With the X2D, my initial concern was that it would suffer diffraction earlier because it has a slightly smaller sensor (in terms of physical dimensions), resulting in smaller photo-sites to accommodate the 100mp resolution. This problem starts on the H6 at around f16 to f22, so you wouldn’t really want to shoot beyond this point. This is when the image depth of field increases but the very fine detail actually becomes softer. But when you start to close the aperture down from f11 to f16 for increased depth of field, you start to experience the problem of diffraction. ![]() However, the lens ‘sweet spot’ tends to be middle aperture, meaning f8 or f11 will usually get you the best quality. This can be difficult to achieve with traditional lenses, which is why we often use tilt-shift lenses or tilt-shift adapters, or focus stacking.Īs an alternative, we might choose to stop the lens to f16 or f22 to maximise depth of field. We need our products to appear sharp from their front through to the back. It’s useful in the studio too, of course, as the higher sync speeds also allow you to avoid light pollution from your studio modelling lamps.Īs product photographers, we want as much depth of field as possible. I’m often shooting fashion on location and the ability to block out existing ambient light, or underexpose ambient light, whilst retaining correct exposure on the flash is a very important part of my creative process. This is a huge benefit for a photographer like me. The leaf shutter means we’re not restricted by flash sync speeds such as 1/125th of a second because we can sync at 1/2000th of a second or even 1/4000th of a second using the new 90mm lens. There are also adaptors for XPAN lenses and the XV system.Īs with the Hasselblad medium format system, we have the great benefit of the leaf shutter which is actually within the camera lens. If you’re an H6 user then you’ll be happy to know that there’s an adaptor for your lenses and even an optical convertor.Īccording to Hasselblad, the convertor will actually improve the resolution of your H-lenses, but I’ve not actually tested this out yet. However, if you already own any X1D lenses they’re all compatible with this new system. ![]() At launch, there are three new design lens choices for this new camera: a new 38mm, a 55mm, and a 90mm lens.
