News Hasselbald X2D II

I am very happy with the X2D, but . . .

Resistance is futile...

I think the X2D II is a massive step forward for Hasselblad and its users. The improvement on the autofocus alone is worth it already. According to the reviews, you can finally use the X2DII for street photography. The X2DII seems to be finally a serious alternative for those people who where thinking about Fuji medium format formerly, because of the better AF.

Resistance is futile, yes. I have one on order. It's a ton of money but I would rather have the camera than have the money. I'll just eat a lot of beans and rice.

If I had my druthers I would still be married. But it was a difficult situation. At my age, really old, it is "Why the hell not?"

I think I have a buyer for the X2D. It will be a below-market sale as the buyer is a good fellow and a friend so we should both be happy with the deal. They are running ~US$6,000 on eBay for a clean one with box and accessories, which this one is.
 
I’m offered £4000 by a Hasselblad retailer here in the uk. Sounds reasonable as there’s always at least 20% markup plus their RoC to consider.
 
i have been using my x2d for street photograpy all the time. with the 55 and always wide open. never had any problems.
 
FYI to all aspiring X2D II owners: the RRS L-plate that I have used for a year on my X2D fits the new X2D II perfectly.
