The result will be exactly the same. If it's feeling in pressing a cable release button you want, perhaps look into an Alpa instead?Thanks, but no thanks.
Anyone can miss a deadline, hell, I've done it myself more than once.
What I find puzzling is that Hasselblad can introduce such an exciting camera and yet miss or overlook the importance of a simple cabled release.
Thanks for reminding me. I have to buy a new ferrari to color coordinate with my X1D.this camera is not made for enthusiastic photographers amateurs or pros it is made for the rich where a h6 is to large for the small trunks of their porsche and ferraris. not having a cable release is a
minor issue but not having a working hc lens adapter ready is telling.

Funny that the X1D is one of the least expensive MFD cameras ... :toocool:this camera is not made for enthusiastic photographers amateurs or pros it is made for the rich where a h6 is to large for the small trunks of their porsche and ferraris. not having a cable release is a

I think you missed my point ... :angel:of course it can not be so expensive the x1d does not have this extravagant design and luxury materials which hasselblad was famous for in the past years.......
Oh I should cancel my order then...this camera is not made for enthusiastic photographers amateurs or pros it is made for the rich where a h6 is to large for the small trunks of their porsche and ferraris. not having a cable release is a

My recent experience from P1 with the 100MP was nothing short of terrific. Ordered and received it in less than 4 weeks along with XF and a bunch of blue lenses. Sure seemed to work right out of the box and have only seen one FW update which made little or no difference to me. Have been on 3 longish trips with it and the images just keep coming. The rendering puts it in a very different category than the Pentax 50MP, which it should. Combined with C1 it is a very complete package.Jeff buying the X1D with two lenses is a small investment and a no brainer, buying a 100 MP system that's not fully functional from P1, H or L is another story. These companies need to listen to their users and give them the features that they need when the features are reasonable on the higher end products they are offering. Firmware updates are a joke, it's marketing BS, firmware updates fixing bugs are important but firmware updates that are promises from past experience rarely are delivered.
I could fit an entire Phase One XF outfit with all lenses, plus the Alpa plus my Sony A7RII mirrorless system into the trunk of my 911, or even the F355 I had before that.The photographer who is doing some work for me making pics of a property I am selling drives a C4S.

They just wouldn't fit in F-Stop backpacks!
unfortunately the trunk is in front not on the back: there is the engine, at least in my 15 year old 911 this is the case...

now i wonder what causes that no one is able to say something about the performance of this adapter or when it will be available ...but let me guess the firmware is not finished right ?Oh I should cancel my order then...
Why do you say there is no HC adaptor? The one I saw was working according to the product manager. I'll email and tell him he's wrong.
I think they are still finalizing the hardware. At the preview I attended a month ago, I asked about stress on the lens mounts that could be caused with the use of heavier H lenses (such as the 35-90mm, 50-110mm, HTS/H combos, etc). The Hasselblad rep said that they are hoping to build in a tripod mount to the XH adapter, which current prototypes do not have, at least judging from the few pictures I have seen. This would help take stress of the lens mounts when using heavier H lenses such as the 35-90mm HCD or other lens combos with the HTS 1.5 adapter.now i wonder what causes that no one is able to say something about the performance of this adapter or when it will be available ...but let me guess the firmware is not finished right ?
If your scenario is correct, it will be next year before we see one camera shipped to customers. Hope you're wrong, because they should have hundreds of cameras built and only waiting on firmware to be completed.I think they are still finalizing the hardware.

Sorry I wasn't more clear, but I was talking about the XH Adapter only for adapting H system lenses to the X1D, not the X1D camera hardware itself. As a 35-90mm owner, a tripod mount on the adapter would help me feel better about using heavier lens combos with the X1D without addition lens support.If your scenario is correct, it will be next year before we see one camera shipped to customers.

thank´s i have already given up ordering this camera because i intend it to use it with HC lenses i need for my work and before placing an order i need to know how it performs. i´m really clueless what drives this companies to acts like clowns who launch their first product.I think they are still finalizing the hardware.

Okay, you've convinced me. I need one of these now to go with my yellow Mercedes SLK:...
