@@jaywbus hey thanks

oh nice man, I'm getting that lens next. Did you do the hike??

@@WILMORENO did you already get it ? I only have the 90v and the 25v. Did not do the hike I was there for the meteor shower

@@adrianjao3078 nah they're never in stock. I wanted the 90 as well. But I sold my zoom and just use the 65 right now. I'm getting my best portraits ever with it so go figure. Had the 80 for a long time as well. Hoping for a 65 25 combo to be all I need. Do you have any of your pics from the meteor shower? I bet it was crowded? Cheers

@@WILMORENO where are you located? Not as crowded as it would be it's such a trek to wake up that early

@@DennisBater the comments say otherwise 🤠

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I haven't had this lens in a long time as I moved to the hasselblad x2d last year. But one thing I learned with mf lenses is that the infinity hard stop was always too far. If you look at the distance chart on your lens make it to where infinity is just at the end of your selected f-stop. Like f11 is probably 1 meter to infinity. Instead of making the infinity symbol dead center. You can google "hyperfocal distance" that should help as well. I learned this the hard way at the grand canyon, I'd just slam my lens all the way to infinity hard stop. When I got home I noticed so many pictures were soft. Oh well, always learning. Thank you for the kind comment and enjoy your camera in good health! -WM

@@WILMORENO thanks for the response 🙏

My right eyeball is trying it's best to crap on me right now. The visoflex made shooting a leica much easier. Also practicing hyperfocal distance goes a long way. Thanks for your comment!

The X2D is like a dream. I still miss my q2 at times just for how small and snappy it was. FWIW the 65mm lens is my favorite and I've tried almost all of them. But every single lens is a stellar performer. They're all best in class, but the 65 is best in show!

@@WILMORENO glad I found your site. I will nab the 65 and possibly the 38 and 90? I did see a great review on the zoom. 35-75.

@@1967McQ I used the zoom for a long time, optically incredible. It's heavy, but pretty much all you'd need. I took it to hawaii and got some of my best landscaped ever. After hiking with it for 13 miles, I sold it for something lighter. My back is still cranky from that hike. I shoot a lot of portraits and that 4.5 wasn't enough light or bokeh for so much of what I was trying to do. Sometimes separating your subject from the background is a nice option. I had the 38 for a spell, took it around my city to do some snap shots. Too many times I wanted something wider. I think the 65 and either 30, 28 or 25 would be a stellar combo. I've been waiting on the 25 to be in stock for months. Also from corner to corner; the 30 is probably the sharpest of the three. However it doesn't focus very close if that matters to you. For the wide angle lens. It's pretty much down to your biggest priority. If you want compact get the 28, fastest aperture and close focus 25, or over all image quality 30. Good luck with your search. The leica felt great in my hand, but the x2d feels even better. Plus, much bigger screen

thank you!

I can do a quick review right here, if you're talking about the X1D Mark II. I like the feel of the X1D body better, but the lenses seem to focus slower on that body. Also the flip screen and image stabilization has been a huge help on the newer model. If you're just doing landscapes/still life you could probably save a lot and get the X1D Mark II. If the X2D is in your budget, I'd just get that and start torturing myself over lens options.

@@WILMORENO ❤️thank you.

@@WILMORENO last question. What about colour science and image quality difference?

@@ozzozz3529 color science is the same, image quality is right on par as well. Of course you get more cropping room with 100 megapixels. But with in body image stabilization, you stand the chance to get more keeper images handheld. Also the X2D has PDAF which works slightly better with the new lenses. There’s rumors of a continuous autofocus firmware update. If that is a new firmware update, the new lenses will be pretty nice to have. Also I forgot to mention, the face tracking on X2D is incredibly nice. It’s not a feature the X1DII has. So if you like to shoot portraits, just get the x2d. From all im seeing, the older XCD lenses have a tendency for better image quality, especially at the edges of the frame. It’s the price you pay for a smaller, lighter lens. I’ve tried the 35-75 28, 38, 55, 65, 80 & 120. While not doing any scientific tests. I did find that I always preferred the older xcd lenses image quality. But I almost broke my back carrying that zoom around Hawaii lol. It’s splitting hairs, but if you want the absolute best image quality I think the X2D with the older lenses is the way to go. But either camera with any of these Hasselblad lenses will give you great results. It’s just about that extra 5-10% Currently I’ve gotten rid of all my lenses except the 65. It focuses as fast as the new lenses from what I remember. In my own opinion the 65 and zoom renders the best quality images from everything I’ve tested. I’m going to test the 30 out next, I believe that could be my kit. The 65 and 30. Also interested in that 25 but I got a feeling the 30 is the way to go. Good luck! -WM

@@WILMORENO thank u so much

@@yogi4fitness what comments

@KonstantinGabriel1978 Thank you. I like to think it's a quality over quantity situation haha

I had 5 total x2d bodies, 2 were perfect. I think they've fixed a lot of issues now. I'd like to take some credit for the quality control, by calling out everything I didn't like. Also I think Hasselblad won't be sending me any units for review because I was a little too honest. RIP my wallet. It's kind of hard to tell right now, it seems hasselblad is listening and trying to fix issues. I just wish their lenses were in stock more often. It's like Rolex. you can buy your favorite model from a reseller, with a hefty markup. No thanks. I used lightroom for both m gfx and x2d. Way way happier with the x2d files. Fuji camera is fine but if you're a perfectionist like me, the x2d creates less headache. in my opinion. the 500 series cameras are great, I'm saving up for xcd lenses, otherwise i'd be shooting film too. thanks for your comment

@NickDelDuca lightroom only. Maybe if I used other programs the fuji would be okay. Hadselblad works perfect though so im still happy

@@WILMORENO Oh yeah man that's 100% your problem, Adobe and Fuji have never played well together. Fuji partners with Capture One and all of the film sims are inside capture one as well as Capture One's Pro Standard profile that they manually create for each camera which IMO is some of the best color you can get out of any camera especially on the GFX files. Adobe is cheap and refuses to work with brands so they keep things proprietary. No one even the camera manufacturers know what happens under the hood of Adobe's raw processing. Adobe just guesses at their profiles which ends up being a complete mess. Not to mention Adobe's raw processing is extremely outdated. It would be too much work to overhaul it since it's integrated into so many things so they haven't fundamentally changed it for years. Unfortunately there's still some bad blood between Capture One and Hasselblad because Capture One used to be owned by Phase One which was one of Hasselblad's main competitors. That's okay with me though because Hasselblad is about done. DJI has driven them into the ground. It's not the same company it was before the acquisition. Most of the pros that were shooting with the H6 have left and their customer service and support is now horrible. I was always thinking my end game would be Hasselblad but DJI ruined that which is super sad. Fuji is a much better company that actually stands behind their products.

@@NickDelDuca damn that all makes sense. also fuji at least replied to my posts when I tagged them on ig lol. I'm pretty sure hasselblad hates me. But, I love this camera and hopefully it'll be supported for a very long time. I really don't want to change systems again

@@WILMORENO Who knows, A lot of people speculate that DJI just bought Hasselblad for some of their lens patents they wanted to use for their inspire drones and don't really care about continuing making cameras. They really screwed over H6D-50C owners because they refuse to do a new run of the 50C backs and they have a high failure rate. So lots of photographers have expensive bricks now. I've also heard wild rumors that DJI is planning on using the Hasselblad brand to enter the full frame market and compete with Sony but with as much as they have been neglecting support of current products I don't see that being the case. Hopefully you don't have any issues with your X2D, I've heard repairs have a 6+ month turnaround and people get their cameras back still broken.

@NickDelDuca im not much into drones but i heard theyre getting heavily regulated. Like some areas law enforcement can override a persons drone signal. Im definitely not a fan of how all the new v lenses are still out of stock. But im pretty much set for now. Thanks for the information

@petrolabkilla I've been using Lightroom for the past 10 years. Stuck in my ways now. I've never even tried to capture one before. I know its been an issue for many. The fuji isnt bad. At least w.fuji you'll have generally better focus. Fwiw i still pick up my x2d just to hold it. Love this camera

The X2D is my favorite camera ever. I tested everything worth trying. It's a little slow and a little heavy but it's a dream to own. And the photos have a certain X factor that keeps me wanting to use it. Thanks!

It's up to the user. I went BACK to the X2D after using the GFX100II for a while. I like the build of the hasselblad better. I generally get better colors in the x2d as well. i wish hasselblad had a 110 f2 lens like that fuji. It's a toss up. I personally like the X2D better.

@@WILMORENO I just ordered the X2D + 38XCDV + 90XCDV luckily the Hasselblad website had 90mm in stock.

I like the X2D better. The fuji is still fine but when you're spending this kind of money, the camera really has to sing to you. thanks

@ignaciocruzatcorrea3595 yeah I agree, thanks

Everyone that's held my x2d has commented on how nice it feels in the hand. I still dont miss my fuji at all

You have no idea what you're talking about. Respectfully

@@WILMORENO ok buddy. It's the same Sony sensor on both. be well

@davida5296 you too buckeroo

@@WILMORENO if you want any more information, it's available on the web. It's the same sensor and the readout times are better on the Fuji. Now with the gfxs ii it's not even a close comparison with the x2d. The one thing the Hass does have over the Fuji system is the leaf lenses so conceivably, if you needed to synch and really high speeds, you could. I can point you to some good learning material if you need

@@davida5296 sounds like you should make you own video

Hah thanks, I still do not miss the Fuji one bit.

Hey man, you're totally right. This one kinda got away from me. I had a perfect take but a wardrobe malfunction that was super distracting. That led me into a million other takes, and it got a little messy. Thanks for watching. X2D is a beauty. And my back aches like a 40 yr olds!

Definitely underwhelming quality control. I'll probably never get sent their newest stuff to review because of my transparency. maybe I should've rethought this approach 😅. I'd rather them see their customers have high standards. Thanks for watching!

thank you very much

I really believe that was Clark coming down from heaven. Couldn't have picked a prettier day for a miracle. I'm doing well and spoiling my pups very much these days. Thank you for the kind words.

This is my 5th X2D body. I tried 3 used and 2 new. I have no shame in returning a $8,200 camera if it's defective. I don't know where you live but b&h has been great at accepting returns.

@@WILMORENO Thx for you answer did you ended find one with no defect? and yes I buy from B&H the problem with them is if u r on backorder you better go to other store

@@yossishtekler7599 Yes this one is perfect. To be fair the 3rd body I got was also perfect. I just thought I wanted a gfx100ii when it came out. So I sold that X2D

Thanks for watching and the sub! With the grip/armor/zoom lens; my X2D weighs right under 6 lbs. I've gotten used to it but people definitely comment on how heavy the camera is if they hold it. The hike definitely hurt my back but I believe it was mostly from a poor fitting backpack. Anytime I traveled with primes, I always felt like I had the wrong lens on the camera. So I'd spent a lot of time swapping/second guessing. And I really don't want to expose this giant sensor to the elements. I had the 38 and 55. The 55 looked so good on the camera, and the 38 would be my go to lens if just 1 prime. But sometimes I needed just a little more in the frame. The zoom is really a hell of a lens.

It may have contributed. I shot some portraits a coupled days ago with the x2d and that godox. I still prefer the hasselblad images

Thank you very much for the kind words & compliment. Congrats on your new X2D, enjoy it in good health. My pups name is Luna, she's 9 years old now. But, at 2.2kgs I still consider her a puppy. They really are the best of us. Thank you again for the thoughtful comment.

@@WILMORENO You seem like a hell of a nice guy, Wil. You have a very honest, straightforward way about you. I hope this channel becomes everything you wish for.

I did switch to Fuji once that hfx100ii was announced. Then went right back to hb. Ive got a video "gfx100ii vs x2d" going into details. Fuji looks good on paper, HB wins in image quality. And that's what matters most to me. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment

Did you know that the rest of maui is a different temperature?

Thank you for your comment. Im currently using the 35-75 and have no real issues w.autofocus. The only bummer about the live view is that you can't use the self timer. So, no selfies unless you want to be holding your phone/ipad in the picture. I had trouble with the 80 1.9 af in the past. I need to get my hands on a portrait lens soon so I can have a solid stance. Thanks again!

I got my degree in flexography in 2007. I was running printing presses and using a spectrodensitometer back then. In this video I mention color calibrating my fuji sensor with 2 different professional tools... Lastly, I bought alien skin exposure back in 2013.

Hey! thanks for checking in. Absolutely, the camera is magic. Im about 90% done w.the new video. I need to figure out a more efficient way to make yt videos.

it's absolutely incredible for landscapes. in my opinion there's no better landscape camera at the moment. working on a video about that now. Since the weather is getting nicer, I'll be doing some portrait shoots w/it. I don't want to say yet until I have a solid opinion. Thank you for watching

@@WILMORENO Your content is very good and thanks for responding.

I'm still chasing that 110 high. Glad to hear we have similar thoughts. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hey thanks for your question. I didnt use capture one. Ill say that after calibrating the sensor with the passport color checker. The calibrated sensor profile yielded much better results in LR. But my grand canyon stuff was still way below standards, even with the sensor calibration. Just got back from Hawaii with the x2d. Its insane how much better of a perfomer the x2d is when it comes to image quality. These images are my favorites after 30 years of photography. Working on that video now.

@@WILMORENO thank you for reply. I set myself to GFX100II because of eye tracking. It works really fine. Not so good as R5 of cause, but decent. For landscapes I think I would go for Hasselblad too because of colors

At 08:18 that picture of the dock and then model is the same location. I dont have the gfx anymore 🤷

That's the thing about Hasselblads that even tho the process of taking pics is simpler the post is more complex. Also the newer XCD lenses are essentially full frame lenses adapted to MF sensor. Horrible vignetting that sacrifices corner dynamic range. GF glass is big and ugly but it's a league above the new XCD glass so when someone talks about better IQ from the Hasselblad I SMH. And then you ask them what is this X factor they talk about, they struggle to explain it. Talk about the Halo effect.
