Hasselblad X2D Mark II: Handheld or Tripod

[Michael Erlewine]

Just for kicks, I have to see the difference between handholding the new Hasselblad X2D2 and using a light tripod. See for yourself. Here are two images taken with the Mark II and the XCD 20-35 E lens, one handheld and one on tripod. Of course, the handheld version depends upon your hands and how you hold it,. However, from my experience, although the handheld version is quite good, the tripod is considerably better, as I wondered about and expected. So, if I have the patience and time, I will continue use a tripod to get that difference, which is still there.
