    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    And now 100% tariffs on 'foreign made' films, because the US film industry is (apparently) dying 'a very fast death' according to the Mango Mussolini. Probably just another headline grab to distract from the utter chaos of the first 100 days, but the reason the movie industry worldwide is...

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Buy $10m worth of TrumpCoin and I'm sure Donald will sign an executive order commanding P1 to do just that (in the 'national interest' of course). He said, jokingly. Or not.

    Hasselblad 100C and 35XL

    Indeed - I posted that solution on Page 4 of this thread. ;) Can't believe that over a year later and H/B haven't baked in a similar solution to Phocus. Pretty poor. I don't know if the developers of RT have added the H/B 100MP chip to their PDAF filter - since their last update was August...

    P1 IQ240 imminent - everyone ready?

    I guess it's interesting from a technical point of view (for the couple of minutes it takes me to read the specs), but that's about it for me.

    From February 2024 „Sale of P1 this year". New Speculation?

    In terms of eye-bleeding price + the 3:2 ratio, I suspect the IQ5 is gonna be a hard sell to P1's traditional 'upgraders'. Given that it's over 6 years since P1 released their 150MP back, I'm going on record right now to say that the IQ5 will be P1s final DB made available for sale to the likes...

    Epson end their last high-end flatbed scanners

    That's a real shame - with the rapid advances in AI (wrt imaging), I suspect there is going to be a resurgence in traditional, film-based & darkroom printed photography.

    IQ4 fogging LCD

    I never remember fogging on any early smartphones, so if the touchscreens weren't all bonded/laminated, I guess they had some in-built mitigation against it. Again, just a bad choice of component from P1 it seems.

    Oh dear. Peculiar fabric-like strands on the inside of front and real elements of an SK 120N. Any ideas?

    Unless your lens is made of fused quartz/silica (unlikely) I wouldn't worry too much, as the UV-C isn't able to penetrate other types of glass, so it will never reach the inner workings of a lens. It's commonly used in laser optics because of its positive UV and IR transmission characteristics...

    Sinaron HR Digaron-W 32mm f/4 Lens

    Sorry, I hate to butt in on someone's FS thread, but there's a couple of general point that need to be made here so that GetDPI isn't going to find itself batting on a sticky wicket. First off, you can only insure goods for - at most - their declared value. So should the lens go astray or get...

    IQ4 fogging LCD

    The thing is, there shouldn't be air between the layers, since ideally they're all laminated/bonded together. That's why you never see fogging in even the cheapest smart phones no matter what extremes of temperature / humidity they're used in and/or move between. I doubt it's a problem in...

    Oh dear. Peculiar fabric-like strands on the inside of front and real elements of an SK 120N. Any ideas?

    A B&W air tight case with loads of rechargeable silicon packs plus an occasional few seconds in one of these every couple of months keeps my mind at ease. Maybe it's overkill, but then again, I do live in the UK.

    IQ4 fogging LCD

    It's odd how air/moisture can get in and cause condensation since all the layers of a capacitive touch screen are (or should be) bonded together.

    IQ4 fogging LCD

    So the touchscreen on a $100 smart phone outperforms the one on a $50k digital back ? Ouch. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for P1 to come up with a 'definitive fix' - more likely they'll just upgrade the screen on the IQ5 and hope everyone forgets about it.

    IQ4 fogging LCD

    You guys should compare serial numbers … :unsure:

    IQ4 fogging LCD

    I'd guess there's been some separation between the cover glass and the touch screen and an air gap has developed. Never seen it before, but should 100% be fixed for free - I'm sure P1 will be interested to see what exactly has caused this in case it's not a 'one off'.

    Linhof Technorama 612 PCII

    It's a shame this couldn't be resolved. If the goods weren't as described I'd still pursue the matter with my CC issuer since this is clearly a breach of even the most basic aspects of consumer law and distance selling regulations. That said, I realise that sometimes the juice just isn't worth...

    Linhof Technorama 612 PCII

    In situations like this, it's a good idea to get an independent report - e.g. from a local reputable camera repair shop (one that handles insurance claims would be good) - and then present that as evidence to your CC issuer. Otherwise it comes down to he says / she says. And since there is a...

    So, who is buying a Alpa these days?

    I've used Cambo, A/S, Linhof and Alpa at various times over the years, and - as others have said before me - there's just something about an Alpa camera that sets it apart. Sort of reminds me of using an Ebony camera back in the LF days. If you have the money and are looking to move to a...

    How successful have recent Hasselblad product introductions been?

    I know it's probably not got the most appealing front end - so many settings (which is both a good and a bad thing) - but if I owned a HB DB then RawTherapee would be my go to (especially if banding is an issue) until HB updates Phocus. Even then I might stick with RT, the latest version really...

    How successful have recent Hasselblad product introductions been?

    You'd have thought HB could have found a few bucks by now out of that $24m R&D budget to fix the banding issue with the CFV-100C.
