    X2D longer telephoto options for landscape

    In my opinion and experience, it depends on what sensor. I found the 50MP sensor on the CFVII 50C a good bit less demanding of how good the glass is compared to the 102MP sensor on my X2D. So for when I need longer than my 180mm CFi with a 1.4XE on it, I use my new to me this year CFe 350mm...

    Medium Format Ultralight Hiking Kit

    Did not consider it, I did carry on and kept everything super light and tight. I took my chances and prevailed. Normally I would have but I also needed to think of my porters and be super athletic my self.

    Medium Format Ultralight Hiking Kit

    Still in Nepal about to head home but I just wrapped up a 15 day, 170 mile trek that saw 10 days above 14,000’ and one 20,000’ peak summit. I managed to catch a cold on the way to Nepal so I had that as my constant companion but all my training made up for it. The big thing is I am really glad...

    Digital Polaroids and HEIC vs JPG on the X2D

    I really want some basic in-camera adjustments to JPEG settings, it’s not too much to ask for and would make the camera a lot more productive across a broader scope of use cases. Color saturation, contrast, sharpness would be fine. A good example would be while traveling. I generally will shoot...

    Differences of XCD 38v?

    Yeah, but we pay a dear price for that, we have to live in America where as you get to live in a ***much*** better place…:-)

    New Limited Edition from Hasselblad for 'Adventurous Photographers'!

    At this point all I want are some jpeg settings on mine, perfectly happy with the black color.

    New Limited Edition from Hasselblad for 'Adventurous Photographers'!

    LOL, my thought too when I first saw it. Looks nice though, whatever keeps the profits rolling in so we can keep Hasselblad alive and well.

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    There is a difference between seeking perfection, seeking tools that do what you need them to do and ones that fall short. Lenses like the XCD 65mm 2.8 and 100mm 3.5 CFi do exactly what I need them to do, every single time.

    Peace-out, enjoy the new lens!

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    Then why did you did you take it off topic saying this and not expect me to educate you? "If you’re printing 36 feet wide, then an off-center lens isn’t going to make much of a difference anyway, is it?"

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    Ummm...as you are enlarging the image, it makes an enormous difference. In this case, the mural is 36' feet wide by 4.5' feet tall and is in a narrow hallway of a ski area, so it has a fairly close viewing distance. It is also stitched so corner performance is pretty important.

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    No, I am not. If he would have just said he was fine with his lenses and left it at that it would have represented his case better. Also consider that if he would have got one or more of the reject lenses I got, his opinion overall might be different? It’s entirely possible he got optimally...

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    I was not talking about the 20-35 that he just got, I was talking about the other lenses he already owns, some of them I spent money on and had to return because they were poor examples of those lenses. For example, I now have a well centered 55mm 2.5V, so at least it shows image quality falloff...

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    That’s pretty dismissive of those who need their equipment to perform at a high level when clients are asking for prints as large 36’ feet wide like mine are. Maybe think outside your own frame of mind and be a bit more empathetic?

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    I could be wrong, but I think it is easier to maintain a higher tolerance on a manual focus lens like an Otus than an autofocus one like a Hasselblad XCD mount one.

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    I guess it just comes down to luck of the draw then. In having used Nikon for the lion's share of my commercial and journalistic work for over 36 years, 30 of that digital, I would say my rejection rate for lenses based on either poor centering or an element being off enough to cause some other...

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    It’s a fair bit lighter than the 35-75, I bet in real world use it will be plenty sharp. Far too wide for me though, so I’ll wait for an updated mid-range zoom.

    New Hasselblad XCD 20-35/3.2-4.5

    I'd like a re-worked 35-75V lens please, I have had pretty poor luck with the three I have tried.

    Differences of XCD 38v?

    I bought and returned both the 38V and 55V last Fall as both had asymmetric aberrations which to be honest, blew my mind for lenses costing over $7K as a pair. I got lucky with my 28P right out of the gate though and the 55V I bought this year is well centered, super sharp with corners that get...
