The Hasselblad XCD 80mm f/1.9 and XCD 135mm f/2.8 are original-generation lenses that can easily be overlooked when comparing them to the newer V, E and P series. But with the improved hardware and autofocus capabilities of the X2D, these lenses have a new lease on life — and the results can be absolutely beautiful. I took both lenses out for a creative, whimsical portrait shoot with Hannah in the beautiful Hong Kong countryside, using golden-hour light, backlighting, bubbles and plenty of natural surroundings to explore their rendering, subject separation and character. But this isn't just a portrait shoot. We also put these lenses to work photographing cats at a cat café, birds with the 135mm and teleconverter, and street portraits in the heart of Hong Kong. If you're a portrait photographer who loves beautiful rendering, distinctive optical character and discovering overlooked gear, I think you'll enjoy this one.
