Examples: Rock Creek and Yosemite
These various examples were taken near Rock Creek, and some in Yosemite. I would have had many more but for the camera failure (battery?) during my climb of Mt Whitney.
All examples all presented at up to full camera resolution. It is instructive to view the full resolution image and scroll around to see lens performance.
What I really like about the Hasselblad X1D image quality is the easy of getting an optimal or nearly optimal ETTR exposure. That along with very high pixel quality means that the images have a lot of margin in 'post'.
