I would have loved to see more of those sample images. Those portraits are beautiful

[@TomCalton]

Thank you! I'm hoping to start a new Instagram channel in the new year and it'll mainly be of portraits I've shot around the Rockys. So, be sure to keep an eye out for that one!

[@golden4523]

Awesome to see you do a Hasselblad video, been loving the 55v and really haven’t felt the need to get another lens until they make something really telephoto (probably around 85-100 in full frame terms)

[@deanisplemoni]

Hasselblad create a P and V lens. They weren't ready for Tom.

[@TomCalton]

Correct

[@Daniel_Zalman]

I'd rather have a 50mm or 85mm f/1.2 (neither of which do I have) for my Nikon Z8 and its measly FF sensor than a f/3.4 on a medium format.

[@harryvlogs7833]

Yeah I'd want a sigma 85 1.4 for my lumix instead of that low expensive lens

[@koningslakkie2498]

Agree, talking about the law of diminishing returns.

[@spyous7884]

@@koningslakkie2498 i dont think thats how the law of diminishing return work

[@koningslakkie2498]

What do you mean? What I meant is this: Moving from APS-C to full-frame, you're paying 2-3 times more for the body and lenses, but you gain a noticeable 1-1.5 stops in image quality, plus additional 'pro' features. However, the jump from full-frame to medium format comes with another 2-3x price hike. What's the return on that? Sure, you get higher resolution-around 50MP to 100MP-but doubling the megapixels doesn’t double the perceived image quality. Full-frame still offers advantages like shallower depth of field, a wider lens selection with more versatile zoom ranges, faster cameras, lower noise, and quicker autofocus. Objectively, this could even be considered a case of diminishing or negative returns. In many scenarios, full-frame objectively outshines medium format.

Great video sir, keep them coming and welcome to Canada!

Thank you! Much appreciated! 😁

Please get the M mount adapter and stick the Brightinstar 28mm on this, it seems like a stupidly fun setup

[@TomCalton]

[@miguelito_1552]

Very few reasons to buy a medium format camera, even less to buy a Hasselblad instead of a Fujifilm

[@GuitarVocalHEroes]

Very few reasons to buy Fujifilm medium if you can afford hasselblad.

[@miguelito_1552]

@@GuitarVocalHEroes I can afford it and I wouldn't use it before a full frame or apsc

[@GuitarVocalHEroes]

@miguelito_1552 your choice. But Fuji is basically a junk. Why would anyone who wants medium size pick up Fuji - I don't know. Ff is great. Had to move from aps-c as I didn't like low light quality.

[@iota2619]

@@miguelito_1552 same reason people buy Leicas over Sonys

[@imreallydamntired]

@@GuitarVocalHEroesare you good? i own both and theyre for completely different purposes, Fuji is a workhorse, the x2D is an art piece, photography for leisure not work.. the gfx gets the job done, both have the same sensor

[@skankhunt85]

omg uploading video at 6am. workaholic

[@TomCalton]

I actually just scheduled the video to go live at a specific time. But, the latter is also arguably true 🤣

[@MezeiEugen]

4:10 Here we go again with the BS of sensor size influencing DOF (or focal lenght, also BS). No, the only one thing influencing DOF is the phyiscal size of the apperture hole. (More correctly the area of the entrance pupil.) This 75mm/3.4 lens has a hole of (N=f/D) 22,0588 mm. Every other lens of the same entrance pupil will have the same DOF. No matter its focal lenght and no matter what size of a sensor happens to be behind it! The calculation you made is correct, but the reason the 60 mm lens has to be of N=2.686 is not the sensor size but the fact that you need to have this apperture number to get that 22.0588 mm diameter entrance pupil on a 60 mm lens.

[@prinzexisalowqualityytber]

You're only buttering me up so you can take it for a test drive 😜

[@kingghidorah8106]

hello handsome, could you please review the Sony A99II please, i find it to be the peak of Sony Alpha, it went all downhill from there... like mirrorless freezing, unable to shoot uncompressed raw above 6fps, 4kviewfinders lowering to 720p when the camera is focusing or stabilizing... etc

[@RegrinderAlert]

There is no 4K viewfinder on the market. The highest resolution EVFs are 2048 x 1536 pixels - a far cry from 4K.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@RegrinderAlert Sony a7rV has a 9 million dot viewfinder, same as A7SIII, that is not just 4k but higher... and the standard resolution for high end cameras is 3.6 million dot viewfinders like the Nikon Z6 ii, or the Canon R5 with 5.76 millions

[@RegrinderAlert]

@@kingghidorah8106 You are misunderstanding. Dots are not pixels, three dots make one RGB pixel, so you have to divide by three. If you ever looked through a viewfinder you would immediately notice 😂 Check the specsheet if you don’t believe me.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@RegrinderAlert uh i think you're right. How quacky marketing wording can be! This makes A7RV 's EVF just slightly above Full HD resolution 🤮

[@RegrinderAlert]

@ Yes it’s a marketing trick, probably originating from a time where 2.36 million dot EVFs were the best. 0.8MP just sounds too bad haha

[@SakaphotoGraphics]

Slightly more affordable than Mamiya/Phase One but Medium Format has come a long way and not dealing with 6x6 or 6x7 roll film is much better, no matter the camera brand.

[@MezeiEugen]

Why the laughable statement about Hasselblad sending you a camera and a lens implying they did not so for you to make a video or not telling you what you have to say? If it was not for the reason of making a video they would send us all a camera and a lens for free. Also sending it to you implies that if you do not say what they want to hear you will not get a camera/lens the next time. Totally useless and a big BS the disclaimer.

[@GuitarVocalHEroes]

Hasselblad seems to be the Astell&Kern of the photography world. Extreeeemly expensive. Not better than market average (seems so to 90% of the customers) but everyone would love to have one.

[@KingRyzen108]

Damn I’m an hour late to the video 🤣 curse you time difference! Here’s a question: does anyone know any casual/professional photographer who bought a hasselblad/phase one with their own money? This seems like as big a commitment as a mortgage with their prices.

The "camera" you use are stupid, but the 28mm 4.0 P and the 75mm 3.4 P are a great set of Lenses, though I would NOT get a "Hasselblad"/DJI camera, because the services in many countries have been cut down !
