Hasselblad XCD 55V

$3,699.00 · strongly positive

“I am using the 55V. This is the F2.5 lens. This is kind of their more higherend lens. This thing is sick.”

“I was primarily shooting with the 35 to 100 e, but luckily Chris also shoots with the X2D II, so we're able to keep the 25 V on his camera for most of the trip.”

“I've been running the Atlas Mercury 1.5x anamorphic on this thing and then open gate just gives you a little bit of extra real estate.”

“Now, as I mentioned, the Sony 24 to 50 F/2.8G has been a it's had a permanent place in my travel kit since it was released. I have taken this thing around the world with me almost literally.”

“This is the 28P. It's an F4 lens, which not super fast, but honestly, I found it to be good enough. It's probably one of the cheapest Hasselblad lenses out there, so we love that.”

“Filter I Used (Shortstache Everyday 1/4th)”

“I busted out the lens chart from Duclos Lenses to stack them up side by side and probably no surprise that the 25V performs the best from a sharpness standpoint.”

“I personally haven't been too upset with the lack of NDs since I use the Mofage Poco as my PL to L-mount adapter.”

“I'm sitting here, I swap from this one, I swap to a SmallRig V50 V-mount battery, then I swap to a V99.”

Mofage Poco Filter

$439.00 · Mixed — said both good and bad

“Now, the way I attach it to the camera is with the Mofage Poco. I think the new version is a lot better, so you should probably get that one.”

“On the 55 I like to keep the short stash everyday polarizer/mist filter. I think it kind of takes off that digital edge to it.”

“SmallRig iPhone ND Filter”

“This is the Nomadic Peter McKinnon 8 L Sling. It's in the coyote color because brown is cool.”

“Well, Falcam recently sent over their new cage for the X2D II. I believe they're calling it the Native Guardian.”

Kling 3.0

strongly positive

“We're going to use the Kling 3.0 partner model and uploaded the exploded image as our start frame, and then the screen export from our video as our end frame. Kling 3.0 is currently my favorite model if we're doing these types of transition type thing.”

Monitor+ App

positive

“Then for the app, I'm using the Monitor Plus app. There's also the Sony Monitor and Control app, but I find this one to be a little bit better.”
