The only 2 Medium Format Portrait Lenses You Need



All photos edited with my Amalfi Lightroom Preset Pack:

Hey everyone! I’m excited to be sharing my first ever photoshoot on Hasselblad, using the portrait kit which includes the Hasselblad X2D 100C, 45mm f4 pancake lens and 80mm f1.9 lens. Throughout the video, I share 100% crops of the unedited, SOOC images so you can see all the details and afterwards, a full view of my edited version of the photo. Let me know what you think of the camera in the comments!

    Hasselblad has 289 phase detect AF points.
    The Sony A7iv has 794 phase detect AF points.
    The Hasselblad at 6400 iso looks like it's iso 100 full frame. Image quality is amazing.

    However for AF performance and fast subjects like weddings or sports. Don't get the Hasselblad
    It's more for controlled subjects/environments.

    If you burst or the type who doesnt want to miss the moment. Medium format ain't for it.

    The 45mm and the 80mm are the only lenses I have for my Fujifilm GFX 🙂
    Good work as usual!

    I totally agree, that focus point is not small enough. The back screen and the grip are amazing. It’s almost like the grip is holding your hand and won’t let go even if you try to.

    I really can`t see so much difference of my Z6 II with a 85mm .

    I bought this camera few weeks back and still trying to figure out. So, here is my question. So, if I have to shoot three faces or three subjects, and in order to capture all three in focus, where do I place the available focus point (large/small) box on?

    Held it bought it, it’s basically cheating 😂

    Did it not drive you crazy having to keep touching the screen to acquire focus?

    Doesn't look as good as a Hasselblad or Rolleiflex medium format film camera

    That doesn't look like a medium format Hasselblad. Where is the 120 film?

    Would love for a a6700 vs x-s20 shootout 😊

    Wow!; ummm, Julia, did you mention 100 MP ?; i am not sure I heard that right !!!and if so, cant comprehend that level of tech!; also, interesting comment on the Hasselblad "colour" science; have found the Mavic 3 (original / dual Camera) is superb straight out of camera!

    Absolutely stunning photos! This is admittedly way out of my budget, but I always appreciate a HB body

    I really expected much more clarity than that from a 100mp Camera….May i ask is the Video guy shooting in sRGB ?

    Sorry, don't want to sound mean, but you realize leaf shutters are nothing new in MF cameras, right? And you should check how you hold the camera (see 1:44) before thinking that the shutter is the reason for blur.
    You're clearly just advertising a camera that is out of your usual sphere. I guess at some point people need to choose between being a good and inspiring photographer or just a product pusher YouTuber. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    From the video, it seems like the Hassy is focus hunting for a long time

    Please give us an example of high speed sync in studio! Very nice work.

    Julia: A great review as always. I'm curious how the images from this camera compare to the images that you get on the A1 or A7RV. I definitely notice a huge improvement going from a 24 mp camera to a 50 mp camera, especially when I want to preserve detail while cropping. Does the extra detail make a noticeable difference when going from 50 or 61 to 100 mp? Also, without eye AF, were you still able to get critical focus wide open in most of your photos?

    Hi Julia! Love this video! Is is true that the camera is slow to focus and use? We know the IQ is the best you cant get but is usage that good? What is your opinion on this matter?
