Great video! Honestly, I think the Hasselblad is the best camera ever made, I totally agree with your views on the mystique around it and I also agree that you can get images just as good on other 6 X 6 cameras, but for me it goes beyond just the images, it’s a time piece, an icon and a piece of mechanical excellence which was built before I was here, and more than likely still work long after I’m forgotten about. I have had multiple medium format cameras and they have all been great in their own way, but there is only one camera which I want to pick up in my own time, there is only one camera I’ve ever owned which starts a conversation with strangers, and there is only one camera that makes me feel special every time I’m using it and it is the Hasselblad. Every point I make a subjective but for me, I think the camera is undervalued due to the joy it gives me. I look forward to your next video!

Hi have you encountered photos came out half black at 160-250 shutter speed with studio flash ? I dont have this issue when using R5 but it seems like its happening with R5 mark 2. With the same studio flash. Additionally, the trigger doesnt work well with r5mark2. But works fine with r5, sonny etc...

Totally agree with everything. I wish the body was more durable and solid like Canon or Nikon. Ths Xh1 felt more durable, and the weight was perfect. This still doesn't feel like a flagship should. But the IQ is extremely good with the new sensor.

I have the ancestor of this camera, a Canon SL1. Funny how the reviews of the R50 overlook the lineage.

does this lens make audible noise when autofocusing?

Great Review of the Hasselblad 500 C/M. I also own a few of them with the 50mm, 80mm, 150mm and 180mm lens. They are definitely expensive systems but I love the lenses, size and the availability of parts. I have owned the C330 and can say they are great cameras and very little difference in image quality. I will say that I think the Hasselblads are overpriced in today’s market. Unless one is using them in a business or shooting enough film, they will take a long time to lower the cost per shot.

I like to play with the little 49 filters. This Freewell setup makes it easy to change filters and still use the hood.

for nikon z mount. viltrox has great 13 and 27mm. but for 50 above very difficult to match z 50/1.8 and 85/1.8 very good and cheap lol. and its 35/1.4 and 50/1.4 are good and very cheap lol

Great tips. I went from outside portraits to studio shoots about a year ago. What a freakin’ difference!!!I went from 2 soft boxes and a strobe to 9 available lights. Lighting options in the studio 🤯. I used to stress and sweat like crazy. Actually the model was great she said “calm down …you are good …do your thing”. Good topic outside of gear. My tip that work for me is share posing suggestions with the model before the session. I want rapport before the shoot. I don’t want the first interaction to be the shoot. Models have a vision of what makes them look best. I never touch the model. Good advice

Great Video very informative. The great attraction with the Fuji GFX is adapting Blad lenses (and others). Especially for people who own a few! I agree the tilt shift adaptor is probably th most versatile. Subscribed!

A couple of years ago, I realized that Fuji has left the small compact lenses market. A new 18mm f/2 will not come, I am sure. Their lenses gets bigger and bigger. And so does their bodies. And since they apparently also can't decide if the x-pro line will continue, I sold all my Fuji gear. I still miss the x-pro2 though. I loved Fuji for that series. And their x100v. Those cameras were the Fuji soul for me. Now they are trying to make a Sony or Nikon clone. But with aps-c sensors in almost as big bodies and lenses. Don't really get it...

Maybe they update it paired with the X-Pro 5. Your version also came out with an X-Pro I think...

At 12:55, when you comment on the EVF and low-light focus, you're at f9, ISO 125 and 1/200th, in a studio that's evidently quite dark - the EVF increases the ISO to focus, which is why it looks like that, and you have a moving subject that's not always looking at the camera. I can't help to think you're either expecting too much in this situation, or it's artificially created for some reason...

Just picked up the C220. Great images, great camera! I shoot mostly scenic images but would love to try portraits!

I use the 18mm 1.4.

The 18f2 is one of my favourite lenses for everyday shooting, I pair it with the 27mmf2.8 or 35mmf1.4. But I really do wish they would update it, the age is showing and the focusing is really nothing to brag about.

....du machst super Fotos! DANKE 👍👍👍

Doesn't seem quite fair to rip on edge wear on fuji metal bodies but not mention that so many Canon bodies are plastic.

I have a studio shoot coming up next week with my RB67 😬

Very fairly summarized! I agree about every single of your points - subscribed :)

Is it ok for 300usd, almost unused?

There is a clear distinction between a lens that is weather sealed and a lens that has a rubber gasket at the back. Canon lenses with weather sealing (most L lenses as well as the RF28-70 2.8, RF200-800) have seals throughout the lens (including the gasket at the mount). Many lenses (most Sigma contemporary lenses for instance) that have the gasket at the back are by themselves not weather sealed, meaning water and dust can still very much get into the lens, just not at the mount.

I loved mine on the X-M1 and X-E4 but recently sold it to part fund the Sigma 10-18mm on my new X-S20.

That is long overdue for a makeover. The 18 1.4 WR lens is excellent, but it’s a tad too big. I wouldn't buy the 18F2 for $599, either. My favorite Fuji lens is the 32 1.8 Zeiss Touit, followed by the 23 1.4 WR.

So I shoot the GFX100, EOS R5 and EOS Ra. I find I shoot the GFX100 the vast majority of the time, but the one the thing I wish it had was the sensor shutter to protect the sensor when you change out the lenses because as you say, it’s a dust magnet

Hi Keviin.....is it possible to install and tighten this filter so that the HOOD it stays straight and level?. Or dose the HOOD have to be straighten every time the ca,era is used? Thanks for the clarification....and thanks for the review!

Do you think the Fuji XF18mm f/2 is long in the tooth? Is it time for a new version? Is it your favorite lens? Do you prefer another? Tell me below.

So, that was 4 use scenarios you went over, but we only have C1-3 on Canon cameras. Do you have a secret way to store more than 3 custom modes? 😉

Thanks for this, really interesting and helpful. I am tuning my XH setup right now :-) I also have the GFX100S so would be interested to understand how your GFX setup varies from your XH setup - given the differing button config on these. Love your work!

Thanks for the great video. Do you have any suggestions on lenses for taking low light night/city scenery?

Which Firmware are you using? My command dial looks different and I am on version 7.0

Nice video

I shoot weddings on my Xh2s, I usually have a Viltrox 27mm for most of the day. I like having the Sports Finder Mode on a button, so I can punch in a bit if I need a “tighter” focal length in a pinch. It works great if I’m on the 75mm and I still need even more 😂

I just got the pro s will this tutorial work as well?

How do you like to set up your Fuji X-H2 or X-H2S? Tell me about it below.

I've never done Studio or Portrait but those are definitely very good tips, thanks!. I bought the RF85 1.2L recently so I could dabble in Portrait with my friends at some point and see how I get on, see if I can get my head around it.

R7 is brilliant and now I have got used to the thumb wheel at the top, I wouldn't want it anywhere else. I wish Canon made a full frame with the R7's ergonomics but happy with the R7 for wildlife photography anyway....it is a total bargain for what you get for the price. Best value camera by Canon and possibly in the market as a whole.

Late to this party (video)... thanks Kevin for an excellent review! Your examples are stunning. I just ordered this lens to pair with my R5 and I am anxiously waiting....

Have you compared charging times between the charger being plugged in into a power outlet and a power bank? Thank you, very nice vide/review.

Do you have a video on how to use flash with the R5ll?

Yes! 100 MP of Gabby. So amazing

What are your favorite studio photography tips? Tell me about it!

I've had my 503Cx since 1990 and it's been my main camera since then. No issues with it, not been serviced, no regrets and worth more today than what I paid for it. However, I do prefer my Rolleiflex 2.8f for street photography and really close portraits.

They sent me one last week by & I’ve just sent them an email telling them I think it’s faulty because the hood didn’t line up!😂 after seeing your review maybe it’s not faulty haha I don’t think they’ll like my review haha! It can’t be that hard to either build in a locking & unlocking feature to the hood so you can lock it in the level position or how about just engineer the thread & hood to line up where it needs to be! Imagine having glasses that you had to level up every time you put them on haha! That would be so annoying!

I thought it sounds good! Just ordered one for my R10👍

Did you notice any distortion?

Thanks for this! I ordered a Mamiya C3 just last night with a 135mm lens and I'm stoked to get rolling with it. My 3rd ever film camera and 1st ever medium format camera. Awesome shots!

Awesome lighting system in a small package. Thanks for explaining the menus and color effects.

I am a nature photographer and the R7 and the 100-500L (160-800mm eff. FL) is my dream combo for birding. I have the R5 for everything else (except video), so I've never needed or bought RF-s glass. The combination of IS, IBIS, Digital IS and no 30 minute limit was my obvious choice for movie with my FF RF glass. The R7 has the highest pixel density in Canon's lineup... it has its flaws (read speed - rolling shutter and hunting focus in low contrast, IBIS wobble) but i've been able to produce award winning photos with it. That said, i can't wait for the R7ii so this gem can become my 2nd body for shorter FLs.

I have an Canon R100 camera. I definitely will be adding this 28mm lens to my kit in the future. 28mm x 1.6 = 44.8mm.
