This is my review of the Hasselblad XCD 2.5/90V shot on the Hasselblad X2D. I explain everything you need to know about the lens and show lots of sample images under bright light and low light conditions to test the autofocus with face detection speed.

Note: what I forgot to mention is that the lens also has a programmable (via the settings in the camera menu) control ring which I personally prefer to be set to the aperture setting. And the lens also has a switch where you can set whether the programmable control ring has click sounds or is silent but this feature is currently kind of obsolete since the X2D has no video capabilities where you typically want to avoid clicks on a programmable control wheel on the lens.

@14:38 I accidentally say f/2.8 but, as you can see in Lightroom, mean of course f/2.5.
