วีดีโอ

I have owned Nikon cameras for many decades. I currently have a D800, D810, three D850s, and a lot of Zeiss and Nikon 'gold ring' lenses. I use these Nikons for more fast pace photography. However, when I really want to elevate my enjoyment and feel more connected with the photography experience, I grab my Hasselblad camera and lenses, my RRS tripod, slow down, use manual mode, become more methodical and intention, and carefully composed each shot. For me, this results in a greater connection to, and pride in, the gorgeous final Hasselblad images.

Starting with the short answer in the first 5 seconds? Good lord, that's something

Rarely i comment on a video but man i love your portraits and i will like to see more of them, do you post on instagram?

Очень достойное видео!

One more point: No flash if the electronic Shutter is used with adapted glass.

13k? wow!

EVFs for large sensors aren’t fit for purpose. An optical viewfinder would eliminate that EVF lag nonsense that some confuse with a ‘purposeful shooting approach,’ which could be avoided by keeping the optical one.

I think onset, photographers and videographers are super unsung heroes because I can’t tell you how inspired I’ve been to make movies while watching the behind-the-scenes in the bloopers and the stuff going on behind-the-scenes in the movie process. I honestly obviously I like the movies themselves, but watching people make movies behind-the-scenes is very inspiring and I think whoever captures that is to be praised and blessed.

Oli, thoroughly enjoyed your video and your style of presenting it. well done!

I’d love to get this one but 95% of my shots are sports and music concerts. So I need fast shutter and lowlight. Canon r6mk2 ftw.

How about the HC & HCD lenses? The older loose AF function, while the more recent Orange dot/square should be fully compatible. HC also cover a larger sensor. Obviously AF will become even slower, but the retain central shutter function

I am always excited to watch your videos! Thank you for a great one again!

when I had an x1dii i used an adapted hcd 100mm f2.2 using the xh adapter from Hasselblad. That lens truly produced amazing results. Incredible bokeh. I still miss using that setup. But as far as adapting other lenses it is a big no for me using Hasselblad. I am on the fence about getting another, the x2d, or getting a gfx and being able to adapt all types of lenses. I prefer the color science on the Hasselblad though.

Exactly how I experience and thanks for the friendly reminder workaround, accompanied by great photos, always excited whenever u have new video!

Huzzleblad should adopt your pronunciation!

🤓 Can I ask you all a favour? If you enjoy this video, could you please hit the like button it helps me out big time. Appreciate you all!

Hello is the focus slow like it hunts at time

Same experience here Oli. When shooting third pary glass is your thing the GFX system works better. The hassie I shoot mostly with xcd glass 👍🏼

Adapting the lens is truly one of the biggest downfalls of this camera. I also try to adapt the V lens to the X2D, and the hassle and frustration are just not worth the final image.

Love how you put this together, Oli! Your shots look great. Insightful points 👏

What a video! Structure, flow, visuals, sound. Beauty!

Leica M11 has better colour than X2D?

Im definitely sharing this with my high school commercial photography class!!!❤

Cool take. Wish you made similar video about Leica SL3

haha, now i have a name ''Im a Sharpness colour Peeper'' ,x2d100 . love my 21 65, 80 and 90 , get exiting of it .its magic every time ......especially that 80.regards.

Well..there is a lot of people this camera is not suited for. Me, on the other hand, it is. Looking for the best quality images out there, and just looking at the cameras esthetiques..oh man..Just bought into Sony again but this Hasselblad is probably the kind of camera I want to retire myself with. Just for the joy, the passion of photography, how it makes you feel and the way of life.

Definitely for me. If you can fall in love with a camera and marry it, that would be my soul mate. Beautifully executed video. And your voice is amazing.

As someone who is seriously considering the X2D, your take is pretty good indeed. Well worth a watch, folks.

I used to own the 35mm Summilux FLE that I later sold for the pre-FLE; other than a crappy lens hood, I it's great; I love the way it draws.

The reason I bought a v3 of the 75mm Summilux is that it came factory 6-bit coded and apparently was tuned for digital vs film. The focus of my copy has always been spot on for portraits closer to minimum focus distance. Like you, this is also my favorite lens.

What’s the other lens you wouldn’t sell?

Don't you find the sensor format limiting?

I'll stick with my original X1d I picked up for £1,700. I'll bet my camera that 90% of X2D owners only put their photos on line and never print.

I love your editing! Would be great to know how you do it! Epic man! Suberb video! Thank you🙏🏻

Best review of SL2s cameras, very accurate, very honest, very practical good job

A good introduction to the Hasselblad X2D Oli. Thank you! I am not its target audience. I shoot on a Nikon Nikomat film camera and the Hasselblad 503cx (again, film). All I want next is a fast action type camera, with a long lens to shoot Eider Ducks and Puffins. Perhaps, that Nikon Z9, with the Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 TC lens. Of course, I have to be cautious, as I don't want the G.A.S to get me. Muahahahahaha! Commenting to boost the Al(Gore)Rhythm.

I own the Hx2d since it get on the market and was using the x1d2 also. Since i got my Leica M11P with 3 of the best Leica lenses. I dont use my Hasselblad anymore. I can print very large size with 60 MP files as good as the 100mp including 16 bits colours.

Hi man! Was looking forward to this one. Nice way to analyse the target user group(s) for this camera. I just released my second experience with it, in combination with the 25V wide angle. th-cam.com/video/ofCfULJUCmo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6PjrBEWEqusWQuUC

Which software and computer you use to edit ?

I own the Sony A7RV, Leica m11. Yesterday I got the x2d and 38mm and it is fantastic

Nice photos, where are you located? Australia?

I 100% agree, I love my x2d and all the v lenses.

Nicely done. Thanks.
