What is your go to lens for Street & Daily Photography?
35 or 50mm for every day, 85mm for portraiture and a 24-120 for a walk around zoom.
28 would be a bit wide for my tastes but each to their own.
All of those on a full frame, rather than large format.
28mm. Got the Z 28mm 2.8, Z 26mm 2.8 will be added soon, and once Nikon throws a Z 28mm 1.8 S into the fray I will get that one, too.
One can never have too many twenty-eights.
Paired with an 85mm, ideally.
Right now the 45P but the 28P might change that :)
I guess so! It has several noticeable improvements over the popular 45P
35 and 85.
I found out about this lens yesterday and did not know it would be immediately available. I ordered mine from Adorama (thanks) an hour ago, as they were the only ones that had it in stock. Thank you for your review, and I am glad you were able to be part of the earlier tester! BTW - Thanks to you and other reviewers, I love my X2D - I picked it up used from B&H for $6300 - No tax where I live.
An entry level lens for a Hasselblad. Never thought I'd hear those words in my lifetime.
You must have missed it when the 45P was announced :)
Last fall I bought the 40mm f/2 for my z6 ii for street photography. I love that lens. It's so sharp. It's a good compromise between a 35mm and 50mm. The only other primes I have are the 20mm and the 105mm macro. I have considered getting something in the 24mm to 28mm range.
Nice photos. The ones that don't look cropped 'feel' more like 21mm than 24mm (which makes sense since "28" is closest to 22mm FF - as you said). It's a wonderfully compact lens for the Hasselblad X system, and I'm (happily) surprised that they have extended the "P" range, which had seemed like a one off before venturing down the f/2.5 V path... Still, you and others have commented that with 100mp, you can crop your images - that may be true into the centre, but as we know, a 22mm FOV equivalent carries quite some perspective distortion, so cropping into an edge will look odd. The one I would really love to see H do is a genuine "28", which would be, I guess, a "35"... and a "P" (f/4 and under 300g), not a "V". Now that would be a great walkabout lens. I have the 3.5/30 - optically great, but an earlier, slower implementation, and its 550g. Honestly, the roll out of the lightweight V line has gotten people energised about this system, but the extension of the P line for me is more interesting - it makes the camera that much more walkabout.
Thanks for your thoughts and review on this Matt.
👍🏼👍🏼
I hoped they release a 24mm lens because I find it the standard 28mm isn't wide enough and the 26mm is better and the 24mm is even better, now this 22mm is even more better! Fit well in between a 21mm and a 24mm!
I gotta say, great video Matt. And nice camera work to show the capabilities. Look forward to watching this again on a 65” flat screen. Bravo.
Thanks! Credit to my videographer Michelle on this one!
42mm is the best focal length. It is the answer for everything.
😂
Very nice photos! I like the one with the sun shining through the incense smoke.
Thank you! That’s my favorite too 👍🏼👍🏼
I was wondering when the next "P" lens would come out. Good to see that the AF performance is better than the 45P. I don't like the AF of the 45P so I hope that they consider making a V successor to the 45mm lenses.
Ordered immediately as soon as I heard it was out. Seems a "Deal" as far as XCD lenses go. F4 for a 22mm eqiv seems fine.
For regular people. Phone for close and scenery. 50mm or 70mm for portrait. F1.8 or f1.4 for night shot.
👌🏼
i'd pick the 38mm
Well done! Thanks!!
Questions:
1) If you want to document your life and sometime do some personal work and price wasn't an issue, but don't want to over buy unnecessary gears, would you get X2D with single 28mm F4 lens for photos and Sony Xperia 1 V and iPhone 15 for photos and videos or you will get Sony A7Cii with single 20-70mm F4 plus these phones for both photos and videos?
2) When you say you prefer 28mm do you mean FF equivalent of 28mm or this Medium Format 28mm which is FF equivalent of 22mm?
3) What is the formula to calculate the perspective compression lose you get from cropping instead of using actual zoom if there is any and make any sense? Is there situations where you would use crop instead of zoom from the aspect of compression and so on?
I hoped they release a 24mm lens because I find it the standard 28mm isn't wide enough and the 26mm is better and the 24mm is even better, now this 22mm is even more better! Fit well in between a 21mm and a 24mm! X2D with that 28mm seem more tempting now!
1 - I would not be considering these options. I enjoy the X2d though.
2 - Both. I explained my keeper shots are 20-28mm range
3 - I don't know of a specific formula.
@@mattgranger I see, what would you recommend then?
… Matt: Really appreciating your X2D reviews. Astronomically out of my financial zone… but you never know. My thought is that I am only using pre-AI, 50 year old Sonnar Nikon primes- because they have the most natural renderings of depths. Are they adaptable on an X2D, and if so, could you consider a review?
Sure you can adapt pretty much any lens, certainly any F Mount lens, to XCD 👍🏼
Thanks for the review👍 the images in the temple are great with the lights and smoke if the candles.
I just bought this lens and used it shortly for a first test. It is definitely much faster in focusing than the 45P and the 80 mm f1.9.
Question what is that thing that is on the hot shoe if the X2D at 13 minutes?
Cheers! I am not sure what you mean about hotshoe at 13 minutes - as the video ends at 13 minutes. But at some points in the video I had a GoPro mounted in the hotshoe, like at 06:40
@@mattgranger Ah ok it's a Gopro 👍 thanks for your clarification.
I would say so. However it is still on backorder very much like the 90mm 2.5 which has not been released since its September 2022 announcement.
It was only launched 3 days ago. Put your order in and stock will be shipping soon no doubt.
@@mattgranger Hi Matt - I know; I was being a bit petulant based on the non delivery of the 90 - and I am a bit cross about that since as a pro I went all in on the X2d and the '3' new lenses - even sold all my 77mm filters - but hey its not a complaint really - keep on shooting
For clarification: Does the sensor still deliver all 100 megapixels in any of the built-in crop modes?
Seeing how Matthew deemed it sufficient to just pointlessly award this comment a heart and move on, I guess it falls on me to answer your question: No, of course not.
I prefer 50 because I shoot aps-c and if you compress the background you’ll get far less need for medium format dynamic range. Also I live in London and the streets are far too boring for 28mm
Haha. I guess our own city often seems ‘boring’ to us. I love shooting in London 👍🏼
@@mattgranger haha well who would’ve thought I am just not good enough to shoot 28 😾
As you 'worked' with H on the lens, did you find much difference between where you started and where the lens ended up? Were you able to get your wish list? Cheers!
Hey Robert, it was a really fun process, interesting for a nerd like me to see how these things work. Sorry, but I cannot share any specifics though.
@mattgranger What would be the closest equivalent solution in the Canon ecosystem?
Nothing springs to mind, sorry.
Do Hasselblad cameras work with Capture One?
Nope
@@AgostinoMaiello thanks for replying
No, its a C1 limitation. They don't support their competitor.
@@mattgranger PhaseOne and Hasselblad aren't competitors. One produces tools, the other produces fashion accessories.
hello. i just want to ask, are there any plans to do photography training in HK? Thanks.
Yes! Hopefully later this year. Details will go on social media and mattgranger.com
What strap do you use with the X2D? I’m scared to use the one included as I’ve heard horror stories of it unclipping.
Thankfully I never experienced that. The strap - I think is linked in the description is the napa - geni.us/napa and I attach it to the tripod mount via this connector: geni.us/FastenR
what set up you use for recording your video and yourself??
On location it is Z9 and various lenses, with my videographer. In studio it is Z9 + 24-70 on a tripod. Important shots in prores. Hope that helps.
Great video 👍 can you shoot fast moving subjects like cars bikes for street photography? With this awesome camera
The camera doesnt have tracking, but of course you can still shoot moving subjects. You can do that with MF cameras :)
Just announced how do. You have it already.
Because they give camera and lenses out to certain people to review before they are first announced.
Hi mate, as I explained in the video, I got the chance to give feedback on a prototype version, and Hasselblad sent me this final version early to make the video.
but the lens is available, mine was shipped today, 24 hours after preorded .Well it was available, it s sold out on hasselblad website
What is the wrist strap you are using? So nice!
Thanks! I linked it in the description 👍🏼
@@mattgranger Thanks, but how can it be installed on Hasselblad camera? Does Rock n Roll has an option or DIY?
28mm since 1990
What lens is that?
@@NetvoTV I meant i use only 28mm for ages
@@NetvoTVlol
Does this lens loss the af/mf pull down ring design?
Nope.
@@mattgranger Thx, such a bad new of OCD
Sweet new lens. But please don't call it street photography.
i agree because i shoot street shots extremely hard find photo story . its extremely rare to find street photo story . and i have been shooting years my time -
matt g its up to professional whom knows its eye . 😊
Looks like we got the street photography Karen here 😂
Well one day when I can afford a 8 grand camera……..
28 = ugly corners
For clarification: Does the sensor still deliver all 100 megapixels in any of the built-in crop modes?
Yep. It will import showing the aspect ratio you chose, but you can ‘un-crop’ it to show the full thing.
