The Hasselblad 55V is in a bit of a weird spot for me, I spent many years with the Leica Q series cameras and so the 38V was a natural replacement and that's the lens I pick up when I want to document. So whenever I've used the 55V it's because I haven't used it for a while, and I'm looking to remind myself why I have it.
A short-lived purchase, spurred by the need for a wider lens. The pitch was tempting: maybe the 20-35E could cover a range of uses while delivering that "exceptional" image quality it promises.
I chose Hasselblad knowing one day I would own this lens. This is my Noctilux, this is everything I wanted from a digital medium format system.
I bought the XCD 35-100mm hoping it would become my event lens. One zoom covering the range I shoot most, on a camera whose files I love more than anything else I own. It didn't work out, and I sold it. But "I sold it" is not the same as "it's a bad lens," and if you're weighing one up on the used market, the reason it left my bag might be the exact reason it belongs in yours.
For a long while I've been wanting to do something with the UsedLens database that felt obvious in hindsight but took a lot of groundwork to make possible. Up until now, a used camera listing was basically a name and a price. "Canon EOS R5 Body Excellent Condition - Boxed" sitting next to "Leica M10-P Silver Chrome Boxed with Strap 11ae." Each row in the database, a string of text and a number. Useful if you already knew what you were looking for. Not much help if you didn't.
