Love the video. The X2D is a dream camera for me. I just don’t have a use case for it. I need to make money from shooting with it if I were to invest in this kit. That said, the LUMIX S5II, significantly less expensive, has an XPAN mode as well and it’s a full-frame 24MP mirrorless. You take a look at that camera and possibly do a comparison between the two. Get the Sigma 24-70MM f2.8 Art MkII for the S5II and call it a day.
So many nice cameras to choose from. More cameras and brands should provide these multiple crop factors in the EVF. A lot of fun. I don’t have experience with the LUMIX cameras. But from the feedback I have received, they are incredible value for money 💯
S5II crops to the same aspect ratio but it doesn't give the XPAN look. The XPAN is 24x65mm which is 2x the width of 35mm film or 'full frame' digital. X2D sensor is 70% bigger than full frame so closer to the XPAN "look". It's the same reason why APSC doesn't look like full frame even though they both have 3:2 aspect ratios.
Nice one mate. 👍🏽 Been working on a similar video myself. X-pan mode is one of the most challenging but also fun crop factors to shoot. Very nicely composed at 7:20 by the way. I see what you did there. 🤩
@@berndvandecruys It’s a real pickle. There are some things I love about the X2D others, where the SL is the master. Their child would be the perfect camera. 😂 How about you mate?
@@oliscurra haha a Leicablad, would indeed be a near perfect camera. To me the X2D has something special. The colours straight out of camera. The UI, grip and overall UX is awesome. Within Leica, I still like the M bodies best. I have a M10 monochrome now to try out. There is some magic 🪄 there.
@@berndvandecruys Ooooh cool. You gonna do a video on that right? The monochome? I've never shot one before, so looking forward to hearing your take. What's your main cam at the mo?
@@oliscurra 100% gonna do a video on the monochrome. My plan at the moment is M10 monochrome for digital and M6 / Mamiya 7 for colour. Maybe a crazy idea, but worth a shot 😁
@@berndvandecruys Thank you for reply - Maybe you did not compare it with 55 or 38 or 28P. These three are supper quiet but my 25 has a dry click sound. May be others can comment on this. Cheers
Leuke video met enkele prachtige foto's! Wat ik graag zou zien is de vergelijking met 28mm. Wat is het verschil in kwaliteit en is de upgrade het waard...
Merci 🙏🏻. Dat zou inderdaad een mooie vergelijking zijn. De 28 f4 zou mijn voorkeur genieten omdat ze compacter en lichter is, maar een field test zou heel interessant kunnen zijn
For the time being, I’m gonna hold onto that Mamiya kit 😇. The colour science of the Hasselblad is very nice. Little to no editing was done to the files.
Usually when shooting starry skies, the wider the better. But of course you can use the 38 perfectly fine for night scenes in the city. 🌃 Also the 38 can be used for the xpan crop. It’s all personal choice and taste 💯
Very good picture on 5:16 Bernd!!! Thank you.
Thanks 🙏🏻! That one was also one of my favourites 💯
Great shots! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Fred. Appreciate it ✌🏻

Nice pictures and overview.

🚀💪🏻 Nice shots !
The more I use the X2D, the more I like it 🤩💯

Looking forward to your next video then about the X2D 💯. How do you like the system, compared to the Leica SL one?

Does your 25V make a laud dry click noise when using lens shutter? Thanks.
I only had the lens for a limited time. But can’t remember my copy having a loud shutter. On the contrary, the leaf shutter was super silent.

Not just that one of course 🙂

@@berndvandecruys Ik ben er tevreden over maar toch... is die 25mm beter of niet, that's the ?
so does that mean you are keeping the panoramic adapter for the Mamiya 7? 🙃
good shots, I like the colours this system delivers, solid kit

Why do hassleblad advertise this 25mm lens as for night shooting and they don’t say this about 38mm. Why?
Is 38mm good for xpan crop?
Usually when shooting starry skies, the wider the better. But of course you can use the 38 perfectly fine for night scenes in the city. 🌃
