I never comment on KZfaq videos but I think you’ve done Hasselblad an incredible service here. Honestly, this videos is no doubt selling cameras and lenses for them. They should make you a brand ambassador just for this incredible video - a one of a kind on KZfaq and the only truly useful lens guide for the system I’ve been able to find. Extremely well done. Most importantly, excellent photography. Your urban decay work is an inspiration and I hope you return to producing some videos on MF / ‘bald gear.

Andrew, great reviews and I totally agree with your assessments. I currently own the 45p, zoom, 80mm & 135 + extender. Surprisingly to me I use the 45p the most...it's SO small and compact and a dream to use I just leave it attached to my X1D sling it over my shoulder and take it EVERYwhere. I hardly even notice I have it on...and can just sling it around when something captures my eyes. I never thought I'd be SO happy with it. Anyway, keep up the good work and look forward to more of your content. Cheers, Wes

@danielscheerer3032 Жыл бұрын

I know this is an old video now, but it is STILL the best Hassy video out there - thanks SO much for doing it. I owned the 907x for a while and LOVED it, but due to a couple of weaknesses, traded it for a GFX 50SII. Big mistake. All cameras have weaknesses, but while the Fuji is a wonderful workhorse, it is also so heavy, particularly carrying it with multiple lenses, not to mention it's lack of inspiration,so I just stopped enjoying and using it. I'm now going BACK to the 907x and have to wade through the (expensive!) lens options, so this video is helping me figure out my path through. At this stage, I wonder if they have any plans to add to the collection. Only time will tell - thanks for your contributions here!

One of the first things that I did when I purchased an X1D system is change the aperture in the menu settings to 'Full' instead of 'Normal', so when I shoot wide open the 'bokeh balls' are round and not hexagonal shaped, did some tests, and its still very sharp at the 'Full' setting.

This video is so useful its beyond explanation. Manufacturers should really have insight to give all the lenses to one reputable KZfaqr to examine them like Andrew Goodcamera did. Information like this, particularly about the sharpness, removes so much uncertainty when one is making very expensive decisions.

Great review. I agree the 80mm 1.9 is up there with the 75 noctilux or even better. The way it captures, the insane diffuse bokeh, and the color rendering it delivers with the 907x is amazing. I have many m, sl, and x series lenses, and honestly this is my fav of them all.

Really interesting! I love the “rural decay” photographs that you made! I, too, chose the 45/f4 P and the 80/f1.9 due to the shocking contrast and micro contrast both provide, the 80mm “look”, and I’m considering the 30/f3.5.

What a great review idea and execution. I'm really grateful for this review. First time around I tried the X1D v1 with 45/3.5 and 90/3.2 and though I loved the form factor, found the camera not fully implemented well, and the lenses so-so. But this time around, with lenses like the 45P and 80/1.9, together with the moderate upgrades in the v2 (and 907X), the system is back on the radar. Your review is super helpful! Also, great work. I like your project. Will you publish a book?

@AndyMillerPhotoUK 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this vid and the work you put into the research. I bought my X1DII at the start of lockdown in the UK having been a lifetime Nikon shooter. I now own one body and 6 of these plus a 300mm H series and the XH adapter. the 85mm/1.9 is extraordinary, but then so are the 120 & 135 (with its T/C). In relation to the XCD glass and X1D II I agree with your overall conclusions -- I do not use mine stopped down beyond f/16 -- Having tested the sensor on the X1D and given it an overall score of 102, I asked DXO MARK if they would test some/all of the XCD lenses -- I would like to see dispersion levels measured and YES as you found f/22 is likely to be less than green. With focus stacking and all the other ways to shoot I wonder why anyone needs to stop down beyond the best performance range for a lense -- diffraction and other effects always come into play when shooting "overly" closed down.

I have the 45p and the 90mm as they were the two most affordable (and sensible pair) out of the bunch. I’ve been enjoying them. However, I feel like the 45p hunts like crazy, even for the slightest adjustments. The 90mm autofocus is way more confident. When I do get perfect focus though, muah, chef’s kiss. I am eyeing that 135mm + teleconverter as well. As for those who are discussing the price... it ain’t cheap but it’s not unaffordable. I’m just a sales associate in a big box retailer (pay was recently upped to $15/hr); I have a mortgage; I don’t have a partner to help me financially. And I bought the X1D II with the two lenses. Just plan out your finances. You’ll be surprised at how much you can afford when you do some good planning. For those saying that the system isn’t “worth it” are just envious.

@havocproltd 3 жыл бұрын

I really appreciate your comment. I have a pair of D850's and a boatload of Nikon glass and yet, I just pulled the trigger on a X1D ii with a 45p. I CAN afford this stuff and it's STILL ridiculous! I'm not really a "pro" but I do cash a check for some photo work once in a while. I got tired of being envious. But rentals are cheap so that's MY plan for deciding on more lenses. Of course, if that adapter for Nikon lenses ever becomes available again and it works.....

Thanks for the video. X1D II is a beautiful camera with great colors. I would go with 45mm F4 and 80mm F1.9 if I buy the system.

I am using GFX100 with 45mm F2.8 and 110mm F2 lenses which are amazing. I am waiting for upcoming GF 80mm F1.7.

also Andrew, with the release of the 907x this also uses these lenses, so it makes sense to have a good review of these, esp. since you want to be sure of what you want, as these are so expensive, any mistake can quite literally be very costly indeed! also as these lenses fit on both bodies, makes the x1D a great "outdoors" companion camera to the 907x as this body(907x) is not weather sealed, so having one that is, which uses the SAME lenses, totally a no-brainer if you have the money, that is :-)) one more point, in reference to the statement above, Hasselblad Should offer BOTH bodies and some of these lenses in a KIT TOGETHER, so if you have need of both studio & outdoor shooting, can have it both ways.
