r/hasselblad

I’m experiencing intermittent hot shoe failures when using manual single-pin triggers. I’ve tested with the Godox X3 and X3Pro (with Legacy Mode enabled), as well as the Godox RT-16, which is a single-pin manual trigger.

The issue occurs inconsistently during normal shooting, with no clear pattern, which makes it extremely frustrating.

What’s even more frustrating is that neither company has provided any meaningful support when I’ve reached out to them, which leaves me without a clear path to resolve the problem.

Has anyone had reliable success with any trigger that works well with Godox flashes on the X2D II? I haven’t come across a dependable solution so far, and I’m honestly starting to consider switching systems because of this.

I have the opportunity to be able to afford the x2d with 75p. *or the 55?

I'm a family and children photographer- 11 years full time 2 studios.

I want to build up my portrait, headshot and Senior area. I am obsessed with the color and quality of the Hasselblad.

I've been a Nikon user; I still use my workhorse d750 with the 24-75... my studio is small. I also use my Z7 with 35 and 50 (adaptor) * I use the crap out of my gear. I know this is prob not a camera for chasing children and flopping around...

Looking to see examples of work using the x2d with the 75/55 or 45

Hi guys! Does AFC work when tethered to Phocus? Thank you 🙏

I just bought an untested for parts 500EL off ebay (yeah, i know, took a risk of needing a service) and it’s jammed. The mirror’s up, the barn doors are open, and the shutter winding peg is in the fired state. I tried manually cocking it from the back, but that didn’t do anything. It only rotates a few degrees before feeling jammed up

Fresh 9v battery, when I press the shutter button the feeler peg for the darkslide springs out of the body and retracts when I release it.

Any potentially easy fixes I can try before I send it off to have it CLA’d?

I've been wanting to get myself a digital back for a while since the film prices has gone up(again) quite recently. I finally saved enough for the phase one P45 over the past year or two, but my friend told me to consider saving just a bit more and just buy the 907 instead. Now I am wondering whether or not I should get myself the P45 or listen to his suggestion and get the 907 after a year or two, hopefully it will devalue as time goes on but we're never too sure of this.

Just bought a 500cm and it seems there is an issue with the winding but I'm not sure. When I'm winding on after firing the shutter, winding seems to have full tension for the first 90% of the winding. Right as the hollow red circle on the winding knob gets to the red dot on the body, the winding seems to suddenly drop all tension as I finish the 360 turn. No tension between the hollow red circle and the full red circle. There’s a loud clack as the knob reaches the hollow red circle. I have the old style circular knob without a crank handle. It's not nearly noticeable with the back off but I can still tell the winding is suddenly dropping tension at the beginning of the last 10%. When I put the film back on, it's much more pronounced, and even more so when there's film inside the back. It seems like at 90% of a full 360 turn of the winding knob, the winding instantly drops all tension instead of keeping tension throughout the whole 360 winding turn.

I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour or not lol.
