Hey Gajan, nice work as always. I've really liked the colors of the Hasselblad shots I've seen here and with other shooters. One thing I remember was Matt Granger directly comparing this camera to the GFX 100S and it was the first time I thought another camera had better default colors than Fuji. I'd be very curious to see how the colors compare to the new Reala Ace sim on the GFX 100 II as to my eyes it looked like a closer to realistic look more in line with Hasselblad but I haven't seen a direct 1:1 comparison by anyone.
If you have the chance I'd love your observations on that.
I'd want to spend more time with them side by side but I can share some insights. If we're talking about accuracy, the X2D wins easily. It just captures a more accurate colour profile. Reala Ace has this warmth and low-contrast look to it because it's not trying to be accurate. But here's the thing, it comes down to what the photographer likes more. Some people may prefer a look vs accuracy because it brings them closer to their finish line. Hope this helps.
Sure! I was just curious. I would love to see someone come up with a Hasselblad film sim recipe for Fuji, I was really struck by the side by side and as I said it's the only time I've seen Fuji compared to another where I liked the other more.
Great review! You’ve just made me feel even better about the purchase I made yesterday! Looking forward to getting my hands on this beast!
Thanks Mike! You're in for a lot of fun. Enjoy the journey.
Thanks man, looking forward to the journey for sure. BTW, would welcome any feedback on my new site... https://soul-instinct-desire.com
Now that I am so happy with the Q3 & Z9 the Hasselblad comes out. Ahh well. Thanks Gajan
Fantastic review Gajan. I know what I’d be buying if I won the contest
Thanks for reading, Mike.
