It would be really helpful to the overall "atmosphere" of this forum if you refrained from importing to this forum the axe you and others grind obsessively about Hasselblad over at DP Review where you are a "Moderator," at least in name. I can and do ignore the endless and typically venomous/petty criticism of everything having to do with Hasslelblad over there, but I do not want to be subjected to it here. Techtalk has an exceptional level of experience and deep knowledge in many areas of digital imaging, presents his viewpoint in a calm, rational way, and offers up a measured viewpoint about the issues at hand. It's often an alternative viewpoint to the breathless and obsessive commentary about anything having to do with Hasselblad.
You comment as follows in response to Techtalk:
"Your reframing of your writing, with two quoted segments, the new underlining to emphasize the first point, your use of the word “added”, and the new explanation of the sequential logic structure is a rather transparent attempt to pretend you included the X2D only parenthetically."
I have no idea what you are trying to say. It is incomprehensible to me and adds nothing...zero... to the discourse about the basic issue at hand here.
I think the thread should be closed (or edited as suggested below to focus on tech aspects).
I disagree with the sugar coating of TechTalk's contributions. He is a heavily pro Hasselblad biased troll - who you like to side with often in pro Hasselblad posts - that has too much time at hand to regularly look up Hasselblad spec sheets and historic facts - one can Google that oneself - with no practical ad-subject contributions (e.g. image samples relating to the subject matter at hand for example). He has never even posted an image sample and hides behind some "reasons" to not do so.
If you look at how this thread derailed you well see that once he started posting that basically no one needs to buy this, its everyone's choice, every product has its limitations, etc.(
e.g. post 145) he effectively trolled and diffused the discussion because it was obviously a discourse between frustrated buyers exchanging about the problems they had found with a product that's not working as advertised and then someone comes in and downplays it. With such monologous, triggering posts the discussion immediately moves onto a different subject plane and the original thread's direction is lost. That's textbook trolling. It was a simple factual discussion of people having spent 8k on a product which was heavily marketed and for now doesn't work as advertised. There's no need then to come in and diffuse to topic away and downplaying the problem.
That's not helpful and effectively a capsizing of the discussion. Instead of discussing facts (problem, evidence, solutions) it became a vain monologue as seen by the avalanche of his posts thereafter.
The same happend with the thread around MF news. It was closed after it degenerated into non subject matter related empty posts.
Its sad as we still could have discussed the post processing to remedy the issue at hand or how the back fares with say the 40 HR and 60 XL or other Rodie glass to get a more complete picture of the magnitude of the problem in practice.
At this stage the thread has been capsized again by TechTalk and should be closed. Unfortunately
