    Any update on when the X2D will be Phocus Mobile compatible?

    As I previously posted, I’m a fan of the X2D but would really like some features fixed/added such as missing Phocus2 mobile compatibility and the ability to select auto ISO in M mode. Has anyone heard from Hassy when the next X2D firmware update will be released? Thanks!

    Hasselblad X2D coming soon to a divorce near you

    Firmware wishlist after shooting the X2D for a couple weeks: - Implement compatibility with Focus 2 mobile - Allow auto ISO in M mode. Seriously, it's silly that we don't have the OPTION of turning auto ISO on. - Improve AF accuracy (as noted in the video review on page 24) - Often the...

    X2D + new lenses: first impressions

    I received my X2D and 55/2.5 and 38/2.5 lenses (release versions, not early evaluation copies). Here are some quick takes: - The X2D is a beautiful and very ergonomic design. Highly functional minimalism. No wasted buttons or dials, though I wish the strap lugs were less protruding since I...

    X2D: no auto ISO in M mode?

    My dealer sent the request to Hasselblad. Seems odd that they wouldn’t at least offer the option in M mode, given that it’s present as an option in other modes.

    At a crossroads - IQ3100, X2D, M11

    Yes, BSI and dual-gain conversion to me at least were meaningful improvements, plus the speed of sensor readouts jumping especially with the a1 and Canon equivalent.

    X2D: no auto ISO in M mode?

    Is there any way to turn on auto ISO in M mode? That's the way many photographers (including me) prefer to shoot. Hopefully they can add this option in a firmware update.

    At a crossroads - IQ3100, X2D, M11

    The reality is that as sensors continue to improve in their signal:noise ratio—especially at high ISOs—and in their resolution, the image quality advantage of medium format over 35 mm format continues to narrow. I enjoy shooting the IQ4, M11/M10M, CFV-II-50c, and Sony a1/a7r4 systems, and it's...

    X2D arrived but weighing M11 instead. Appreciate any insight/advice.

    The biggest practical difference between the Hassy X system, and the M11 (both of which I own and use) is their size, auto/manual focus, lens availability, and price (Hasselblad being less expensive for a change!). Both can excel in both landscape and portrait photography. Of course if you...

    Same sensor, and both companies know what they they are doing, so probably very similar: https://photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm#FujiFilm%20GFX%20100,FujiFilm%20GFX%2050R,Hasselblad%20X1D-50c

    Hasselblad X2D coming soon to a divorce near you

    There are a lot of handmade things that aren’t well-made. There are a lot of mass-produced items that are very well-made. And vice-versa. In the end I care about how well the camera performs, not how many fingers touched it during assembly.

    Hasselblad X2D coming soon to a divorce near you

    In an effort to un-hijack my thread back to the original purpose... The new leak confirms that the second lens is a 55/2.5, and the first is a 38/2.5, so it makes sense if the third is a telephoto/2.5. And the brochure also confirms 16-bit RAW files (the X1D did as well but I think the 101 MP...

    A 55/1.9 would make sense and be a nice choice for an all-purpose walkabout lens, assuming not too large. Now we just need the CFV-III-100c with the same improvements as the X2D!

    Hasselblad X2D coming soon to a divorce near you

    Scratch that... given the additional thickness of the X2D over the X1Dii is only 3.4 mm thicker, I'll revise my (highly speculative) prediction to the three new LENSES having a novel type of shutter (perhaps allowing 1/4000s with flash sync), rather than the body :) I just feel there has to be...

    Hasselblad X2D coming soon to a divorce near you

    I think the new lenses, and even their distinct styling, make the most sense if they do NOT have a leaf shutter and the new X2D has a focal plane shutter. The main argument against this possibility is that the new lenses would only be usable in certain situations with the X1D or CFV, but perhaps...
