Excellent video. How are the jpegs straight out of the camera? Thanks

I’ve watched so many videos on the X2D and this has be the most enjoyable one of all. It’s like he’s speaking to my photographic soul.

Hi! Appreciate your videos and photos! Question; which Voigtlander 21mm? The ultron 1.8 or the newer 1.4? Thinking of getting one of them. Leaning towards the new 1.4, but really into keeping weight low, by every gram possible.. thanks!

How do you feel now end of 2024, BC this is on super sale. I’m considering.

Fantastic review

I'm not a Leica person... I have however, owned a Leica IIIf with 50/90mm Elmars since the 1970's. In the 1990's I had a brief dalliance with a Leica R5 & 28/50/135mm lenses before letting them go to a friend, whose recent sad demise resulted in their reacquisition. Earlier I had adapted the LTM Elmars for use with a Fujifilm X-Pro2, & tried less successfully to do the same with the "R" lenses. (They were just too big/clumsy for the Fuji body). However at a recent camera show I tried & then purchased an original used SL... Wow, what a revelation! There may never be a perfect camera but within minutes & a dozen shots I become as attached to this camera, as have the "R" lenses! I never took the Leica hype too seriously before. Having relatively poor eyesight I found using (but not handling!), the M2 RF a real pain. But the beauty & simplicity of the SL cameras form & the images it creates have now made it (over the last 6 months) an inseparable part of my photographic kit! (BTW, try the Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm kit zoom, for some lightweight auto focus fun!)

What did you use to record this video

I started my photographic career with a 500cm in 1968 and I am a proud owner of an X2D with 6 lenses. You are very correct in that this camera is not for the fast shooting crowd but for the methodical print orientated photographers. Love your episode more please.

Great video - horrible font chose! 😄 I love my new X2D shooting mostly portraits.

The one that can afford it..

It’s a awesome camera. Sensor corrosion is a big problem tho on these.

No.

Merci beaucoup mec. J'ai regardé ta vidéo 10 fois (ou 20, ou 30...), en me disant que l'objectif ne fait pas tout, tu es tres bon et tes post traitements sont parfait. Je suis allé voir sur Flickr et il y a aussi beaucoup de petits chats et de bouquets de fleurs à mamie. Donc j'ai attendu que le coup de GAS passe, mais les notifications pour des annonces d'objectifs d'occasions ont entretenu le feu, j'ai finalement acheté un 80/1,4 Leica R (apparemment identique et un peu moins cher), et il est effectivement véritablement FABULEUX. 🙏

You are sweating too much pushing this camera. Did you buy it or was it a loan from them? Let’s review the facts: Hasselblad was almost bankrupt a few times. At present, is wholly owned by DJI, a Chinese company. The body is still assembled in Sweden but all the internal guts are made in China with cheap parts. The lenses are made by unknown companies and branded Hasselblad (cheaply made, read reviews). If you need customer support for repair, you need to send it back to Sweden and they have to contact DJI for parts. In the end, you spend a LOT of money for a Chinese product with limited support and questionable quality. More than half of the price is the brand. Go buy them…😊.

Great video, really useful. Only one point… use a mic that’s better suited for studio voice because listening to this on a tv has far too much bass.

I'm neither of those but I'm sold

Love your videos and the way you present and comment the gear. Always a highlight !

Selling mine if anyones interested, stuck evf but world great otherwise

The quality of your review is close to that of this Lens , amazing on my M11 monochrom . Which 35 mm Mandler would best match with the 75 1.4 to make a coherent pair in terms of renderind , especially in black and white ?

Curious regarding what small sling bag that you use that fits the SL2S with M-lens fitted.

Another Stella video. Superb. Only wish someone was doing what your doing for the olympus noctilux tryptic. Thoroughly enjoyed this. :)

Love the video! You mentioned "one of two lenses you'd never sell" - whats the other one? :)

Still today the best M for me

well….if I had not already bought this camera, I would now.

What combination of adapters would you use to using a Nikon Z-lens to the X2D? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Do you know if it's possible to add an click or beep to the electronic shutter to get an audible feedback when the shutter is pressed?

Danke!

did u try any Xpan lenses with the adaptor?

My "Gold Standard" the Leica MD 262. What else? I`ve shot film for 30 plus years and this digital camera encapsulates both worlds in one body...!

any autofocus adapters? specifically canon ef to hasselblad?

Amazing video, the way you speak and how you managed to record your voice and put it in harmony with background music is just extraordinary. Some epic edit!

you mentioned you would consider getting the native xcd 80mm 1.9. Wondering if you’ve given the newer xcd 90mm 2.5 a consideration? Why choose one over the other since you mentioned the 80mm?

Nice review. And you have helped me make up my mind. I will be buying Fuji MF rather than the Hassie. As magnificent as the X2D is, I need more flexibility.

Total got to agree with that 12:33 it’s. User experience is off the charts

First video to actually help me decide whether or not to buy this camera (versus an "ordinary" full frame). Thanks!

Thank you for the comprehensive look. Some Leica lenses take years to fully appreciate-unfortunately I typically appreciate them years after I already sold them when looking back through photos. And then I realize everyone else appreciates them now, as well, and price is 10x. Never sell a good condition Leica lens. That’s my advice. lol This old Leica fan learned some things from your presentation-thank you! I have never owned this lens, typically jumping to the 90s as I often shot on the M3 (no frame lines). And the 90/2 is SO good. But having a M body with frame lines now, and appreciating the softer, more micro contrasty look, additionally everyone around me is aging.. I really need to get one of these before they blow up.

Loved the approach to your video. Thanks for this.

On the price point I think is reasonable as a full frame Leica m11-D without a screen is more expensive 😅

Very well presented. Learned a few things :) thank you Ollie!

This is my favorite subject in photography. I am adapting Hasselblad V (CF and F) series lenses on my Nikon FF mirrorless bodies. It is simply amazing what you can do with MF glass . I am shooting always in Manual mode with aperture priority setting on my Nikons. Most of images have little to no chromatic aberration. The other advantage I noticed is the fact that the image circle of MF is much larger than FF(old 35). This means that my camera sensor is cropping the sharpest part of the image circle. I have only a couple of Z native lenses, but most of my work is done with Hasselblad adapted lenses. I will not go back in spite of losing the autofocus option!

Its a defined emotional experience. I think the camera is less clinical feeling than most camera systems. Ive recently purchased the New Limited Edition model with the 55 lense. Im waiting for Adorama to get them in stock then i will get mine sent. Im 61 and -had many different cameras in my day. The Hasselblad has always eluded my budget....but not this time. Im like a kid in a candy shop waiting for Christmas to arrive. I too will be printing my images on my Epson printer. Living in cyberspace is no place to leave your beautiful works. Great video with intelligence and feeling.

Hi Oli, what you take on this vs Voigtlander Heliar Classic 75mm f/1.8 VM? thanks!

again great content! thank you!

OMG this is the best video so far on this topic! I'm lucky to get a X2D with about 65% of MSRP, and I'm having a hard time to build on the lenses system to use on this camera, they are so expensive, this is exactly what I need! thank you ! and followed!

It truly is wonderful lens. A pilot doesn't begin flying in an aircraft capable of Mac-2 + In fact, to understand flight, one starts with homemade gliders, I mean kids stuff, toys. When of age, a single engine 2-seater. .. and so on. The .95 Noctilux is something to work up to, having mastered f2. Thanks for this presentation. Spot on. 👌 ▪︎ A major factor in an items pricing is the economy of scale. The cost of R&D and 'tooling up' must be recovered, whether it's for 500 units, or 50,000. For those who can utilise this lens's properties to the fullest, of course it is worth every penny. 🤝

Better then a xpro3?

Definitely the best and most nuanced review of the X2D.
