Hasselblad XCD 30mm f/3.5 - Pros & Cons

well corrected is nice
gaussian-blur look is great
very elegant design and a has superb build quality
nicer as it creates an easier patter to read
Colour rendition is beautiful to my eye
and very consistent with all
very sharp wide open
the lens feels very solid
solid and well-built
Hasselblad skin tones are far superior
make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images
Hassy is also sharper and shows more details

Digital medium format is not strictly the same as film medium format
5 lens does not physically extend in length through the various focus distances
manual focusing is actually quite tricky
there is no shutter in the camera
there is not a single switch or control
wide lenses shows some distortion and corner dimness
focal plane shutters are typically limited to 1/250-second sync
barrel distortion Dim corners
Barrel distortion and corner dimness are both issues of concern
some barrel distortion Dim corners
Glare is largely absent in these conditions
The sensor is nowhere near the resolution limit of the lens
neutral in colour and contrast
Uncivilised and lacking in elegance
the files as looking flat and lifeless
Apertures smaller than f/16 start suffering from diffraction
Sony is not my X1D
lack of long exposure support is extremely limited for landscape photography
It does not store any personal data
Sony skin tones are pretty bad
the Sony does not take a better photo
does MF have to be so expensive
Sony a bad camera
No medium format shooter is that obsessed with AF

The Hasselblad XCD 3,5/30mm captures majestic views with excellent crispness, but like many wide lenses shows some distortion and corner dimness.
