Buy and Sell / FS (EU) Hassleblad XCD 80mm f/...
Last post by anGy - Today at 03:49:55 AMHi,
I am planning to reduce the number of my XCD lenses to a 3 lenses kit only.
This 80mm does not fit in it so here it is for sale.
I'm the original owner of the lens, purchased new in 2022 at an official Hasselblad retailer in Brussels (Belgium).
It is sold as new - in a ! perfect ! cometic and working condition - complete with its original box and accessories.
Asking: 3,250eur
Shared shipping charges to Eastern Europe countries (UPS fully insured with tracking only)
Pick-up is possible in the Brussels area.
I've had the opportunity to test/use almost all the XCD range of lenses. To me the 80mm is the best one with a unique image rendering, unbeatable for portrait photography.

X1D/X2D Cameras / Re: Small Horizontal Red Line
Last post by mrkjhn - Today at 03:07:22 AMLooking at more of the photos, the line isn't consistent in its position within the frame but it does always run horizontal; sometimes red, sometimes blue. Inquiry to Hasselblad Support; will update.

Last post by deardorff8x10 - Today at 02:56:06 AMI have done this, coming from the H system initially. Quality of images is fine. Depending on the lens, AF is somewhat to much slower than the newer X system lenses. The H lenses are also generally bigger, especially with the adapter. If you already have H lenses, using them makes a lot of sense. If you don't, I don't think it is worth saving money with them vs. getting the X series lenses in general.
Some like the 100 2.2 don't really have an equivalent "look", but otherwise, I generally prefer the X lenses on the X body.

X1D/X2D Cameras / Question: X1D2 with HC lenses
Last post by rollsman - Today at 01:46:46 AMI am looking to see if anyone has used the HC-X adaptor for the X camera. Also, how good is the AF with the adaptor and HC lenses. Is it worth buying the adaptor( used ) and then Buying the HC lenses?
What about Image quality. Sorry for so many question but I need to know so I can decide Thank you

On a tripod indoors with natural or battery powered constant light, it should be fine. Only hand-held without IBIS is difficult if the scene has straight vertical-ish lines (with the camera in landscape position).Quote from: MGrayson on April 18, 2024, 12:57:09 PMQuote from: marcwilson on April 18, 2024, 10:49:27 AMThanks all for these answers.Without IBIS, straight lines can get wavy.

Oddly, I *have* a Canon 1dxII from 2005, so it took me a second...
Good cameras
So if that is the case, with the (Hasselblad) 1dxII it's not 100% foolproof to shoot a non Hasselblad lens (so using electric shutter) indoors, even on tripod with only natural and flash light.
So the only foolproof shift option to use indoors is the HTS with an H lens (not my pentax 645 lens on a shift adpaptor....or drop 6K the 2dX...either way, a costly move.

So bottom line is with electronic shutter, handheld you might have problems, but on a tripod outdoors, no issues whatsoever.
On a tripod, indoors, with flash, potentially 1 or 2 second exposure...still no issues or is this where 'stripes' might come in...I would be using electronic shutter with a pentax 645 lens on shift adaptor.

Indoors, stripes appear because the lights generally flicker at the AC frequency (60Hz or so). Hand held, with IBIS, it's really not a problem.
Indoors it is only natural light and my flash light so I assume the stripes comes from 'house' lights only, not flash unit. I'm using 1dxII so no IBIS.
