Videos from my photography and adventure activities.
I have climbed for more than 45 years. During these years I have documented a lot of my activities in the mountains. Videos from the Alps, the Himalayas, the roof of Africa, the Andes and other places will appear here on my youtube channel.
Most of my recent work is directed towards photography and videography, also during my mountaineering activities, and I test a lot of different equipment on my diverse set of cameras that counts both modern digital cameras as well as old and some very old analog film cameras. Furthermore, I create my own cameras once in a while.

Fujifilm S2500HD superzoom / bridge camera - is it good for documenting a trip to Ararat?
I have used a lot of different superzoom cameras, also named bridge cameras, during the past years. One of the smallest of these is the Fujifilm S2500HD, that I took on a spin during a trip to Mount Ararat as leader of a group climbing the mountain.
Could this camera from 2010 with its small 1/2.3” sensor and 12 megapixel resolution make decent images, now that we are used to cameras with full frame sensor and resolution of 30, 40, or even more? I explore this in this video.

Untrodden peaks. Part II - The first ascent of Pandra 6850 meter in Nepal Himalaya
Great camera, regret, selling mine when i switched to Nikon. Tempted to buy another one seen as they are now available quite cheaply used.
Yes they have become very cheap, you get a lot of camera for your money, though it requires you kept some lenses. They are still rather expensive, as they can be easily used on the newer cameras with an inexpensive adapter, and they still perform very well.
The camera was originally sold with a not very good kit lens. I put a Tamron wide angle on mine. Super nice camera, extensive controls. Always carry a spare battery, it likes them. Very quiet.
Agree that the original kit lens wasn't very good. I bought a different zoom lens from Sony, don't remember the exact one, but it was much better. Now I have 6 different lenses, that are all very good - both Sony and Sigma lenses. I even use them with an adapter on my A7R, as most of them covers full frame 🙂
Thank you for your concise and thorough review. I'm trying to decide whether to buy the X1D mark II or X2D and sell my Leica SL2. Any thoughts you could provide would be appreciated. I have enjoyed my Leica and other Leicas for years and photograph mainly people, landscapes and travel. I have always liked the aesthetics of both systems.
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I have never shot Leica, so I can't provide any useful information regarding the differences in these systems. But I would say, that for people and travel the considerably faster X2D and the build-in IBIS makes quite a difference. Depending on your need for resolution, the extra 50 mpix on the X2D could also make a difference for landscapes, although it would only be visible on really large prints. I do 50x70 from the X1D II and they are very, very detailed and sharp.
I have 2 D100s, love the images out of them. I usually shoot at ISO 400, but ISO 800 looks okay too!
Thanks for your comment. I usually shot low ISO, but when the subject or light requires it, I'm like you not afraid to use 400 or 800.
nice video!
May I ask sir. About M43 lens 50mm on medium format equivalent ??
Depends on the size of medium format, which is not a fixed standard. Converting to Hasselblad X1D/X2D it would correspond to a 125mm on the Hasselblad.
@@key2adventure Thank you for taking the time to reply. the same lens is used on so so different size Image sensors.curious. M43 lens on a medium format sensor, will the image circle cover the entire sensor? the same lens is used on different Image sensors. Here is no adapter ring yet for OLYMPUS 75mm/1.8 lens on medium format.
7D is a good camear
Yep, agree on that.
Great review, nice selection of pics to give a good idea of what the lens can do. I've ordered one for my Panny G3 and G5s.
Thanks for your comment, glad you liked it 🙂
This was the camera no oen could afford. It was the dream of many. Love how Nikon's just work when you need them to.
Yes that's so true. And it still gets my affection even today, so many years after 🙂
Such a shame it hasn't been fitted with a bracket (cold shoe?) to attach an optional optical viewfinder. Not bad for (approx.) £70 UK on ebay for the one I found.
Yes an optical viewfinder is a nice add-on, but I find the LCD quite good and useable even in bright light.
Really quite impressed with the photos that came out of this. I wonder what it is about CCD sensors? It really has some vibrance and energy. Great shots. Thank you for making this series. I've really enjoyed it and I look forward to it.
Thanks for your comment, happy you liked the series 🙂
Hello, I follow you and appreciate your analyses. My question, is the 28 mm at the qualitative level of the 55 and 90 mm. I hesitate and it is not cheap. Regards.
Thanks for following me. The 28p isn't at quite the level of the 55 and 90mm, but it also costs considerably less, about half the price of the two other. I still think it's good value for money, and I definitely like the images coming from this lens.
@@key2adventure Thank you !

Maybe it is but it's kinda f*cked by the price you can get apsc body and lens or maybe even full frame body and one lens in that price and will be much happier Please guys don't buy this overpriced shit it only works as a toy for a child from rich family, but has no use anywhere else
Great and informative review!
Thanks for your comment, I'm happy to know you liked it 🙂
At an average price of £1350 (UK) it's a bit out of my price range. Excellent review though and thanks for sharing your lovely images.
I got mine used but in good condition for only 600 euro, and I think you can get it much cheaper that 1350 pounds. I have seen one recently on eBay from UK to only 450 pounds.
I have the 5Ds,, that's what I use when I want the best photographs.. When its time to get serious,,
Very nice review! Er du Dansk?
Thanks, og ja til dansk.
Hello @key2adventure I was trying to find which firmware for the Techart mount works best right now. It worked out of the box in manual but once I updated to get some autofocus functions, it stopped and I was never able to get it back to “sort of working” with a 24-135 or a 100-400 Canon lens. I looked through your videos but I am a little lost now!
I tried this camera at the store, and it does seem like a killer camera. I'm just scared of the weight and 100mp files. I had a 61mp camera before, and those files are taxing on the computer and storage.
Yes it is a bit heavy, and the files are large, but with my Mac Mini M1 with SD drives, I don't have problems.
I love videos like these. I really appreciate you taking the time to share. New subscribe as of this video. :)
Thank you for sharing! After watching your video, I decided to buy this lens, and it has exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly useful, especially on my Hasselblad X2D! Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for the feedback :-) Happy you also find this lens usefull.
It's interesting to think that when digital photography first became commercially available, press photographers were using equipment with just 2mp. Even magazine quality images were captured with similar gear.
That's true, but when you look at double spread images in older magazines, it definitely is visible, that the resolution is low.
Thank you for such a nice video. I can’t decide between Hasselblad (x1d 50 ii is more suitable for me) Fuji GFX or leica SL3 🤦♀️
Thanks. I can understand that your decision is difficult. I also like the Fuji GFX, but the design and style of Hasselblad inspires me much more, so I chose to go that way. I think in the end you'll be happy with any of those. I don't know anything about the Leica.
Thank you for the interesting video. I'm just thinking about buying a camera with this lens. I decided to replace my Zenith with a Canon AV-1. Have you ever used it?
Unfortunately not, I have tried AE-1, A-1 and F-1 but not AV-1
Thanks for this little review. And for showing your excellent photography, I really enjoy shooting my Nikon D70 which has a similar 6MP ccd sensor.
Thanks for your comment 🙂
Great video. I have some questions 😊. 1. Could you adjust video settings manualy? 2. Can it do clean HDMI? 3. For how long you can shoot in 10 fps?
It has 24mp sharp evf ibis, good af 10fps and 1080p60 in 2011? How was that even possible? If you told me that this was brand new model i would belive you. Those are modern specs. And it was not even high end Sony camera at the time 😂. What the hell happened to the camera industry in last 12 years?😅 This is not much less then zve10 or a6x00. You dont even get ibis in most apsc cameras now days.
Agree, it is a remarkable camera, and at the time of launch it was outstanding. But not many noticed it, I still love it 🙂
@@key2adventure indeed and petty that was unnoticed. I wonder why that was? I my self own A35 that is a banger. I remember when i was new in this camera business some years ago and had to buy my first camera. friend of mine had on him one of those Alpha slrs and i just borrowed it for couple of minutes to test and gave him back not liking it. I remember that screen quality and image output was kind of poor compared to Canon and Nikon that i used at that point (beginner modells). So since then and few more years i was kind of put of by Sony. Then i bought a6300. And since then i really love anything Sony has ever done. What i think that put me of at that time on that Alpha was really unsharp screen and i my self pretty much didnt know what i was doing. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this valuable information. Maybe you can answer the following: Is it posible to upgrade Hasselblad HC to a higher firmware version? Is Phocus reading the metadata of the lens and correct the aberrations and light fall of? I will appreciate if you can throw some light on it. Kind regards
It is possible to upgrade firmware but only to some extent. Older HC glass cannot be updated to provide autofocus, HCD lenses can always be updated to AF. I don't know about correcting aberrations and light fall of, as I don't much in post, but the metadata are read correctly.
Hello Dear, I have heard of an issue the combo X1D2 + 28P. Have you notice a magenta color aberration on any of your photos ? Thank you for your response. I would like to invest in 28P, but that issu makes me hesitate.
I haven't noticed anything like magenta color aberration on my copy of the 28P. It performs very well in all aspects.
@@key2adventure thank you ! Even with X1D2 right ?

Hola. He probado dos objetivos 28P y ambos me han dado un problema de viñeteo importante y lo peor es una fuerte coloración magenta más patente en la parte derecha de la imagen, puedo aportar fotos. El resultado no es admisible
I love the picture of your grandchild with his little camera! Starting them young, I see.
Exactly, I got my own first camera when I was 7, but its much easier these days with digital cameras.
I once had a Canon A630. 8mp, and great optical zoom. The images were impressive.
Hi - thanks, the videos are great. I got the TCX-01 yesterday and was able to take photos on my X2D through a 24-105 Canon lens (with massive vignetting!) but no autofocus or anything beyond simple manual focus. I also tried a Sigma 150-600 lens which was like carrying a rocket launcher it was so heavy. I don't know how much a rocket launcher weighs. Same result. It worked but no autofocus. So I upgraded the firmware using your video - it worked fine, a new MacBook Pro and a little USB-C to mini USB cable from Faster (on Amazon). I updated to version 8 and it's bricked my lenses for the X2D with a "lens initializing" message that won't clear up. I downgraded to version 7 but same result. Reading through comments - I'm okay with going back to whatever original settings with only manual focus - but what version did the mount ship with? I've also tried a Sigma 100-400 lens and same thing.
Sounds very strange. I haven't experienced this behaviour from my lenses. Are you sure you let the upgrade finish. It is a bit difficult to see, what it is actually doing? Maybe try downgrading one version at the time, version 6, 5, 4 ... until it might work again.
Great Video! Thank you. Have an F100 too with several Ais and G lenses. I also use it with the grip, loaded with Lithium batteries: Soooo light weight! Such a fine piece of film equipment!
Glad you liked my video. I still think it's one of the best SLRs ever made.
Thanks for your work! I‘m considering to purchase this objective on a Panasonic Lumix G81. I‘m a beginner and that would be a relatively cheap start. The pics you took look amazing to me.
Remember, you need the adapter as well as it is a 4/3 lens not a Micro 4/3
Very nice review, thank you!
