Hasselblad X2D + HCD 4/28 + HTS 1.5 + XH 0.8x | City Lights in Medium Format

A lot of people asked me to shoot Hasselblad HC and HCD lenses on the new Hasselblad X2D. This video is all about that, shooting medium format HC(D) lenses on the X2D camera body. As an adapter I use the Hasselblad XH Converter 0.8x which enables the use of Hasselblad HC(D) lenses on the Hasselblad-X camera bodies. I also, addressing another question from subscribers, mount in addition the Hasselblad HTS 1.5 Tilt & Shift adapter to show that this is also working very well in combination with the Hasselblad X2D. In the video I explain all you need to know about this camera-lens-adapter-converter combo including how to figure out Field of View and Depth of Field. I also show sample images of city lights at night which will fully convince you that this is a fantastic combo for architecture and landscape.
