    Problem reading an SD card with Images form an X1D MkII

    Has anyone had a problem with a Windows 10 PC reading an SD card with images from an X1D MkII? After insertion, Windows can’t open the card but says that the card must formatted. I tried opening it with two different laptops using both built-in and external card readers. Card is a SanDisk...

    Filter holder / system

    I like the Wine Country system for holding Breakthrough filters. It’s a bit heavy though, so when I travel I use the Breakthrough filter holder.

    Leica M10-R

    My initial reaction to the M10R was very different to my reaction to the M10M. I owned an M10. But since my early love for my M3 and B&W, I had been waiting for a Monochrom. I was disappointed with it’s predecessors for one reason or another. I loved everything about the M10 and would have...

    To those with new Mono, any lens failing to pass muster?

    I’ve been enjoying my M10 M for months. I will close with a list of lenses I’ve used with this camera, but would like to say that I’m very pleased with the resulting images from all. I do read lens reviews and rely on Edwin Putts excellent reference information. However, I choose a particular...

    My Take on the new Leica SL2

    Jono, I think your review was perfect. As a photographer who loves the current SL after switching to it from an M10. I currently only use M lenses and am happy the SL2 plays well with them. The addition of in camera IBIS certainly makes it attractive. I also love the ergonomics of the SL and...

    Hasselblad X1D MkII Firmware update

    Hasselblad has just released the first firmware update for the X1D MkII and because of an upcoming workshop I am trying to decide if I should perform it now or wait till I return. I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has performed the update. Any problems or surprises? Any features not...

    Preferred Filter Choice

    I’ve been using the Breakthrough filters. I use the X4 circular ND and Polarizing filters as well as the square ND and rectangular GND filters with great success. I chose to use the Wine Country holder system with the square and rectangular filters. It is a robust system, but heavy to travel...

    Medium Format and Coffee

    Freshly roasted beans, a course grind with a burr grinder, water at the right temperature and a French Press. I usually only drink one cup a day, but a proper cup starts my day off properly.

    Hasselblad X1D MkII Initial thoughts

    First to answer the upgrade question. After having the camera in use for five days, I have to say as a whole the upgrade works for me. Some of the improvements are pretty obvious, some are subtle. I can’t say the MKII camera alone will make better images than the MkI. Same sensor, and basic...
