So stoked to see you with the Hasselblad. Definitely one of the most underrated creators on this platform and surprised that you aren’t 1M+. Keep up the great content!
Even though I have some basic filters, I haven’t made a habit of using them. But seeing some of the results you’re getting, and knowing how Hasselblad likes to render those colors, it’s making me reconsider. Especially just throwing on a CPL for nature stuff. Nice video!
I get it, sort of part of the joys of needing to put thing together in the backend and waiting for approval on things. Originally was going to just make a video simply taking photos in the mountains, but weather obviously derailed that a bit. The ad read needed to be posted before 11/10 but didn’t get approved until 11/7 so this is the video it made it on to. Generally if obviously like to separate things out more, but it happened to work out this way. I have a future project with Hasselblad, but I was genuinely really excited to take half a day and get some time with it, so I thought it’d be a good opportunity for a video as the Hasselblad and Leica videos are often the first ones I personally click on. Hope that helps make some sense of it.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel the key is if youtube photographers are still using them in 6-9-12months time? When I was researching the X1Dii, I found most had stopped using it and moved back to their original system.
@@jkspepper05 At least Benj still uses his Hasselblad pretty often. I'm also curious how many photographers will still do that in the future and how many Earth Explorer editions will eventually show up on the used market. :D
@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel yeah, I can’t speak for obviously for others, but I use my 907X all of the time and it’s why I reached out to Hasselblad to ask if I could borrow an X2D to compare them. I get a ton of questions about the two and thought I’d have a pretty different perspective from most having used both.
1. I wish Hasselblad had lower f stop lenses to get the true medium format look. 2. I hope the X3D has at least prior gen sony/canon autofocus equivalent for better use with wedding and studio photography with motion.
2.5 and 2.8 and even the 1.9 is still fast as can be. Idk how much faster you really want? These lenses yield amazing results. Shoot portraits with the 135 f2.8 and it looks pretty similar to a 6x7 or 6x6 image out of fill. Love the magnet filter idea just not being able to put the lens cap back on. I have some ND filters for video that are larger than the lens cap but for a walk about camera I prefer to be able to toss on the cap.
@@benjhaisch oh no way! That even more legit then. Just didn’t see it in the video so I assumed it didn’t. The one I have for my Canon 14-35 77mm filter thread and yeah it makes it more like an 82mm lens cap
I dont know who would want faster than 2.5 on this sensor. the lenses yield AMAZING results with a very distinctive look. way different than the fuji offerings (which is why I sold my Fuji and bought the x2d with the 55 and 38)

These filters are incredibly high quality. Matte box quality for smaller cameras and much cheaper
Glad to see you with the HB.
Thanks Benj for the nice review ❤❤❤ Proud to deliever the photos in our best 2k quality ✨✨✨
I love using NiSi Neutral filters. :)
i'll know i made it as a creator when i get sent a camera... especially one as great as this one 😭
Haha I’ve gotten a few over the years but this one is definitely an anomaly.
Amazing content! I’m wondering what lens is on the fx3 in the speaking shots, I don’t recognize it.
It’s the Viltrox 16/1.8
@ Thanks. I’m not very familiar with the brand, I’ll look into them!
@@ryan.9023the Viltrox 75mm F/1.2 is exceptional.
Owning a hasselblad is a dream
Nice review Ben, how is the color shift if you stack the ND with polarise filter or other ND filter?
How are the lenses fitting on your X2D? I rented one to try from Lens Rentals and found there was some noticeable play in the lens mount
I’ve heard that has been an issue on earlier serial numbers but mine is solid as a rock.
Thanks!!! lovely machine
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
but what about the camera?????
Title: Putting filters on Hasselblad X2D
So, is this video sponsored by Lexar, Pexar or maybe even Nisi or Hasselblad 🙄

I was going to purchase the X2D, but with so many being gifted to RUclipsrs, I would feel silly paying $8199 for one....🙃
Hasselblad. The first camera to have a value of $0.00
Hasselblad is giving away the X2Ds like candy right now. :D But cool, I’m looking forward to more content with the camera.

@@jkspepper05 no wonder, it was a shit camera. the x2d is really really good. still slow compared to fuji but i love using it!!!
Too much greatly advertising 👎🏻
Gotta keep the lights on around here somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@benjhaischMaybe sell some of your dozens of cameras and lenses then?
I have 5 lenses for sale right now, the majority of stuff I talk about on this channel I don’t actually own though.
1. I wish Hasselblad had lower f stop lenses to get the true medium format look. 2. I hope the X3D has at least prior gen sony/canon autofocus equivalent for better use with wedding and studio photography with motion.
I’ve definitely pitched some fast primes with no autofocus but still a leaf shutter as artistic lenses.

@ they come with a magnetic cap as well
