X1D Medium Format Mirrorless Digital Camera

So you know where I'm coming from: Shot medium format film in the 80's and 90's. Loved the image quality. And because of that experience, I couldn't bring myself to buy a digital camera that was only full frame that cost more than my Mamiya 645! Not trying to start any arguments here, I think digital full frame image quality is generally better than 35mm film, but I still couldn't buy it. Finally, with the Fuji 50R, I found a price point and a cropped medium format compromise I could live with. The Fuji 32-64 and this 250 are the 2 sharpest lenses I've ever owned. The image stabilization on the 250 is fabulous. Even with the 1.4 teleconverter(sorry it's not 1.9 or 2), I have taken seemingly impossible hand held shots at 1/30th of a second. To an old film guy, that's impressive. The engine image is a straight-out-of-the-camera jpg that has been resized for upload, but look at the severe crop of the front where one can easily read where the toolbox is. This is a handheld shot with the 1.4 teleconverter on a moving train. Auto focus and OIS on, F9, 1/180, ISO 400. I can live that.

I bought this tripod to support my new FujiFilm GFX 50sii digital medium format camera. I was replacing an older model Gitzo aluminum tripod with a ball head. I have used the Manfrotto Befree a few times in cold weather (I live in British Columbia, Canada) and it has held up well in the snow. I am surprised by how light and compact this tripod is, given the maximum payload. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

I use the camera as a back up and candid utility camera, my big gun is medium format digital. Great price on Cyber Monday sale. My old G12 is being used by an International painter for life modeling documentation and he won't give it back. Wide angle lens is perfect for his work.

This camera is top notch. Finally was able to save enough to make the leap to medium format and I don't regret it one bit. The Hasselblad 907x is an excellent camera. It's a straight forward easy to use system with a quality build. It has a minimalist design and well laid out menu with a touch screen. I've dreamt of a digital medium format for many years. I have an old beat up 500cm film camera whereas the 50c digital back can easily be attached. This is a versatile modular camera system which can be used with the many different Hasselblad cameras. It's well worth the money it's priced at. Considering what you used to have to pay for a digital medium format system, the price is relatively fair. I mean you are purchasing a true work of art. And it's just a fun camera to go out and shoot with, even if you don't come home with an award winning photo. :) One cool feature I discovered after buying this camera is that it has in camera focus bracketing, which is extremely convenient. I purchased the 45mm lens with the 907x 50c system. Now will I be able to afford another lens anytime soon? Absolutely not. But one day. The 45mm p lens is a great lens and is incredibly sharp. I've also discovered that Hasselblad has a ton of webinars on their YouTube explaining just about everything about their cameras and systems and even chats with other photographers. Even if you don't own a Hasselblad I highly recommend checking out their YouTube. There's always something new to learn. -@meltedconcept

My 65mm f2.8 is the new normal in a medium-format digital world.

Delightful lens. Compact and when attached to the X1D, it is makes the camera very portable. Who knew Medium Format would be called “portable”. Because of this lens, I will be carry my camera with me more often than not now. Very cheap by Hasselblad standard.

My favorite film for medium format camera use.

I have 2 of these I use for my medium format cameras.

I've puchased Tiffen filters for many years. I've used them on medium format, 35mm and my digital cameras and have always found them to be clear and high quality. I have tries other bargain brands glass before and only had to replace them due to hazzy or distorted glass.
