Original Hasselblad XPan lens shades are no longer being made, and the secondhand market prices reflect that. This ABS replacement is modeled directly from the original for correct fit and shading, attaches via the original bayonet, and works with original lens caps. A secondary front shade cap is included with each shade for convenience, and an alignment indicator makes installation straightforward.

The material choice here was deliberate. ABS is thin, light, and impact resistant, but more importantly it's designed to flex and ultimately fail under impact rather than transfer force to the bayonet on your irreplaceable camera. The shade is the replaceable part. It's supposed to lose.

Key Features:

• Original bayonet fit: Modeled directly from the original shade; compatible with original XPan lens caps

• Sacrificial impact protection: ABS construction flexes and fails under impact to absorb energy and protect the lens bayonet

• Alignment indicator: Simplifies installation onto the bayonet

• Secondary front cap included: Each shade ships with an additional front shade cap for convenience

• Compatible lenses: 45mm and 90mm version, and 30mm version available separately

Original shades aren't getting more common, but this one is available now. Also available: Xpan Body & Rear Lens Caps.
