Hasselblad Lens dummies

I know something like this is hard to say, but can anyone tell me roughly how much something like this might be worth?
I think I’d like to buy it from the owner.
Does anyone have any experience with something like this?
I imagine it’s really difficult to estimate its value.

X2D II pros shooting interiors: waiting on Capture One tethering, or already working around it?

I'm a DP and photographer in Brooklyn. A big chunk of my stills work is interiors and portraits, almost all of it tethered into Capture One. I've been circling the X2D II for months and I'm very close to pulling the trigger (~$13K all-in with glass), but I keep hesitating on workflow.

Where I'm at:

  • C1 has supported X2D/X2D II raws natively since 16.8.3 in July, which is huge.
  • Tethering is still "later in 2026," with no firm date that I can find.
  • C1 uses its own color profiles, not HNCS. From what I've read, if you want Hasselblad's color or HNCS HDR, you're still going through Phocus at the end of the day.

I feel like capture one is just a part of my workflow now and don't want to change anything.

So my questions:

  1. Is anyone else holding off on buying until C1 tethering actually ships?
  2. If you're already shooting the X2D II professionally, especially interiors or a setting where clients are looking at a monitor making decisions (not one single ipad), how are you working right now with that set up?
  3. Any word on when tethering is actually landing?

I'd especially like to hear from working pros. Thanks in advance.

Focusing Screen Cleaning

Hey all, I am a working professional and frequently shoot several rolls in my various Hasselblad cameras, as a result, my focusing screens get pretty gross. Sweat, dust, etc.

Is there a way to clean these screens more effectively than just rocket blowing them? A lot of my screens have debris that require more than just a blower. Thank you in advance!
