Why THIS Lens Changed How I See the World | Hasselblad 20-35E Review

[@RobertFalconer1967]

Sorry for your loss, Bobby. Parents being gone is as much a surreal experience as it is a sad one. And the effects will ebb and flow in waves as the years go by. But it's important never to forget that we carry them inside us all the days of our lives; for as long as we remember them they're never really gone. And I completely understand why you chose the X2D to mark this particular moment in life.

[@btonelli]

@@RobertFalconer1967 thanks Robert 🙏🙏

[@ngtamphuong]

I’m sorry for your loss. The Hasselblad is absolutely a work of art and one of the most advanced camera out there.

[@btonelli]

@@ngtamphuong thank you and agree

[@Reno_T]

Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. You made some great images! And a perfect integration of the sponsor that makes a lot of sense. Cheers from Belgium

[@btonelli]

@@Reno_T thank you and thanks for watching. I work with sponsors I believe in and BetterHelp is definitely one of them

[@Johnkostercreative]

Bobby, got the Leica Q3 43 based on your review, I’m friggin loving it!!!! Thank you for sharing about your Mom, sounds like you were the kind of son any mother would love to have.

[@btonelli]

@@Johnkostercreative thanks John really appreciate the kind words and glad you are enjoying the Q3 43!

[@LensForgotten]

Very sorry about your loss Bobby. Stay strong brother.

[@btonelli]

@@LensForgotten thank you 🙏

[@JohnPDixonRealEstate]

I asked you should I get the X2D, you said yes and I got it. I also got the 90V and this lens the 20-35 E, I love them, I love this camera! 😎 Thank You Bobby

[@btonelli]

@@JohnPDixonRealEstate I’m glad you are enjoying them!!! My pleasure and thanks for the support

[@JayBlue2U]

Hi Bobby. I’m so sorry that your mom has passed away. I hope being with family was a comfort. Thank you for sharing a few photos! Hopefully the folks at Hasselblad will loan you more gear in 2025. 😊 Be well, and thanks for your reviews and commentary.

[@btonelli]

@@JayBlue2U thank you much appreciated. Hope so as well

[@riswanc]

Thanks mate, i was aware things went quiet, i followed your video about the hasselblad, especially X2D and the cfv100c, they should talk to you in that regards.. love sharing the photos of the family, and you are so right, i too took photos not for awards, but just my own satisfaction and since the x2d days

[@btonelli]

@@riswanc thanks. Yeah not sure what happened. They told me to essentially (you are on our creator list but nothing suitable for you to do with us currently). When I ask to review their lenses they go quiet. Oh well…nature of this business.

[@benjhaisch]

7:18 this is what photography is all about, man. Thanks for sharing.

[@btonelli]

Thanks Benj! 🙏🙏

[@dominiclester3232]

Thank you, respect!

[@btonelli]

Thank you too!

[@calvinchann1996]

Yeah, I became an orphan this year. I took my Ricoh GRIII. This lens would be a lot more attractive to me if the X2D has in camera perspective correction like my SL2.

[@btonelli]

@@calvinchann1996 I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences. Yes in camera control would help

[@lelandfitz1762]

Boy, Hasselblad really is going all in with Camera KZbin recently. Popping up everywhere.

[@btonelli]

I had interest in this lens and was told a demo unit would be available from the local distributor so I took the opportunity to review it

[@lelandfitz1762]

@@btonelli No judgment, it just came to my mind when your video popped up, how many Hasselblad videos I saw in recent months compared to...EVER on KZbin 😉 Even grainydays who only shoots film did an exception for them hehe

[@btonelli]

@@lelandfitz1762 yeah there are a lot more now out there. I think they are really pushing the marketing which is good. Not usually like them

[@lelandfitz1762]

@@btonelli I just found out recently that they are owned by DJI. With all the rumors about DJI mirrorless camera I wouldn't be surprised if the DJI mirrorless will turn out as a full frame (or a new more affordable medium format) Hasselblad model

[@btonelli]

@@lelandfitz1762 yes DJI has really been behind the big push for marketing as well I believe. This is how they became so successful. They may come out with camera but not sure if it will have the Hasselblad name on it

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

Sorry for your loss. The family photos deserve to be printed and stored forever.

[@btonelli]

@@shang-hsienyang1284 thank you 🙏

[@JustZG]

Were you able to test the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm? Keen to know the size/weight compared to these two as well as it's performance! Love your work as always Bobby!

[@btonelli]

Thank you! I’ve tried that lens in the past and it’s also a fantastic lens. I feel this one has better build and slightly faster aperture at 20 but either is a good choice

[@unstanic]

5:03 - 5:17 🔥

[@btonelli]

@@unstanic thank you 🙏

[@marcusnz232]

I might get this eventually but at about 25% more than even the already expensive V series lenses, my budget ran only to 55 and 90 for now!

[@btonelli]

@@marcusnz232 I hear ya. Both of those are awesome lenses. Haven’t tried the 90 but the 55 is fantastic

[@benjhaisch]

11:12 that same thing happened with me and Leica for the most part haha

[@btonelli]

Haha funny how this business is. And you have been shooting with Leica for years!

[@davidkipperman5218]

It's a great camera, BUT, it's weak system on telephoto prime and zoom lenses. As soon as they come out I'm in!

[@btonelli]

They seem to be in the middle of revamping their lenses and adding new focal lengths. Probably need another year to fully build it out

[@davidmurray5926]

01:24 The Fujifilm GF 20-35 is slightly smaller and lighter than this lens, and also £3,000 less.

[@btonelli]

Most GFX lenses are bigger than Hasselblad lenses. That’s what I was saying in this part of the video.

[@virus4188]

@@btonelli And all of them are optically better, sharper, brighter, faster and mostly cheaper and Hasselblad hasn't even drawn half of them yet. Don't make me laugh with Hasselblad lenses.

[@bubbachua]

Woohoo hassy video !!! Todays video seems a bit darker than usual

[@btonelli]

@@bubbachua darker as in color?

[@bubbachua]

@@btonelli bit darker lighting than usual

[@btonelli]

@@bubbachua ah yes. Trying something a bit different :) if it’s too dark will go back to normal on the next vid

[@bubbachua]

@@btonelli it’s alright just bumped the screen all the way up. It suits the mood today 🥹❤️

[@btonelli]

@@bubbachua hope tomorrow is better

[@Photojouralist123]

Wow Bobby you’re getting dised by DJI!

[@btonelli]

@@Photojouralist123 hope not but seems like I’m not in their list of active creators

[@RadAlzyoud]

I guess Hasselblad has gifted all their stock to other KZbinrs :-)

[@btonelli]

Hahaha I just want to review the lenses

[@sgpork]

If I make more than 1 million every year. I dont mind buying these. But.. oh well. Maybe next life. . Nice gear nonetheless

[@btonelli]

I’m with you :)

[@TimHunold]

E series is meaningless when they might have three lenses over 5 years.

[@btonelli]

@@TimHunold I think they are going to increase the releases.

[@TimHunold]

@btonelli lack of lenses is a problem for Hasselblad. So we have the originals, the two "p" then the "v" and now "e". Everything over there is seemingly low effort to make new lenses. I wonder if they sold more than 50 of the TC for the 135

[@btonelli]

@@TimHunold I think the next move is for them to make longer lenses and if they can keep them compact it will definitely help
