Excellent pictures. how did you manage to get to 45 secs exposure time?
With a 10-stop ND-filter. I love the surreal effect in the sky :D. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know...
 
Very little, easy removable in post
 
I've been considering buying this lens for a while now, but I'm unsure about the resolution quality. I couldn't find any meaningful tests specifically for the Hasselblad X2DII 100C. So I'm glad I came across your photos. Well, I think it's worth the risk.:)

it's worth indeed ;) . Don't get me wrong; this lens has neither the sharpness or the resolution of a native Hasselblad lens - no surprise if you look at the different pricepoints. But this lens isn't about technical perfection, it's all about drama...:D.

When I do have a little bit more experience and also some testing done, I will publish a review on my blog www.fotoristretto.ch in the near future. But for the moment I have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of fun with this lens!
 
Some more... :D
