Aperture
The Hasselblad XCD 28mm F4 P features a maximum aperture of F4 and can be stopped down to a minimum aperture of F32. While a maximum aperture of F4 requires a bit more ambient light or a bump in ISO when shooting indoors, it keeps the physical size of the lens much smaller and easier to carry. Given the wider 28mm field of view, the background will naturally stay a bit more in focus, making it ideal for environmental portraits, street photography, or landscapes where context matters. The minimum setting of F32 is excellent for deep depth of field work like macro photography, though you may want to avoid the absolute smallest settings to skip the sharpness loss caused by optical diffraction.
