2025 Photography Milestones: New Gear, Techniques and a few favorite images.
This year has been quite a productive one. I have managed to capture a few images that have been in my head for some time. A couple of visits to Denmark, and a long awaited photography trip to London have contributed to that. But I have also managed to pull out a few keepers from…

Ultrawide lenses for Hasselblad X?
For a long time, the widest native option in the Hasselblad X ecosystem was the excellent XCD 21mm f4. By now (dec 2024) the 20-35mm zoom has been released and is readily available. The 21mm now seems to be discontinued. 20mm on the 33x44mm medium format sensor gives an angle of view of about 108…

PC Nikkor 28mm f3.5 shift-lens on Hasselblad X2D
The PC Nikkor 28mm f3.5 was made for shift on 35mm cameras and thus has a larger image-circle than regular full-frame lenses. But is the image circle large enough to cover the Hasselblad’s 33x44mm medium format sensor, and is there any room for movements? And how about image quality? Is this a viable alternative to…

Tilt and Shift in Landscapephotography: will we see a dedicated solution for Hasselblad X?

Will Hasselblad ever make a dedicated tilt-shift XCD-lens? Will we see an XTS, a version of the HTS-adapter? So far, we are left in the dark. But that doesn’t mean we…

Spring, woodlands and very (very!) early mornings
It’s a pleasure being out in the woods this time of year. After the long, dark winter and (often) grey and dull early spring, the forests are now full of life. Birds tweeting, flowers blooming and the wonderful vibrant spring-foliage. My favorite time of day out there is around sunrise. The soft pre-sunrise light has…

Clearing summer storm, Geiranger
This is an iconic viewpoint on the road down to Geiranger in Norway. I have passed here many times, always stunned by the view. The steep mountains are impressive enough, but the small turf-houses really make the scene for me. They add a sense of timeless romance and nurture thoughts around how life could be…

Behind the scenes – Bavaria
I had planned an autumn-trip to Bavaria and the German Alps since early summer. Besides the magnificent mountains in the area, I also wanted to capture some archetypical countryside and cultural landscapes. I could probably just as well have gone to Austria, Switzerland or the Italian Alps, but Munich turned out to be easiest to…
