In #1 a less distracting background and better lighting on the tree would have produced a better photo. These things aside, you have yourself an interesting subject.
I agree. This was from a series of test images done on the fly with or Hasselblad X2D 100c - just out of the box [last Friday]. However, I put the camera through the paces this past Sunday. Was asked by head basketball coach LeVelle Moton - NCCU in Durham, NC - to shoot an annual charity event he sponsors that day. I shoot in native [RAW] format - the size of each image produced with our Hasselblad X2D was just over 200mb [I shot over 150 images with the X2D - 140 images were step and repeat portraits like the image posted of Coach Moton and his family. My wife shot over 300 images with our Sony a9 of the event]. This process also helped define how I will handle work flows with these even enormous files produced with the X2D.
Have seen some folks in reviews claim this camera is 'slow.' Not so, compared to my experience shooting with the X1D II for a couple years - Comparatively this X2D is blazing fast during image composition. The phase detect autofocus system with 5-axis stabilization in my X2D is a huge improvement over the contrast detect autofocus [and no stabilization] in my X1D II [but still produced stunning images as well]. The X2D is nowhere near what you'll find in my Full-Frame Sony A9 - But I am impressed with its speed.

Here’s hoping Hasselblad will come out with something like the X2D with the 50 mp sensor. Really don’t want to deal with such massive files.
I get that. With up to 250mb a pop it is brilliant to have a 1TB SSD installed in the camera.

I am expecting an upgrade from a 50mp Medium Format sensor to a 100mp sensor Hasselblad this week. Sharing an image taken of a hobby I recently began, caring for a Chinese Elm bonsai tree [Buckaroo]. What usually happens, with me, is that when I get a version 2 camera, the version 1 sits on the shelf - until I sell version 1. Will see, the X2D is a 'purist' camera - no video capability [long story why]. However, the X1D II has video capability - that we have never used [we depend upon the Sony cameras for video support]. Will consider marketing my 2 year old Hasselblad X1D II, soon.

Lovely picture, I find it interesting that the smoothness and dynamic range of that camera can be seen even in an on line JPEG. Beautiful.
Is that the 21mm?

The image posted was taken in San Diego with my Hasselblad X1D II 50C and Hasselblad XCD 45P, F4.
The attached image was taken with my Hasselblad XCD 21, F4 using the same camera.

Thanks. I will share images.
Took a walk to our neighborhood lake and took this image - one of the first taken when I purchased the X1D II camera back in Aug, 2021.

Where does the hate come from? Making insulting and vile comments is petty, and just does not add value, its just vile. It also speaks to a lack of character and intellect from the originator. You know who you are, and you need to chill, drink a cup of tea and relax.
Shame On you!
Shame On you!

Full disclosure- I lust after medium format digital. I used to do medium format film landscapes.
But then I would have to do ANOTHER lens buying spree. And probably have to go shopping for a new computer to handle those huge files.
Congratulations on the new camera, I'm jealous. But I'm going to hang onto my D850 for awhile longer!

Always trying to improve - looking forward to using this X2D while traveling. This X1D II is not a slouch either - wonderful tool in the studio. I have traveled to two places from North Carolina with my X1D II [California [San Diego/LA] and Charlotte, NC] - see attached images. Did not disappoint me, the quality of images is outstanding. With the capabilities updated in the X2D [stabilization and contrast detect, for instance], walk around landscapes and street images would have flowed differently. Without those capabilities updates identified, the experience was slowed down [allowed me to take time and think about what I was composing, like the days of old when I shot film. I expect this new Hasselblad will travel with me more often.
Cheers!
