Have you used the Hasselblad XCD 135mm 2.8? I think it rivals if not surpassed the GF110. Also, having a 1.7TC it makes it a duel purpose lens. I’m glad I found this video.. I was considering selling my X2D AND R5C to get ONLY the GFX100ii. But I really don’t think I’d be happy. Yes it’s still 100mp but I just LOVE the images I get out of the Hasselblad. I BARELY do anything to them in Phocus 2 on my iPad. They are just THAT good. I’ve owned Fuji’s in the past and had to use specific capture one for Fuji and yes images were ok but a bit off. Yea I could sell both systems and get the GFX and probably pocket a few 1000$ but every time I shoot the X2D I forget about anything else.

Great explainer vid . . . . having professionally used both systems extensively, and now owning one of them, I concur with almost everything you say as both positives and negatives - except for 2 things (with some personal perspective as a fellow professional fashion/beauty shooter): 1.) Fuji Color science: I can relate to you having issues getting the "look" you like out of the GFX 100 II; but what I rarely see discussed - which makes me think most users don't take the time do this - is setting up color profiles/presets in your native software of choice (PS, LR, C1). I use C1Pro, and when I first purchase a new camera body, I shoot test frames in my usual shooting conditions (outdoors/with and without sun/with strobes, studio natural light/with strobe/LED constants), then use those test frames to build very controlled color profiles as presets. It usually takes me 30-45mins per profile to nitpick over and fine-tune. I then use these presets upon import or when tethered, and this get's me 90% of the way to my "look." Prior to doing this, when I would just white balance off a color checker and make adjustments by eye, achieving my "look" in post would become really frustrating if the SOOC color wouldn't match my taste (which, for most any camera, rarely does). Taking the time to create profiled presets around my preferred color science saves a TON of time and headache, and keeps things consistent. Retouch and final color grade come easy after that, and keeps my "look" consistent as well. 2.) Hasselblad Color Science: I also agree, the SOOC DJI (yes, DJI - not Hassy) colors are really nice . . . but not perfect. They're way too magenta, with some cyan-green tint in the shadows, and these files take a fair amount of tweaking . . . especially for skintones in shadow. Again, spending the time to develop one's own color profiles/presets is a game changer (hate that term), or even a life-changer. In a nutshell, after shooting both systems across 5-6 shoots each, I chose the GFX 100 II: less expensive, better eye tracking, vertical grip for extended shooting/vertical comfort, solid lens lineup, weirdly faster tethered support, robust build on location. The DJI/Hassy is awesome, GAS is real (like you mention), and I doubted for a minute whether I made the right choice after sending the DJI/Hassy back . . . but in hindsight, and after many more shoots, I don't miss the overly expensive DJI/Hassy at all. Glad you found something you're finally comfortable with, and hope you take the time to make your own profiles and save yourself a ton of color science frustration in the future. ;-)

I also found that, with the GF110mm, creating a color profile preset around this lens/GFX 100 II combo came quickly.

As far as I know Hasselblad is having a very slow and costly service. Firmware updates also suffer a slow release. While Fuji is a better option in all fields, except in flash synchro. But still you can buy a Hasselblad H lens and use the central shutter speed in those lenses via an adapter only losing autofocus in the process.
@WILMORENOАй бұрын
I think the old H lenses only sync to about 800 instead of 2000/4000 like newer ones. There are some "orange dot" h lenses with faster sync but they cost as much as the new lenses. The fuji is a fine camera, and continuous autofocus is so nice to have on a medium format camera. I just wanted to share my experience.

It is honestly a bit silly how people are making absolut claims about Hasselblad being better. Fuji is sought after by many pros for their colors and the "malleability" of the 16bit files. Which proves.... well: Nothing. "Good color" is highly subjective and I say that after shooting in many different formats since more than 20y. Saying tha the Fuji cannot make good images is almost funny. I just downloaded a number of Raw samples from both cameras underneath a Matt Granger video on YT, there are differences, but once you dial down the magenta (for those who do not like it) in the Fuji files, skin tones are scaringly similar to the Hasselblad files. Surprise, it is the same sensor. I vastly prefer (I said "prefer") Fuji colors, and often find the Hasselblad files or too cool/ a too greenish pie/ too something else. Never as pleasing as Fuji's - Been a Fuji guy since my first Fuji DSLR in the early 2000s. I suggest you just go on enjoying your Hasselblads and get over the fact that color is a matter of preference. One thing that the X2D clearly has over the Fuji: it is a more beautiful camera. But you have to pay that quite a bit.

@bernios3446 Who said fuji can not make good images? Did you just make that up to win a statement against...yourself? I liked my gfx fine. I've been using many formats for over 30 years now. All brands. I also have a background running flexographic printing presses. In flexo, color output is measured by a spectrodensitometer. Color accuracy is paramount. It's the difference in getting paid or throwing away products. You could say im partial to a certain standard for color. Not everyone will choose your favorite camera brand. You need to accept that. "I suggest you get over the fact that color is a matter of preference" That sounds like advice for yourself... I'm not interested in anyone else's preferences. If im spending over $10,000 ill choose whichever I find better. This video wasn't sponsored. There's enough youtubers out there reading spec sheets and shilling. Im sharing my opinions for the people out there who want to hear them. Unless you've owned and shot both systems extensively, your opinion on the matter doesn't hold any water. Downloading someone elses files isn't the same as the research I put in. But thanks for the comment. It helps views I am glad you at least noticed the magenta issue.

Either way it can be a miserable hike depending on weather and the elevation change is pretty extreme. Add on starting elevation of 10K plus and it makes for a brutal day. I did it in my 30s, 40s and 50s and believe me, age is your enemy! My brother and sister in law almost killed me when they joined on my last hike.

Just a consideration for Hasselblad vs fuji. Hasselblad leaf shutters are second to none if you are dependent on making studio work with flashlights no doubt about that, But…. The quality and sharpness of there modern lenses are not better or worse than other brand lenses. And then the elephant in the room…. Non of the Hasselblad cameras or there lenses have an IP rating, meaning they are not water resistant, so good luck if you are a landscape photographer or take the camera out into damp or dusty areas. And Ok color science, it's a matter of opinion, but in my opinion you can make a fuji image look like cannon, Nikon or Hasselblad with a minimum of effort by building presets in your editing software, but by all means if Hasselblad colors are the only thing that works then choose hasselblad, but please remember that their lenses are about twice the price and the selection is very limited. Also the autofocus on Hasselblad is slow like he…. I loved Hasselblad in my film days but now 2024 they are ways behind and in my opinion color science is more a marketing gimmick than a real difference, color is more about feelings and opinion than an exact science.

And no amount of sensor color magic, brand name or technology can make a bad vision, execution and composition look good. It’s the person behind the camera that create the picture not the 100 fps, the 102 Mpix or an autofocus that are optimized and have different settings for a train, animals and bikes etc.. It’s motivation, hard work and more work + experience that result in grate pictures and yes sometimes luck, So Fuji or Hasselblad or cannon Nikon or an IPhone it dose not matter. it’s the person and there knowledge + vision that will produce grate pictures not the brand / price / hype of gear in the closet or in the backpack that gives the result.

These two cameras are not comparable. Hasselblad is much better for colors, the lenses are of much better quality to say the least, the lenses are all central shutter which allows flash sync up to 1/4000th for XCD lenses. The X2D allows to use Hasselblad H lenses with central shutter and flash sync up to 1/800th (which is their normal exposure time). The Fuji only shutters up to 1/125th and has a focal plane shutter, while the X2D (like other Hasselblad cameras) does not have an integrated shutter. Not to mention the very nice "tiltable" screen allowing the viewfinder at chest height and the integrated storage of 1 TB and the quality of the finish of the body and lenses, and the superb integrated software (which all camera manufacturers should take inspiration from). There is certainly a price difference but it is totally justified and we are not playing in the same league ;)

@@WILMORENO Ho sorry, this message was initially for David @davidpalermo4695 Talking about the shutter speed synchro flash, I've been using Hasselblad H every day for years (H5D-60), and therefore flash sync at 1/800. At this point I would say that the 1/4000 vs 1/800th is "a detail". What I meant by talking about the flash is that the 1/125 in x-sync of the Fuji is so limited that it is almost unusable outdoor (as we saw in your video). Even with a sync limited "only" to 1/800th of a second, you can shoot in full summer sunlight and have 1200 ws usable (with for example a Profoto Pro b2, Pro b3 or Pro b4 generator). In Ibiza in June, 1200 Ws and the 1/800th -100 iso gives me an aperture of ƒ/4. Impossible to do without a central shutter. The problem with the ND filter is that it compensates for ambient light (that's ok) but also for flash light. It is therefore not comparable to a central shutter which does not affect the flash (a Profoto ProB2 delivers a flash of 1/12000th of a sec, much faster than the shutter). Another difference: the XD2 delivers files in 16-bit Native, which is not the case with the Fuji. All this to say that these two cameras are not comparable. Their only common point is that they are MF cameras with a small MF sensor.

@@WILMORENO In fact, I was worried about the evolution of the Hasselblad range. I didn't know what to take in case my H5D broke down. Of course, the "small" CMOS sensor is not completely comparable to a 43x56 mm CCD like the Dalsa that equips my H5D, especially in terms of colors and rendering (especially for the rendering of the skin in beauty photos). The X2D is not quite at the same level yet. But with these new lenses and the update of the body I am now reassured, because I have a credible alternative to the H. I found Hasselblad as I knew it and that is obviously excellent news. And then I still have solutions: there is a second-hand market for H bodies and H lenses. The H was far too expensive for that to be viable. I'm not surprised they stopped it. As for lenses, the brand new XCDs that have just come out have finished reassuring me for the future. Here again, I find the "Hasselblad spirit" So I think I'll take an X2D with the 25 mm and the 38 mm for outdoors (fashion, street portraits, photographing Paris for fun), then my H lenses for the rest (80mm, 50mm, 120mm macro and 210 mm). For the studio (I mainly do cosmetic beauty and fashion) it will mainly be the H which is still "ahead" in pure quality. But the X2D is quite credible and will ensure the future in case of a problem with my H5D. And it will be better for my shoulders and my back! (the H5D-60 + 50 mm equivalent to 35 mm in 24x36 weighs 2.8 kg!)

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I haven't had this lens in a long time as I moved to the hasselblad x2d last year.

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.

@@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

Hasselblad lenses are manufactured by Fuji so I think it's not a coating problem for the colors, but the software. Landscape looks very realistic on my Fuji GFX 100 II, but skintones are better on the Hasselblad without tuning. Maybe they use the DJI technology. I heard from a lot of camerashops that there are a lot of problems with the Hasselblad camera's. It's not the real Hasselblad anymore. Also the service was not good. So I keep my old 501 CM and the Fuji 100II

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

@@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
@NickDelDuca5 ай бұрын
@@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
