Just updated. Works like a charm...The X1D system is progressing as expected.
Not that quiet...May I ask how silent is the electronic shutter. Any comparisons would be very helpful. Thank you.
It makes it at least theoretically possible to adapt a bellows, some tubes, and my Luminars and Photars. I trust it will permit fitting the x1d to a technical camera. It might allow me to adapt my rather large V-series lens collection (albeit with some pretty severe limitations) - I don't see an XCD equivalent for the ApoTessar anytime soon. I expect this will lead to at least a "dumb tube" V adapter, which would be sufficient for a lot of my purposes.Honestly ... the sensor and the native XCD lenses are so good ... only an Alpa mount to a TC would tempt me.

Yes but no live view is available in Mq mode, so you are totally blind.It is not totally silent, because still the aperture blades have to be closed and opened by a motor.
Nevertheless, if you put it on Mq-Mode (aperture already closed) with e-shutter it is totally silent now.
Indeed, no lifeview When choosing Mq.Yes but no live view is available in Mq mode, so you are totally blind.
Also no automatic focusing with Mq, need to focus before shifting to Mq and then shoot. Obviously using a tripod. Totally silent.Indeed, no lifeview When choosing Mq.
Was this also the case with the previous Firmware or has this unpleasant feature been introduced with 1.17.2?
