Hasselblad HC 150n f3.2 on Hasselblad X2D

H6D-100c and the HCD lenses
It has now been a little more than a month since I received my new Hasselblad H6D-100c and I have got to test it out properly, at least in the field. One of the things I was most curious about was how my lenses performed on this new, physically larger sensor. Most H-system lenses (denoted…
