I Just Bought My First Medium Format Camera And Maybe You Should Too

I’ve just bought my first medium format camera – the Hasselblad X1D Mark II – and here’s why I chose it over the Fujifilm GFX system. In this video, I’ll walk you through my decision process: Why I picked Hasselblad instead of Fuji (price, handling, and long-term fit) How the camera behaviour and design make a difference when shooting Real photo examples straight out of the X1D II What the shooting experience is like compared to full-frame and APS-C Medium format cameras aren’t for everyone, but the combination of Hasselblad’s leaf shutter lenses, legendary colour science, and unique shooting feel really stood out for me. I’ll also be upfront about the challenges: slower autofocus, limited lens availability, and the higher cost of entry. If you’ve ever wondered whether to step into Hasselblad medium format photography, or if you’re weighing up Hasselblad vs Fujifilm GFX, this video will give you an honest take. Expect plenty of images, insights, and a first-hand look at what makes the X1D II so special. #photography #camera #streetphotography ‪@camerafusion‬ ‪@KaiManWong‬ ‪@benjhaisch‬ ‪@kylemeshna‬ Visit My Website: www.paultakesphotos.com PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY GEAR I USE 📸Every day camera: Ricoh GRIII-X: RICOH GR III-X https://geni.us/nelxs Google Pixel 6a https://geni.us/kasLRRo 📸 Steet & Travel Cameras Fujifilm X-T2 https://geni.us/C52oS Fujifilm X-T4 https://geni.us/frvgcc Fujifilm X-100 https://geni.us/VEz0uaU 🅿️Street Photography Fujifilm Lenses Fujifilm 16mm f/2.0 https://geni.us/vPvv2qU Fujifilm 23mm f/2.0 https://geni.us/80Z3zB Fujifilm 27mm f/2.0 https://geni.us/JNaA Fujifilm 18-55 f/2.8-f/4.0: https://geni.us/IJw4ZOB Sigma 56mm f/1.4 https://geni.us/91ctz 🎸Concert Photography Sony A7III: https://geni.us/7D1o Lenses Sony 16-35mm f/4.0 ZEISS Sony 24-70mm f/4.0 ZEISS Sony 85mm f/1.8: https://geni.us/sJiv Sony70-200mm f/4.0 https://geni.us/vGsVOZ The gear I use to produce my episodes: Sony ZV-1📸: https://geni.us/jkzwk Ulanzi Wide Angle Lens: https://geni.us/0lt0l6 Bluetooth Grips Sony Grip: https://geni.us/ELnhJ Moman Grip : https://geni.us/lvtr 52mm Magfilter Magnetic filter: https://geni.us/DP3a Batteries 3rd Party Batteries & Charger https://geni.us/XWxaQZ Sony Batteries https://geni.us/qgEspVt Sony A7III📸 Sony Lenses: Sony 16-35mm F/4 Zeiss Samyang 18mm f/2.0 https://geni.us/jaP5s Audio🎙: Rode VideoMic NTG https://geni.us/IAsk Rode Wireless Go https://geni.us/o1IfFG Rode Lav InvisiLave: https://geni.us/49VXq Studio Lights💡 Falcon Eyes RX-818 RBG: https://geni.us/hudqJ6 Godox SL60W: https://geni.us/jBme32 Godox TL30 RGB: https://geni.us/br9U
