High shutter speed out of focus point spread functions with the XCD 90V

February 19, 2024 JimK 2 Comments

A reader asked me to test the high shutter speed bokeh of the Hasselblad XCD 90V on the X2D. I made the tests with my recently acquired production version of the lens. For a source, I used an LED flashlight with a 15 or 20 mm aperture at a distance of about 10 meters. That’s… [Read More]

I reported a year or so ago that I’d had trouble with the autofocus on the Hasselblad X2D-100C at family gatherings. That was using the XCD 38V lens. This year, I spent two days making those kinds of images with the X2D and the XCD 90mm f/2.5 V lens. Then I spent two more days… [Read More]
