Retirement in Asia is dream come true. Experience beautiful Hanoi and the lovely people of Vietnam as I share my adventure through the lens of the medium format Hasselblad X2D 100C fitted with the XCD45P lens. This combo truly is a "one camera - one lens" system that is small enough for all day carry and with a 100mp sensor, the versatility is amazing.
