Ultra-Wide Medium Format

NiSi 16mm f/2.8 ASPH.

For Hasselblad XCD and Fujifilm GFX

Ultra-wide has always been the gap in medium format. The NiSi 16mm f/2.8 ASPH. closes it: a fast, weather-sealed prime with a full-frame equivalent near 12.6mm and a field of view beyond 118 degrees, built to resolve on today's 100 megapixel sensors.

Features of the NiSi 16mm f/2.8 ASPH.

Built specifically for medium format mirrorless, the 16mm f/2.8 ASPH. brings true ultra-wide coverage to a system that has long lacked a fast, affordable wide prime. A twelve-group optical design, aspherical elements and a weather-sealed metal body deliver professional image quality in the field.

It is available in two mounts: Hasselblad XCD (X1D, X2D, 907X) and Fujifilm GFX (G mount).
Is it a manual focus lens?
Yes. It is a manual focus prime with a smooth 180 degree focus throw and a clicked aperture ring for tactile control.
What is the full-frame equivalent focal length?
Approximately 12.6mm, with a field of view beyond 118 degrees — genuinely ultra-wide on medium format.
Can I use filters with it?
Yes. The lens takes standard 82mm screw-in filters, so it works with NiSi 82mm circular filters. It also comes with a custom 95MAG ring, which allows multiple filters to be stacked without vignetting.
Is it suitable for astrophotography?
Yes. Aspherical elements control coma so stars stay point-sharp wide open at f/2.8, which makes it well suited to Milky Way and nightscape work.
Is the lens weather-sealed?
Yes. It has a weather-sealed metal body and metal mount, built for landscape and field use.
