No harm in a gear review sometimes! And kudos to Thomas for hiking several miles to do it, that’s a lovely and rare thing in the YouTube community. It’s about the journey, after all.
-
I like that you value the hikes and the views as much as the (potential) pictures. Nice one, Tom!
-
Happy that you took us on this hike with you, Thomas. I agree with the tighter view on that tree. Good shot. Good straight forward review of the 'Blad, too. Great camera for certain jobs but certainly not an all 'round implement. I shot medium format film for many years and know about the advantages and restrictions of that format. Great images but sacrificing a good deal of versatility. Thank goodness digital happened along and brought the image quality and versatility with it.
-
Cheers for the effort - from a senior photographer struggling with mobility issues. Much appreciated! Love your honest opinions and your excellent photography.
-
Thanks Thomas once again!!! You make me remember when I was you age and what I should have done with my life!!!!! But instead absolutely wasted it instead of chasing my dreams!!!!!! You are definitely an inspiration!!!!!!
-
I think the softness towards the edges could be down to the sensor stabilisation. I've experienced that sometimes with wide angle lenses on cameras with that feature. And the lenses have been sharp edge to edge on a tripod with the stabilisation off.
-
The dedication to the landscape photography craft right there with that hike
-
I sold my R5 for an X2D, and I love it. Adapted Leica R glass (80-200 f/4) has taken care of the long end.
-
I have followed you for learning landscape photography, instead I am learning to love and appreciate nature more! Sometimes I think you enjoy the journey than photography. Thanks for sharing such nice contents.

This camera and the 21mm deliver poetry together. The 45P is generally considered a soft lens though.
-
I couldn’t justify the cost of that kit, especially with the superb quality of Nikon “Z” glass. 100MP is quite enticing, but it also doubles storage capacity - a beautiful kit I might add. My solution for a field kit is to leave the f/2.8 glass home, and pack the f/4 glass - 14-30, and 24-200 “z” glass. Cuts the weight beyond half and still gives some reach when needed. Great video as always!
-
Hasselblad is one of the camera and gears you dream about but personally I can’t imagine buying I would be terrified that I accidentally scratch it or if my right hand decides “oh sorry I dident realize I held on to something sorry I drop it” Thanks for another great video
-
Awesome video as always. Love the authenticity.
-
Coledale round is one of my favourite walks in the Lakes. Thanks for taking me back.
-
Wonderful video, Tom. I'd LOVE to do the kind of hikes you do, and I admire your dedication to your work. Like you, I can't be swayed by the lure of the mega-megapixel medium format cameras because they all lack long glass. I shoot most of my images with a 100-500, so a Blad or GFX just wouldn't cut it. I like the orange shutter button, though...
-
An interesting camera for sure. I found the horseshoe a challenging hike, especially the long decent.
-
Great video as always. I use the OM systems OM-1 and can take several lenses hiking as the system is very portable. Yes it’s 20mp but also has an 80mp hi-res mode and works well for landscape photography. As with all cameras it too has it’s caveats. Can’t recommend it enough though. But....each to their own 😊. Thanks for sharing this tech review.
-
Tom. You are real lovely wonderful photographer to listen to and follow on your adventures. Bravo. Ps just sold off my Nikon z gear and traded for Hasselblad XDii I’m almost 70 but what the heck it’s a magical beast . I’ll roam mountains in northern New Mexico w it 😎
-
I got the Hassy "Adventure" Light Field kit which is the same - X2d, XCD 4/21, XCD 45P BUT in addition you gat it in a hard case with a Black Rapid strap. I love it!
-
Great video, thanks. I have the X2D and it is very special. Querky and different but really makes me think about the shot before I take it. Great channel …!!!
