    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    Let’s not play here - 100% is not actually a magnified image, it is the native resolution. It‘s magnified only in relation to a display medium who cannot display, without magnification, the native resolution of an image. For web display all these differences we are talking about are effectively...

    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    It might be a good idea to redo the exact same test with your friend’s x2d - then you could judge for yourself. If pixel pitch influence on lens performance is surprising for you …oh well, you’ve missed a lot of the “fun” of the past 2 decades of megapixel wars, in all formats :)

    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    The 50MP sensor puts a lot less performance pressure on any lens due to the much higher pixel pitch - those pixels are twice the size of those found in the x2d, so much easier to fill with detail. On the 100 MP x2d all lenses are pushed much harder - so performance issues will become aparent...

    Hasselblad XCD 28P Focus Shift

    The problem is clearly there!

    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    I went against the trend, here: sold my 38v for a 30 and 45 - both original 3.5 xcd lenses. While I was happy with the 38v, I found the FL limiting, at times - I find the 30 & 45 much more useful. While the 38 was very good stopped down, the 30 is much better in the corners, wide open, and...

    The great tripod & head thread!

    I have no intention of messing around with my gear. Thatˋs why I donˋt intend to carry it over my shoulder, fully mounted. I donˋt find that comfortable, at all. But there is nothing in my current tripod + head setup that suggests anything but 100% confidence. Happy shooting! :)

    The great tripod & head thread!

    I understand I just tried to see if my Arca-Swiss Leveler 75 would exhibit any sag when carried over the shoulder, like you mentioned. I did a quick and dirty test with my GFX 100 (original + 2 batteries) and my GF 30 TS (with all accessories mounted - tripod collar, hood, hood attachment...

    The great tripod & head thread!

    I wanted to thank the community for this thread - it helped my travel & studio tripod upgrades quite a bit. I went for a 5 section Gitzo 4 series as a travel tripod (to be used with my GF 30 TS and M2 + Rodenstock setup) and for a 3 sections Gitzo series 5 as my studio workhorse. They are...

    Your favourite “bang for the buck” lenses

    Best bang for the buck, for me, is currently the used Hassy xcd 45, original. With the advent of the 45p and 38v, they are widely available, for under 1k, excellent / low shutter count copies - delivering spectacular IQ on 100MP. I will never hesitate to use the original 45 xcd along my 30 and...

    Fuji GF 30mm Tilt Shift and Rodenstock 32mm HR Digaron-W Lens Comparison

    This is not a lens problem, that is related to your senzor pixel pitch and the inherent diffraction effects. Every good lens. in every system with the pixel size of yout 100 MP senzor will do the same. In the 33x44 100 MP world, f8 is your practical limit, stopping beyond that will result in...

    Hasselblad XCD 90mm V lens is shipping

    So , any comparisons of the new 90 with the “old” 90 or the 80 1.9 ?

    Hasselblad XCD 90mm V lens is shipping

    Yes, and mushy corners, until f5.6. F8 corner performance was exemplary.

    Rodenstock 180 vs 138 in the wind

    Wow, incredibly useful points, gentlemen, thank you :) Location shooting is extremely important to me!

    Rodenstock 180 vs 138 in the wind

    With my Hasselblad x2d I’ve successfully used the 135 + 1.7 TC (230mm) with a light tripod in the wind, column center fully extended and IBIS on, with none of the usual weird artefacts that I would get on GFX or other 35mm systems when doing that. In that particular situation, a shifted 180mm...
