Thank you very much for your comments which I really appreciate a lot! Charles and Stuart, I agree with you about the model. Sura is of timeless beauty and elegance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Hi benqui, Take a look here Hasselblad X2D and Noctilux 0.95/50 for portraits. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
S Maclean Posted October 15, 2022 Share #22 Posted October 15, 2022 Beautiful all around. I agree the model is fantastic on her expressiona and honesty whcih paired with really great light balance and composition makes for a fantastic combo. There's a veiled softness throghout that I am not sure I love. I am initially attractied to it and then slightly distracted. Her eyes cut through it and overall I cannot fault it technically, I am assuming it is a choice (along with choosing the equipment combo.) Overall it balances out. In short. Beautifull shots!

DC-S5 Posted October 16, 2022 Share #23 Posted October 16, 2022 Good Morning Marc, beautiful pictures! Sura ist ein tolles Modell, die Hassi wohl die richtige Kamera für Dich und ein dickes Lob von Monika die ebenfalls begeistert ist. Gruß nach Süden, weiter so, ich kann sehen das Dir das Fotografieren mit dieser Kamera Freude macht. Rolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to discuss the photo. It was my fist attempt with this combo, there is a softness in the photos which I like a lot, but I need more experience to really see how they work together.

kidigital Posted October 21, 2022 Share #31 Posted October 21, 2022 Makes me wonder how a 75/1.25 / X2D combination would look. Shallower DOF of course. Especially curious if there is much difference in vignetting with a 50 versus 75 on the X2D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T25UFO Posted October 22, 2022 Share #32 Posted October 22, 2022 Probably the best series of portraits I have seen on this forum. Beautiful model, wonderfully posed. Absolutely first class. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spydrxx Posted October 22, 2022 Share #34 Posted October 22, 2022 I keep coming back to this series to see what I could improve upon in my shots. Very compelling photos and a terrific model. Great combinations, as others have mentioned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilou16 Posted March 7, 2023 Share #36 Posted March 7, 2023 Quite soft but nice. The issue for me with using the electronic shutter is not the rolling shutter but the long delay between the moment I press the shutter release and the moment the picture is taken. I never “freeze” my model so I can catch the beautiful natural moments. For the type of portrait I do, cannot use my beautiful and small Leica glass. The 80 1.9 is great, just wish it was more compact; maybe the 90 2.5 will do marvels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.9/80 is really wonderful and my favorite Hasselblad lens. The 90 is for sure more compact, but is it really worth to change? The 1.9/80 is not my lens which I use for travels, and for a portrait session I see it as a workout Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
