Great work Chase! That X2D is beautiful, but when I was looking for MF I ended up going with the 50s II at 25% of the cost. I did the same analysis on focal lengths used and realized that the 20-35 and 45-100 would cover 80% of my most used FLs. I’ll probably never get rid of my 5dsr though because of the ability to go from 11-600mm. That first image of dream lake is a stunner! Great inspiration to get up there
Yeah there are definitely more cost effective ways to get into MF. I have a friend with your same camera and he’s getting awesome results. Hard to go wrong with the upgrade in sensor size!
@@scotttuckerphotography agreed. Definitely my favorite winter hiking I’ve ever done. Been wanting to go back to do Chasm Lake but lots of warnings online about avalanche risk in winter
@@colintraveller lens selection is limited but getting better, but you are right that is a potential weakness of the Hasselblad system depending on how you shoot. For my purposes I’ve found 3-4 primes is more than sufficient
@cbphoto87 Even more ironic for such an expensive camera . It has no Auto iso on manual mode .. Yet only 1 user has mentioned this whilst every other hasn't ..
@@colintraveller if you’re looking for a feature packed camera this probably isn’t what you’re looking for. The price tag on the Hasselblad is for a minimalist UI with the best image quality and color science out there. Fantastic for landscapes and studio work. Might not be ideal for your use case. I personally never use auto iso as I shoot nearly exclusively on a tripod
I got the Really Right Stuff one. More pricey than I’d like but it fits perfectly and allows good access to the battery. I worry the universal ones would give you issues with access.
Congrats on your choice of the Hasselblad X2D, wonderful images from the X2D.The X2D will be my next camera.
I love this hike. My wife and I make this hike multiple times a year. We spend multiple weekends in Estes as Place to get away. Love the photos.
Beautiful images, Hasselblad colours are exceptional
The back to real life part is always tough. Great shots and tones from the X2D.
Great images. That extra work and exertion paid off.
Thanks for making this video, Chase. Keep it up, mate.
Great video and conditions in the mountain 👍❄️

Great job and great photo!
This is incredible...we did this same loop this summer, Winter in Estes/RMNP is unlike anything else in the US.

Someday I will visit and I'll make sure to pack my Fujifilm 100s for some spectacular photography.
stay safe bro beautiful shots this is my dream camera!
Amazing video!
Gracias
nice video keep going!!!
Sold my X2D a month ago and bought Leica SL3 - Hope it is not a mistake, lol
@@lighthunteralp never shot with Leica but I’ve heard great things
Excellent
I know this video is 9 months old . There is a lot of lenses missing from the Hassleblad line up for me to even purchase that brand .

No bears and wolves at 1:33 ?
What is the L bracket you set up on your x2d ?
I got the Really Right Stuff one. More pricey than I’d like but it fits perfectly and allows good access to the battery. I worry the universal ones would give you issues with access.
Poor answer to the question, sadly
Aren't there any bears there? How can you protect yourself if you encounter a bear?
Black bears. Not very common though and generally not a threat. I only worry about bears in grizzly country.
