6 hour STREET Photography WALKABOUT in Soho (Hasselblad XCD 25V)

[@rawvoltairephoto]

The first image you made with the man in the hat was fantastic. I love it.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Very enjoyable video. You have the eye for a great photo. Not something really you can ever be taught. I always preferred a lens between 40mm and 80mm for street photography (usually around 50mm) but I know this is very much personal taste. I never liked getting in too close to people as it sometimes would end in little confrontations. 50mm you can be quite a distance away. You seem to have mastered the knack !

I like the fact that when you're a content creater and you've gained enough subscribers that you no longer have to pay attention to the comments or interact with them. That's true freedom!

[@mcelliot]

Agree. Cant bring myself to subscribe when some punter doesn't respond to any of the 47 comments on the video

[@stephenwav]

Damn I just noticed that. There’s not a single reply in the comments here from the creator. :(

Mark, Ive watched your review on this 25V and also on the 28P. I know the 28P is a smaller beast but are both as sharp as each other? Are they too close to do a comparison video?

[@maxetchells]

Great video Mark. Loved all the photos

[@dr.matthiasennenbach3409]

Hello and thank you very much for the helpful lens introduction. Would you help with a question? I use the XCD 21mm for astro and I'm thinking about switching to the 25mm V because of the larger aperture. Does it make sense? Or should the 25mm always be dimmed down a bit, for example to avoid coma? Thanks in advance. Best regards. Matthias

Thanks for walking us through your process. Amazing stuff!

[@richthurstonart]

Another clean informative Video. Thanks again. Keep going.

[@akashbdj]

Hi Mark! For the first photo of a person sitting in a restaurant, why did you set your ISO to 800 and SS to 1/360s? I’m new to photography and trying to understand if we could have lowered the ISO a bit and adjusted the SS to something like 1/200s to bring in the more light? That would have lowered the noise in the image also. Is my understanding correct? Any particular reasons why you chose those settings? Trying to understand your thought process here. I understand your camera can handle the noise really well. But other cameras like mine (Sony a6700) wouldn’t produce as clean image as yours. Thank you

[@nelsonclub7722]

Your understanding is spot on - however there are times when a setup is good for many shots in varied locations and there is not always time to change them from scene to scene

[@paulmiles9388]

I really like your Hasselblad videos. They give me a really good idea how I would be using and you always show the pictures. Maybe you can allow us to download a few photos sometime. That would be awesome. cheers

[@happymystic9800]

Excellent video of a fantastic trip into the neon lights of Soho. 😮 Stunning images and a very pleasant presentation by the host. Great stuff 😊

[@dickytunes]

Great video as always Mark, so want to make the switch from GFX. Out of curosity, do you shoot RAW or JPEG?

[@pierpi8820]

But do you prefer this lens or the 28p that you really liked? Is the color rendering similar?

[@paulburwood8231]

Great looking combination and fantastic results

[@Bob4golf1]

Nice video. I don't own the 25mm but have the older 30mm which is also a great lens - a bit heavy but a solid performer. I don't really understand Hasselblad's lens strategy. Seems like they are making newer lenses that compete with the older XCD lineup and sometimes with the v lenses themselves. I wish they would focus (pun intended) a bit more on the telephoto end of the lineup or the Tele converters, extension rings, Tilt/Shift adapters and other accessories. That said, I love my X2D and the lenses I already have.

[@douglasdollars]

As an X2D owner with the 21 and 28p it's nice they're updating this for "V" but also getting ridiculous (in a nice way) to have now three lenses within 7° of each other all for the same body

[@K-Road]

I am a viewer who enjoys watching videos in Korea. I also use the photographer’s presets, which are great. I'm curious if you take pictures a little darkly. 감사합니다~~!!

[@ahmeddaghriri4180]

By the way, it is beautiful video. I like it. 😍

[@gurugamer8632]

Is the 25v better optic than the 38v is the 38v better optic as it’s newer? Which lens works better with xpan mode?

[@taylorhickman84]

Not sure what you meant about a FF camera struggling @ 3200 iso, I frequently shoot at 6400 iso w/o issues I would love an X2D for that ibis and those rich but not oversaturated colors

[@michaelj.1121]

Very enjoyable video 👏

[@luissalazar2021]

Outstanding camera, the lens is superb,thanks for sharing nice pans bro

[@mikelyon5595]

Soho looks like a target-rich environment for street photography!

[@marcusnz232]

So…I’m about to buy one of these cameras. I can’t afford a bag of the amazing V lenses at the start. Which would you have as your Highlander lens? There can be only one!

[@andy_deja_jr]

Hi Mark. Thanks, you have proven what I have been thinking for a long time - you need a camera and a lens..... not millimeter..... lens 👏👏👏👏🫡 Greeting from Mainz 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@knight6229]

The reduction of noise at night is great. The photos were edited by photoshop/lightroom or not ?

[@evertigo]

The coffee machine shot is absolutely gorgeous. Is it possible to see the raw file?

[@ehudsegev8942]

As always super pro , thanks for that. I’ve just ordered the 28mm F4 v lens, can you advice if should I change it to the 25? Considering the size of the 28, it’s a thought… I’ll be glad to get your advice. Thx

[@nelsonclub7722]

Pro here - the 28 is a 'budget' (?) lens from Hass - made akin to the 45 P where the P stands for Portable - often confused for 'pancake' The 45p is a terrible lens but also brilliant - it's convex front element does very weird things to skies for instance - but its budget friendly so theres that The 28mm therefore being f4 whereas the 25 is 2.5 so is slower - if you can afford the 25 it is also obviously wider then the 28 so you can crop nicely - but most importantly it is properly built. In our studio we have 2X2D's and a 907xCFV100c among our big arsenal of cameras - and just to help the 90mm 2.5 for instance when tested came out as the sharpest lens EVER to be tested at 3000 nits - almost double of any other lens - with that said the 25 is heavier - we have the following - 90mm 2.5, 55mm 2.5 and the 38mm 2.5 - we had a 28 on order (stock due in June) but we changed this today for the 25 - Have fun

[@SuperMarioY]

Thoroughly enjoyed it apart from that moment when you placed a Hasselblad camera on tripod and started walking away, in Soho, at night...Hasselblad camera...walking away....noooo 😄

Which modern full-frame camera struggles when you are at f/2.5 1/320 / ISO3200? That's quite a lot of light actually :D

3200 iso is peanuts for modern fullframe cameras.

This camera for street photography is probably the most senseless combination I've seen in a while.

[@innsaeimaster]

How do you handle privacy and people’s consent when single people are clearly recognised? As I know in Germany and other countries, you need at least 16 People on an image otherwise for public images the have to give you consent to publish.

[@HarrisKiakotos]

I think it’s an overkill street photography and Hassebland…

[@314LA]

Street photography is usually photographed manually. X2D is an excellent camera, but not very suitable for the street. If you like to shoot on automatic and autofocus, cameras from Sony will be better. And so, there is nothing better than Leica for street photography. IMHO

[@HKFIJIHK]

Hasselblad channel has a entire series on street photography. It’s possible

[@theonlyredspecial]

I use leica rangefinders and I have the 907x and x2d. You can easily use the new hasselblads on the street. Only other camera I use is a canon 1d mkiii for work as I do sports photography and motorbikes. And none of the above are ideal. Why would you shoot on full auto ? You lose control over aperture and all the lovely options to tune your images with a nice fast lens. If you shoot on full auto just save a ton of money and buy something much cheaper.

I wouldn't walk around Soho with a camera unless it eas a cheapo point abd shoot film camera.
