Digital Alternatives to the Hasselblad XPan MPB 2022-12-07 | 00:00 Hasselblad XPan Introduction00:29 Why use a digital alternative to the Hasselblad XPan01:37 The Hasselblad XPan Overview02:25 DIY Hasselblad XPan Image Alternatives03:23 Sigma DP0 Quatro 05:42 Fujifilm GFX 50R 06:54 Additional Fujifilm GFX Benefits07:20 Hasselblad X1D-50c 09:29 Hasselblad XPan Digital Alternatives Image ComparisonThe Hasselblad XPan is a legendary and very expensive film camera that produces cinematic panoramic images. In this video, we are going to look at digital alternatives to the Hasselblad XPan and you can get some of them for a fraction of the Hasselblad XPan price. Buy a used Sigma DP0 Quatro– mpb.com/product/sigma-dp0-quattroThe Sigma DP0 Quattro is a compact, fixed-lens camera, which allows you to take pictures close to the XPan’s 21:9 aspect ratio. When it comes to resolution and colour reproduction, some claim that nothing beats a Foveon sensor, It can even rival some medium-format cameras. Buy a used Fujifilm GFX 50R– mpb.com/product/fujifilm-gfx-50rThe Fujifilm GFX 50 R has a 50-megapixel medium-format sensor, which—even when using the Xpan 65x24 crop—gives you healthy 25-megapixel resolution files. The Fujifilm GFX 50 R allows you to use a third-party adapter to mount the original Xpan lenses on it. And the original Hasselblad XPan was made in collaboration with Fujifilm, the retro-inspired design of the modern Fujifilm GFX 50R doesn’t look miles away from the original XPan. Buy a used Hasselblad X1D-50c– mpb.com/product/hasselblad-x1d-50cThe Hasselblad X1D-50c has a 50-megapixel medium-format sensor and a unique body that is really small for a camera with such a big sensor. With this camera you can buy a genuine Hasselblad adapter, allowing you to mount the original Xpan lenses on it. And even get a 30mm f/3.5 Hasselblad lens to achieve a similar 24mm-equivalent focal length.About MPB:MPB is the world’s largest platform to buy, sell and trade in used photography and videography kit.

A Land for Everyone | Outdoors, Adventure, Skateboarding For All MPB 2022-10-21 | A land in skateboarding, is to do a trick successfully, and this land, the outdoors, skateboarding and adventure are for everyone. ‘A Land for Everyone’ is a project and short film following skateboard and adventure photographer Hannah Bailey, and skateboarder, Lyndsay McLaren as they explore the highlands of Scotland. As women who grew up in Scotland, Hannah and Lyndsay's teenage selves never imagined a career in skateboarding would be possible, so this adventure is a nod to their childhoods and the journeys they have been on ever since. In the short film, by passionate outdoor videographer Rachel Sarah, we follow them through the wild winding roads of Torridon as they explore the belief that “respect, protect and share” applies in the outdoors, skateboarding, sport, the land, and everyday humanity. As we revisit and reclaim the highlands and lowlands of their youth, their goal is to challenge perspectives - combining their love of adventure and the outdoors, with their passion to protect it and invite more people into these spaces. Proving that you don’t have to fit the stereotypical narrative for what a skateboarder or outdoors person looks or acts like, to embrace everything that the land has to offer.
