p.1 #1 · Hasselblad X2D2 lens selection


Hello,

I am planning to acquire an X2D2 in October and I am struggling on lens choice. I am coming from using a combination of a Leica M11 and a variety of primes as well as an SL3 with a variety of lenses. My use case is primarily travel in Europe and some limited product photography once in a while.

After a lot of reading I have narrowed my lens choices to 25V+38V+75P or 28P+38V+75P. I do shoot low light a great deal of the time. I am torn due to the slightly wider view on the 25V and the extra stop vs the smaller angle of view but being much more portable 28P.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Darrin

I went 25v/38v/90v (not a big fan of the 55v) I think that makes for potentially the best travel setup unless you want to go with the single zoom lens approach. Of the 3 lenses the 90v is definitely the star of the group. I like that they all have the same filter size and the lenses all work the same way for activating manual focus. As for the 25v vs 28p field of view I think 28 and 38 don't work as well together. I think if you're going 28 then the 45 probably makes more sense?

I did consider going 30/65/90v but I'm pretty happy with this setup. I realize AF-C is one of the big selling points of the V lenses and the X2D2 and it works but it wouldn't be a primary reason to go that route.
