 identical. Differences between the models are more 29
