Street, Documentary & Travel Photography — X-Pro2 (2016): The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
Fine Art, Portrait & Entry-Level Medium Format — Hasselblad X1D II 50C (2019): The most accessible Hasselblad XCD body — 50MP medium-format quality for those who cannot stretch to the X2D 100C.
