The Hasselblad 80mm f/1.9 is incredible. Its a major addition to the Hasselblad X1D lens lineup in that it has an incredible personality.
Available in December 2018 at B&H goo.gl/hnLeUZ
The Hasselblad X1D is still a fairly young system. Hasselblad has a roadmap of coming lenses and the 80mm f/1.9 is the 6th lens in the lineup. More importantly this lens represents an unusual lens type for medium format in its aperture. There currently is no lens like this available on any native medium format system and that's what makes this special. Hasselblad have developed a new voice and if this is any indication of the future direction, its going to be incredible.

@Joe_VanCleave 5 лет назад

Great review, Ted. BTW, the reason why the lens holds up to f/16 without significant loss from diffraction is that diffraction is related to the absolute physical size of the aperture, not the f/ratio alone. It's related to the ratio of the area of the aperture opening relative to the area within one wavelength of the aperture edge; smaller physical apertures have more edge area relative to the center of the opening. Hence why large format photographers commonly used f/64 without significant diffraction (Group f/64).

Spot on.

@TheWarWasp 5 лет назад

This is fucking fascinating, thank you for explaining it. Would that mean a smaller lens on, say, a 35mm camera would suffer MORE from diffraction at smaller apertures?

@stuartschaffner9744 5 лет назад

Joe is right. The angular diffraction depends mostly on the diameter of the front lens element compared to the wavelength of light,or lambda/D. The linear blur on the sensor scales as the focal length L. So, the blur spot diameter scales as lambda*L/D or lambda*f. So basically diffraction blur has little to do with the internals of the lens. The internals cause other kinds of blur and I’ll bet this beauty keeps that to an absolute minimum. To get more accurate estimates, look up “Airy disk”. I did some rough calculations once, and a decent estimate would be a blur spot diameter of about 1.2*f micrometers for a diffraction-limited lens. So, at f/16 your blur spot would be about 20 micrometers for red light. At f/2 it would be only about 2.4 micrometers. To see how that compares with the resolution of your sensor, calculate the pixel stride or find the grain size if you are using film. Large formats mean large pixel strides for the same number of megapixels. Remember that blur affects micro contrast at least as much as it affects the edges of objects. Sadly, I doubt that I will ever get to try out this fabulous lens.

@CanadianArchivist 5 лет назад

Absolutely stunning images. We have DSLRs our, and the battle for mirrorless mainly between Canon and Nikon for the spots behind Sony and Fuji. Medium formats are different and if any company that is going to target Hasselblad is not going to take top spot. Hasselblad with this lens and new camera systems is taking steps to make sure they are at the top of the game. I personally won’t be able to afford a camera like that but it is nice to know that they are out there with incredible breathtaking images and appreciate the quality of colour etc. I have a 50mm 1.8 lens for my camera and it is my favourite lens. I can be one on one with the subject and I’m so impressed how the subject can can be separated from the background or immediate foreground based on the aperture and where I’m focused. You discuss photography as an art and it is. Great channel and always enjoying the topics. you choose to discuss.

It's great to see a modern digital equivalent to that lens. Hope to see many more like this.

@KNURKonesur 5 лет назад

It does look nice and it definitely is a step in the right direction... but it's still no contest, the Contax has much more character and much more interesting bokeh, which sets it apart from the look modern lenses give. And it's still over 2x cheaper even if you adapt it to be used on a Phase One camera instead of a Contax 645.

Nice intro to the Hasselblad lens, sir! As a landscape and product STILLS X-T3 shooter (no video), I have been debating on selling my Fuji kit (reluctantly), and moving into FF, specifically the Nikon Z7 (or the Sony a7Rlll). Since I shoot 99% tripod-mounted, neither IBIS nor video interests me. So, my question is, for large print output (around 24"x 36" prints), from which system (Sony or Nikon Z) would I see more of an improvement in terms of image sharpness, detail rendition, dynamic range, base ISO performance, etc., would I see over the already excellent X-T3? (And BTW, medium format is a bit out of my price range.) Also, why did you not mention that Fujifilm also makes some of the Hasselblad lenses? Thanks!

@tumamauto 4 года назад

I have heard in a few videos that the f-stop is different depending on format, but if my memory does not fail me, the f-Stop or f-No., is the ratio of the focal length to the diameter of the main lens, this being, that it does not matter what format you are shooting(35, Medium, etc etc,) an f-2 should be the same across formats!

@parinyaek 5 лет назад

Could you elaborate on what exactly is the micro-contrast? Can we adjust it later in the post-processing?

@koryeasterday5164 5 лет назад

There's a lot of debate on exactly what this means. There's no specific way to measure it, so it's kind of something you can perceive but not quantify - if that make sense. Think of it this way: Let's say you're looking at a black and white photograph of a car. The side panel of the car goes from light gray to dark gray. A lens with good micro contrast will allow you to capture a high range of grays in the transition from light to dark. A lens with bad micro contrast will capture fewer shades of gray. The sharpness of the two lenses could be exactly the same but the one with better micro contrast will have color and shading transitions that look more life-like.

@PedroLauridsenRibeiro 3 года назад

Hi Ted, really a gorgeous lens... I'd like to take the opportunity and ask a bit of a "noob" question, since this is a major theme when it comes to this lens: what is "microcontrast" and why it's different from "sharpness"? Reading Zeiss's white paper on how to read MTF charts doesn't quite clarify this issue for me. Is it related to the so called lens "plasticity" - roughly, the "3D" look you describe, which makes images sort of "pop" out of the picture, particularly regarding textures - which made German lenses such as Zeiss, Leica and Schneider famous back in the film days?

@fotografieuweroder4175 4 года назад

In former times (more than 20 years ago and even earlier), the 80 mm from Hasselblad was called the most expensive body front cap. For that amount of money, I am still interested to look at that detail. The mentioned colours here in some of the comments are kind of a "phocus" or Capture One issue, as far as I am experienced.

@AgnostosGnostos 5 лет назад

Hasselblad X1D camera doesn't have a mechanical shutter. That is one of the reasons of its very short flange focal distance 20mm which is incredible for a medium format digital camera. Instead Hasselblad XCD mount lenses have internal leaf shutter. That permits very fast flash synch speeds which is highly important but it restricts the size of aperture. The f/1.9 isn't something impressive for medium format lenses but for a medium format lens with leaf shutter it is phenomenal.

@Oculus729 5 лет назад

Ah, the lens leaf shutter is mechanical.

@wandererstraining 5 лет назад

Hey, nice review and nice photos, but I'm really not sure I'm convinced by the medium format look thing. I you were to use an equivalent focal length and equivalent aperture at the same distance from your subject and background, wouldn't the shot look pretty much the same? Not saying it's not a nice lens, and not saying that medium format doesn't have advantages. Just saying, can't most of the look that doesn't pertain to the lens' specifics be replicated with a smaller sensor provided an equivalent exists? And with current offerings, in terms of shallow depth of field, isn't the full-frame format unbeatable? To me, the advantage of medium format would be that since the sensor is bigger and the pixel density generally smaller (bigger pixels), you don't need as fast lenses to get as shallow a depth of field, which makes it easier to make good lenses wide open for medium format than it is for smaller formats, at the small disadvantage that the glass is bigger. Also, the bigger sensor has better signal to noise ratio, which can translate to better sensor performance (more pixels, cleaner signal, better colors) if the same technology is used. Anyway. The full frame equivalent of this lens would be a 63mm f/1.5 lens. I don't think such a lens exists, the closest would be something like a Zeiss Otus 55mm, which is wider with a slightly bigger aperture. I think that's why the 80mm f/1.9 is a unique lens in that regard. Would be interesting to see more fast medium format lenses, especially wider angle ones. Would be sweet if Hasselblad came up with a 45mm f/1.4 or something. It would also offer a field of view/depth of field combination unseen on any other system (equivalent would be a 35mm f/1.1 or so).

@@goncaloproenca8831 I'm aware there are plunty of fast FF 50mm's. Fast 55mm + is not as common. For a comparison between FF and Medium format it'd be ideal tough comprable focal lengths. Otherwise a side by side test won't work so well.

Well Ted I take my words back I said back 2 years ago. After watching this video, I drove to my camera shop and bought not 1 but 2 907x, one for the wife. And in addition this 80mm 1.9, 65 1.8 and the 40 3.5! Thanks for the poison Ted!!

@jimbeam4736 5 лет назад

Wouldn´t the Sigma 105 mm f1.4 be just as good for much less money?

@Nightshade1881 5 лет назад

Jim Beam yup Most people wouldn’t notice the difference between lenses

@KCAPELGAE 5 лет назад

The leaf shutter inside that 80mm costs more than the whole Sigma lol. But in all seriousness, for most people yeah probably. They're completely different lenses for different purposes tho.

@jimbeam4736 5 лет назад

@@Nightshade1881The Sigma should have much shallower dof too, because it isn´t only faster, it´s longer too. And for the leaf shutter - nice if you want to use flash but but the reviewer didn´t seem to use it a lot. So, if you are one of the 5,5 people that have the Hassi than you buy that lens but if you don´t have that camera, why would you want to buy it. Why is it "the best lens you can buy"?

@shineymcshine 5 лет назад

nope, sigmas render flat as a board with faded colours. they're over engineered for sharpness + a milky out of focus area, at the expense of depth and colour rendering.

@Oculus729 5 лет назад

Wouldn't it have been nice if you would have done a side by side shoot with say the Canon 50mm f/1.2 or the Nikkor 50 f/1.4.

@jordanwatts290 5 лет назад

Okay, why have I never heard of this brand before? It looks AMAZING. My question is, what did the photos look raw, there's no way they came out of camera looking that beautiful!!! If so then :O Please let me know my man! Edit: Also swear to god let me be your apprentice I work for free. Seriously.

@zacharyc_npt 5 лет назад

I really want to thank you for putting out so much photography content. I will admit, though, that I’m having a hard time getting to the end of your videos. Can I suggest that you create different skill level version of your videos? That way I can still get the content without the basic review that I already know.

@EduardodeRegules 5 лет назад

10:13 "There's a certain look that you always associeted with Hasselblad" yeah, square photos, and these new cameras does't have square sensors for optimal distribution of light.

@andyvan5692 Год назад

nice review Ted, but one reason most likely NOT to go straight to the 90/105 focal length is that these when converted to 6x6, for ease of maths gives 150/180 or 250 ( 135 equivalent in 35 format); and these are long and heavy, with a lot of glass, so having the wide apature in a std focal length lens (55 equivalent for 645 in 35 format) is problematic to design, and for most designs is hard to focus with anything but the full auto-focus feature set ( with contrast and phase detect systems, and magnification of Live view in the viewfinder); eg the new Leica 75mm f1.25 Noct or the 50 mm f0.95 lenses.

@stuartschaffner9744 5 лет назад

Cool lens! I'll take your word that its microcontrast (chromatic aberration and flare) is super. I'm not personally that pleased with making most of an image blurry, but I accept that others with valid artistic visions use that effectively. With this lens, even on RU-vid, I could see that there was something special about the bokeh. Initially, I found it disturbing. On the image of the tiny butterfly on someone's fingers, I found my eye drawn to an almost spookily coherent blur line outlining the person's thumb. If other people have the same reaction then the normal use of blurring in composition isn't working. In fact, what the backgrounds all looked like was more what I would get out of Photoshop by using a Gaussian blur filter instead of the filter that mimics lens blur. Sad, perhaps, but could the fact that people are so used to the point spread function for cheap lenses that they find this lens disturbing? After spending more time looking at the blur I got past the "ugh" stage. However, I think that most people will spend only a few seconds before rejecting something that looks different.

@lukazupie7220 5 лет назад

Robyn O'Donnell how is it twice? More like 25% more? And even that just for square pictures? You are also paying about 1$ per picture for film and processing, right? And you can’t see results immediately.. I am total noob please correct me if i am wrong:)

@DinosawrsAreAwesome 5 лет назад

luka zupie 645 is a 60mm x 45mm frame, the x1d is 43mm x 32mm, its the same as the difference between the x1d and full frame 135. Digital medium format has a ways to go, the 9500 dollars I'd spend getting the x1d over the Mamiya could be a lot of film.

@KNURKonesur 5 лет назад

@@DinosawrsAreAwesome just a small correction, no 645 format film is actually 60x45mm. The actual size of most negatives from 645 cameras is 56x41.5mm.

@KNURKonesur 5 лет назад

Just to chip in, you can also use the Sekor 80/1.9 on a Phase One camera. And you cannot get used P1 cameras for good money nowadays.
