Are you happy with your switch to Hasselblad? Main likes?
I am happy with the switch to Hasselblad. I love the images that come straight out of the camera. The colors science is real. The menus are so much better IMO. The AF on the X2D II works faster and better than I imagined. Almost most importantly for me is that shooting sunsets gives better gradation of tones and color around the sun. The fuji was a bit rough in that department. Also, the Hassy lenses overall give nice sunstars if shooting into the sun whereas the Fuji did not. At least with the lenses I use. I bonded to this camera very quickly.

Excellent! Unfortunately, Hasselblad stopped making lenses of this quality. The new V-lenses are simply a lightweight, touring option.
Yes, the medium format Zeiss lenses were absolutely fantastic. I don't even know where Hasselblad sources its lenses from these days.
great images! are the last 2 wth the 45mm? they really pop out of the screen, i am surprise that lens can achieve such view.
makes me rethink my lens plan
I just got the 100ii, and my end plan was to get the 30mm f3.5 and 55mm f1.7, but it would take a long time due to $$$. perhaps i should look into the 45mm instead

Thank you! Yes, the last two are with the 45mm. I honestly prefer it to the 55/1.7 (sold that lens but miss it sometimes).
