Phase One Adds 90mm Lens to XT System
31 August 2020
Phase One has announced the Rodenstock 90mm, a new lens for its XT Camera System featuring "outstanding sharpness and unbeatable image quality with minute depth of field, uniform bokeh and precise focus," the company said.
"The 90mm focal length defines the 'feel' of large format photography," said Drew Altdoerffer, Phase One product manager. "When it comes to large format aesthetic, this is the focal length artists have in mind and a longer focal length is a welcome addition to the XT."
Designed for landscape photography, the XT Camera System's ability to shift 24mm on both the X- and Y-axes allows you to correct perspective distortion and also create panoramic/stitched images. Because the 90mm's 120mm image circle far exceeds the XT's movements, this lens delivers uniformity through all camera movements. The combination of f5.6 and a 67° angle of view uniquely focuses the subject.

Phase One Adds 90mm Lens to XT 150-Megapixel Camera Offering
Brings Large Format Feel to Full Frame Medium Format Field Camera
COPENHAGEN -- Phase One has announced a remarkable new lens for its breakthrough XT Camera System: the Rodenstock 90mm. Embodying characteristics and workflow elements familiar to those shooting large format, the focal length of this lens offers outstanding sharpness and unbeatable image quality: with minute depth of field, uniform bokeh and precise focus.
In concert with the powerful and highly integrated Phase One IQ4 Infinity Platform -- a camera platform flexible enough to support evolving technology -- this newest of Phase One's Rodenstock lenses puts the XT camera in a class by itself.
Designed for landscape photography, the XT Camera System's ability to shift 24mm on both the X- and Y-axes allows photographers to correct all perspective distortion and also to create panoramic/stitched images at tremendous scale/resolution. Since the 90mm's 120mm image circle far exceeds the XT's movements, this lens uniquely delivers perfect uniformity throughout all camera movements or flawless uniformity throughout camera perspectives. The combination of f5.6 and a 67° angle of view uniquely focuses the subject.
All five available Rodenstock lenses are fitted with the Phase One designed and digitally integrated X-Shutter -- an intelligently controlled electromagnetic shutter born from Phase One's experience with industrial applications. It ensures robust handling for the long term.
- The XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-S 23mm f5.6 is the highest quality wide-angle lens available.
- The XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 32mm f4 is an exceptional quality wide-angle lens with a large image circle and almost no distortion.
- The XT Rodenstock XT HR Digaron-W 50mm f4 is an ideal balance of a "normal" focal length perspective and wide-angle aesthetic, a close equivalent to human vision.
- The XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 70mm f5.6 is a normal focal length lens with impeccable image quality and a large image circle.
- XT Rodenstock HR Digaron W/SW 90mm f5.6 is the longest focal length lens and largest image circle with exceptional image resolution for getting closer to your subject.
"The 90mm focal length defines the 'feel' of large format photography," said Drew Altdoerffer, Product Manager at Phase One. "When it comes to Large Format aesthetic, this is the focal length artists have in mind and a longer focal length is a welcome addition to the XT."
