Hasselblad X1DII with Leica M Mount Lenses! Medium Format F/1.4 Bokeh Magic!

[@AgnostosGnostos]

Many lenses zoom or prime have a much larger image circle than the sensor they are designed for. It is a trick by lens manufacturers because the center of the image circle is always better than the periphery. For example the full frame Zeiss Otus lenses can be used on the medium format Hasselblad X1D or the Fujifilm GFX cameras without cropping. Also the APS-C Sony 10-18mm and the APS-C Sony 70-350mm can be used on full frame e-mount cameras without cropping for most of their focal distance range. All tilt shift lenses have much larger image circles too.

[@cl3826]

Does this have a booster adapter to make the image just a bit larger?

[@AgnostosGnostos]

c l Booster adapters actually make the image circle smaller. For example the versions of Metabones speed booster adapters make the image circle of full frame EF mount lens, smaller for use in APS-C or micro 4/3 mirrorless cameras. That increases the amount of light reaching the sensor and doesn't change the angle of view of the full frame lens on a APS-C or micro 4/3 cameras.

Thanks again for your adapted lens coverage! 7:25 gives the Film Noir Venetian blinds look 9:55 cat means business

[@diegaulle9143]

A lot has been said about moving subjects and readout time. But how fast do subjects have to move in order to get them distorted? Like walking people that you would normally freeze at 1/125th?

[@CollectiveMindz]

That is a bummer it is electronic shutter only. Maybe a GFX 50R would be a better option albeit not as pretty looking and a fair bit chunkier!

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

And sadly no leaf shutter in the native glass on the Fuji.

[@evaeriksson9950]

Beautiful images as always 😍 The x1d is a really handsome camera! If I had that kind of cash I could see myself buying it😊

[@nandavenkat]

Well said..sharpness is for pixel peepers. All these other reviewers who blame vignetting of lenses and then add vignette in photoshop

[@مصطفيباشامجدي]

what you think... Leica sl2 or x1d mk ii

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Very nice images. The Voigtlander. 75mm with the X1D looks amazing, full of character. Thansk for sharing.

[@AlexFG24]

It's amazing that M Mount lenses produce such little vignetting.

[@dominicnguyen4138]

How would you compare the Leica SL2 to the Hassy X1D2 When using with M lenses? Which system would yield better image quality?

[@windy1973]

I tested 35, 50, 90 mm M lens with X1D2. Vignetting was stronger than your images. Didn’t you crop your images at all?

[@tamircooper3584]

Are you going to review the new leica m10 monochrome?

[@jburch5752]

Good review. Very informative. It's was great meeting you guys at the zoo today. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more great reviews.

[@edwinchan5172]

Great Introduction! I am in. Just wonder if the machine give any assistance for manual focus(like magnifying the live view and peaking)?

[@michaelHrizuk-kl9xj]

Is there a setting for MF lenses, because when I mount my 90mm f1.25 TTartisan lens I’m getting “lens not detected.”

[@wbfl12]

Do you think a noctilux 0.95 would vignette heavily and/or need to crop?

[@AntonioDellElceUK]

I am so curious on how Norita lenses perform on the X1D...

[@yeetiesandwheaties]

I might check out the next version of this camera.

[@georgeyoung2990]

Are you saying that I could use my lenses that I use with my Nikon D810?

[@mohomami9684]

Do you know of any adapter which would let use my Sony e mount lenses on Hasselblad 907x 100c?

[@dormir01]

Can’t wait to try my nokton 50 f1 on my 907x

[@doronritter]

Do have problem with elctric shutter ? Some rolling shutter isshu ?

[@kodewilliams2892]

when’s the X2D coming with a 70-100mp

[@MarcS4R]

i have the adapter for my GFX, about to Test it with my 50 lux, and also the Zeiss 35 ZM 1.4, surprised that it doesn't vignette that much.

[@AndresRuiz-gs8vm]

Wow your rich!

[@MarcS4R]

@@AndresRuiz-gs8vm far from it man.

[@einfussganger]

I'm a big fan of adapted lenses. Never thought about it on a leaf shutter system though. Electronic shutter should work OK, but I'm guessing there's no chance of flash synching.

[@Chris-ey7zy]

Why not?

[@rmrfboy2951]

whats the equivalent of 50mm lens when used in x1d?

[@Scratchen2]

Are you going to review the X-Pro3 as well?

[@huky500]

Do M lenses cover the whole sensor.without cropping?

[@ropersix]

Do you think the XD1 first version is worth buying, now that used ones have come down in price so much? Not as the ultimate option, obviously, but as a good compromise between price and MF IQ?

[@key2adventure]

I use Canon FD lenses on my X1D II with amazing results, almost no vignetting on 85mm f1.2 and wide view with slight vignetting on 28mm f2.8. I would like to use M glass as well but find the adapter to expensive. I paid less than 100$ for the FD adapter.

[@Chrismaldonado63]

Could you please tell which adapter your FD adapter to X1D camera?

[@key2adventure959]

@@Chrismaldonado63 It's an adapter from Novoflex

[@Chrismaldonado63]

@@key2adventure959 I thought it was the Novoflex but for a 100$ shouldn't br. I just got one for 220$. Thank you for the answer!

[@cl3826]

SL2 or X1D II, you can only have one. Which would you pick?

[@lucasdallecrode6376]

[@nelsonclub7722]

@@lucasdallecrode6376 How so?

[@Biosynchro]

I'd love to see the SL lenses on this camera. Perhaps there can be no functional adapter, as the flange focal distance of the L mount is not much longer than the XCD mount. It would be worth a try, anyway.

[@jesmenwong4797]

You should try Fujifilm GFX50R with M lens

[@JMaxwell1000]

Does anyone know if you'd still need to crop if you set the image size to the classic square 1:1 aspect ratio?

[@migssotto]

Wait sorry I might’ve missed it, but can it work with the mechanical shutter? Apologies for the dumb question 😅

[@jordansaunders5672]

Miguel Sotto no the shutter is in the lenses on this system.

[@migssotto]

Jordan Saunders oh right! Leaf shutter lenses. Got it. Thank you!

[@hipstercrab5886]

own a first gen x1d, want to convert it to full spectrum and take aerochrome-like medium format pictures. yes, i'm indeed insane

[@curtismoore5352]

You should try the z7 with M lenses

[@akiawwalli]

Curtis Moore my choice! Love it!

[@Gynra]

They work very nicely on the Z6.

I tried it with the Leica Noctilux and the vignette was horrifying 😂 also the image doesn’t look great

[@caladanian]

The 50 mm Noctilux shows vignettes (in a beautiful way) already on full frame, so your observation on medium format makes absolutely sense.
