Having shot with the Hasselblad X2D with the 55mm f2 and the 90mm, I can relate how you felt. It has a very professional feel, one of smooth, slick and yet makes you feel you're in control, hence why you slow down and shoot each shot with intention. I liked what you shot as the colours were popping and the final image of the model skin tone... brilliant.

As someone who owns a Hasselblad mirrorless system let me just say that the EVF is really detailed and sharp. With that said if you shoot at narrow apertures you can just manual focus and if your image looks sharp in the EVF your image will come out sharp.

I borrowed it from a friend, nothing special about your EVF compared to Canon

@jean-claudemuller3199 11 ай бұрын

You have to use back-button AF so the camera doesn't refocus at every release and it becomes much much faster. At apertures used in studio it's nonsense to refocus each shot. You have only to refocus with a back button press when the model or the photographer moves.

@forgewire 11 ай бұрын

@@jean-claudemuller3199 I have an eye continuous focus on my Canon. Why I should dedicate extra button for a “back button” ? For the price you paid your camera should be able to talk to the models, assist with their poses and shoot through the walls

Which profoto air remote did you use? Did they also made an air remote TTL for Hasselblad?

@jean-claudemuller3199 11 ай бұрын

Hasselblad X1D's and X2D work with a Nikon licensed i-TTL system. All todays TTL flashes and TTL transmitters for Nikon work on these Hasselblad cameras. Personally I use Nikon i-TTL flashes, Elinchrom Nikon TTL transmitter, Profoto Nikon TTL transmitter, some Profoto A1 for Nikon flashes

I used the Canon Profoto Air remote as I control my flash manually, if you wanted use TTL you'd need a Nikon Air Remote to use on the Hasselblad

Great video! Why was your shutter speed low

@piotrlisowski2012 Жыл бұрын

because in studio if there's no ambient light, flash duration is the shutter speed. Just google phrase "flash duration" and you'll get a lot of sources to learn about it

@ianhippolyte Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I could've put it higher because as mentioned, the camera syncs with flash up to 1/2000s, but I'm just used to shooting with it quite low on other cameras and tbh it doesn't make much difference!

You should try GFX 100s - it's faster than X2D, it got eye-tracking AF and got overall better ergonomics with controls outside instead putting them in menu like Hasselblad did.

Love the images you produced. Fantastic. Absolutely agree with you with the whole 4/3 aspect ratio thing. I can't stand 3/2 these days. As for the camera. Hmm, interesting. Hassy is obviously sending this kits out to various photographers that KZfaq, and across multiple photographic genres. I wonder if they are trying to offload stock of those lenses (when the X2D was released, Hassy announced a new series of lenses). The Hassy is a beautiful work of art, great ergonomics. But the lower cost, more flexible focal plane shutter, and the fact that you can tether with Capture One or Lightroom, I can't help but feel the Fujifilm GFX100S is the "better" system. That said, I understand why historically Capture One never supported Medium Format cameras except for those made by Phase One; Phase One used to own Capture One. But since Capture One was spun off into an independent company, they've added Fujifilm medium format support. Why can't they do the same for Hassy?
