    XCD 35-100E vs 35-75?

    I'm still on the fence re: 35-100 or 35-75. I used the 35-75mm before and it was great, I've seen some used ones close to $2400 USD. HB North America has the 35-100 in stock today.

    Fun with MF images 2026

    Haven't shot anything in awhile, happy to share this from Seattle earlier this week. X2D and 80mm XCD with CPL. Quick and dirty edit using just the iPhone and Phocus 2/Photoshop Mobile. Will have to revisit with the laptop.

    Hasselblad X2D100C B+W conversion

    I really really miss the M10M, it’s long gone but I’m tempted to grab another

    Hasselblad X2D100C B+W conversion

    It’s an unpopular opinion but lack of black and white display doesn’t affect me shooting color and intending to convert to black and white, I don’t think it’s very critical. Visualizing the scene in black and white in my head is part of my process….anyone shooting black and white film has to do...

    180 MPX Sony sensor 44x33 - massive shift in MFD

    Honestly the IQ4 Achro didn’t leave me wanting a whole lot. Yeah sure there’s a ton of marketing fluff and I feel like they fell flat with the potential of what that back could do. I’d definitely like to see some of what you mentioned as well in an IQ4II or IQ5 but honestly I just want used IQ4...

    180 MPX Sony sensor 44x33 - massive shift in MFD

    We all know the answer to this…and this kind of question has been around ever since I got into medium format when the then-revolutionary D800 came out. I loved the X1D but even the X2D I have now is miles ahead in usability. I imagine an X3D will Improve on the X2D, and for those that don’t need...

    IQ3 Achromatic vs IQ4 images

    id just do some test shots in scenes prone to UV or IR radiation and see for yourself what difference it makes. On the IQ4 Achro I honestly don’t remember what I did. I think I stacked filters sometimes if I was doing visible light (UV/IR cut first, yellow or red second) but I could be making it up.

    IQ3 Achromatic vs IQ4 images

    I got bit by the monochrome bug. I used an M10M for awhile as well as the IQ4 150 Achro. Ppl have already touched on the pros/cons of monochrom sensors as well as B&W conversion. I found a sense of magic in the monochrom cameras I used. Was it real and tangible or one of those intangible...

    Hasselblad X2D100C B+W conversion

    Boy I wish they’d come out with a monochrome camera….

    X2DII 100C Availability

    HB store North America has X2DII lens bundles (camera plus lens) in stock right now if anyone needs one.

    X2DII 100C Availability

    Yeah if you see in stock you better pounce or it will be gone.

    X2DII 100C Availability

    They could have taken it away. The only time I got the in stock update email before they pulled the option was at like 2-3am EST and they were sold out by the time the east coast woke up so I’m sure ppl complained. No idea what IP address I used, my own attitude is I’ll get the 35-100 when it...

    X2DII 100C Availability

    Just googled and the used gear superstore in my neighborhood has a used one in LN- condition even.

    Would a women ever say "i have enough shoes!"?

    Just like guitars, the equation is always “n+1>n” :)

    X2DII 100C Availability

    I’ve seen them periodically in stock at various stores here in the US, same with the 35-100. I even caught the 35-100 in stock in the HB North America store about a week ago when randomly googling but am trying to stick with supporting my local dealer. Seems they are going out slow but they’re...

    Adapt GFX Lenses to CFV 100C

    Dang that’s pretty cool. The GFX system definitely has some lenses I wish the X series had (100-200, longer than 200mm, T/S, etc). This would be electronic shutter only right?

    IQ5 rumors

    In my experience the only ppl that care what gear photographers use are other photographers. Same with guitars or any number of other creative endeavors. Obviously get the tools that make sense for one’s work or whatever inspires you, etc, but I know my audience doesn’t care what camera I...

    IQ5 rumors

    Cool yeah I wasn’t aware….definitely supports my point and findings - it’s definitely not phase one holding the keys to frame averaging tech. No clue what’s stopping HB and Fuji but hopefully they can bring it to their platforms.

    IQ5 rumors

    There’s no reason to license, at least not from P1. Sony had the smooth reflections app for the A7R years before P1 did anything similar. Being a patent attorney I also did a patent search a couple years ago after the IQ4 came out and didn’t see a patent in any jurisdiction from P1 related to...
