Hi all,
Thanks in advance.
I’ve shot with film on a 500CM for the last 5-6 years. Predominately b&w but also occasionally comestible and portra as well. I am thinking about investing in an X2D ii, watched many YouTube reviews and vlogs, shot with it for a weekend and it was special but I just wanted to ask the community if that special feeling continues once you actually own it.
I’ve recently developed a liking to printing my work too and I love the film glow and colours.
I wanted to know if the X2D is worth it. Specially from those that have shot or continue to shoot film. Any comment or suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks again.
On the official website:
Due to recent supply chain fluctuations, we will be adjusting the price of the X2D II 100C to uphold its premium quality and ensure the reliability our photographers expect. Effective June 30 2026, the new price will be €7,500. Thank you for your continued support.
What kind of supply issue? And why only x2dII?
Interesting.
I brought my CFV 50c on vacation to use on my 500c, it doesn’t seem to charge with any usb C cords/bricks I have (Apple brand) literally how am I supposed to charge this thing without it’s cable???
So as a reminder, I posted on April 9th about the pretty egregious color regression bug, which in and of itself was probably enough reason to not be using it and sticking with 4.1.1. Link down below for those who did not see it.
Then in the last 5 days I've spotted two complaints about 4.1.2 not adhering to pixel size limits set in custom export profiles. I did some digging and yup, you guessed it, Phocus 4.1.2 seems to be fixated on only exporting images at 7000x5250 pixels, regardless of what you put in the relevant fields. It just flat out ignores it. Even a JPEG export using the canned JPG profile resizes a full-size image down to 7000x5250.
Wrote up a formal bug report and sent it to HB support with all the usual evidence they ask for, and then on a hunch decided a few hours later to test other export formats. Yup. Same behavior with TIFF and HEIF. So the file size path in the export code is just being ignored.
At this point I'd strongly recommend just steering clear of 4.1.2.

All, contemplating a move to the Hasselblad system. Know that within the "compatible lens" features within the new X2D ii the 20-35 is not included. AF-C for my workflow isn't all that important (especially at that wide of a view), but 10 stops of IBIS is...I'm having a hard time finding definitively if the X2D ii + the 20-35 still works together to perform at the quoted IBIS level, or is the expanded IBIS capability also limited to those lenses listed? Thanks in advance!
Kinda strange, don’t you think? Why does 907X 50C II hold its’ value so much, when it lacks like A LOT compared to X2D?
I am jumping from X1D II to X2D and was considering CFV 50C / 100C for the size
Shot with the XPan on Kentmere 400 pushed to 800
My 150mm had a sticky aperture that would intermittently stop down for exposures, but not every time, likely due to old grease. The lens was in beautiful condition when I sent it. Upon receiving it this week, the blades are gouged and dirty (and potentially installed in the wrong order)
He offered to refund the work done on the lens, but I think I may need a new lens now.
Can’t believe my eyes! Any recommendations on how I should proceed with damages such as these?
If you are shooting just RAW, the X2D II captures the full dynamic range in every frame, and Phocus can render that data as HDR after the fact. You only need RAW+JPG or RAW+HEIF if you want the camera itself to embed an HDR JPEG or HEIF at capture time.

I bought the items over the weekend for €70.
Everything is in good condition.
If someone really needs a specific item or Information (Zeiss Luminar), they can get in touch.
Unfortunately, it’s all in German, but nowadays you can translate things easily.
If there’s interest, I can scan the items, but I’m currently too lazy and have a lot to do

My question is this. With Sony showing off the A7Rvi and putting a fully stacked sensor in it. Does this now open the door to them making a fully stacked medium format sensor which Hassy would use in a new model? Because I have seen rumours Sony is working on a 180MP sensor for Medium Format.
First of all I know this is blasphemy, but I was just wondering if anybody else was just kind of knocking the idea around in their head if this camera is worth it over the Hassy?
