    Favorite Book About Photography

    I enjoyed Art Work as well. Yesterday I finished reading the new book Everything is Photograph - A Life of Andre Kertesz, by Patricia Albers, which I highly recommend. It's a well-written survey of a fascinating life and character, and helps give one perspective on one's own creative path as...

    Would you trade a HB Xcd21 for a Xcd28p?

    Love the 28P but also have the 25v and 20-35mm because I love wides - for some irrational reason I still sometimes miss my 21mm! Maybe because I like using primes and it's a great one. But if you say you leave it at home due to the weight, that's probably your answer - the 28P is amazingly...

    Adapt GFX Lenses to CFV 100C

    Anyone placing a pre-order for one of these? Wasn't planning on any purchases in early 2026 but if this works well with the Fuji 30mm TS I am going to be sorely tempted....

    Adapt GFX Lenses to CFV 100C

    I wish I could see how the GF 30mm TS lens performs on the CFV 100c with this adapter!

    Cambo WRS 1600 vs X2D II for Landscapes

    I bought a used Schneider Kreuznach 90mm APO Digitar lens as my second lens along with my Rodie 40mm HR. It’s way less expensive than the Rodie 90mm and is very small. There’s a thread here on the forum discussing its performance, which is quite impressive...

    Cambo WRS 1600 vs X2D II for Landscapes

    I have the X2DII with the 35-100mm and several other lenses, as well as the CFV-100c, the Rodenstock 40mm HR and an Arca-Swiss Factum tech camera. The 40mm HR is pretty amazing, and I enjoy using a tech camera for certain things like architecture and some landscapes. The lens seems slightly but...

    Hasselblad XCD 28P

    Love my 28p. Sometimes I don’t feel like carrying around the 20-35mm or 25v and the 28P feels liberating. On the 907x it’s even more fun.

    Focusing tips for Arca Swiss tech cam with Hasselblad CFV-100c digital back?

    Good to hear! Maybe it just wasn’t showing up enough to really see it with the color peaking I was using - sometimes it’s barely noticeable. Interestingly I noticed that the camera has an “inverse” color peaking setting which may help. Btw do you happen to have the brand/model of the loupe you...

    Hasselblad XCD 20-35mm lens

    I'll defer to Steve's testing, but I will echo how good it is. I had the 21mm and 38mm and don't miss them. The 20-35mm is my go to lens and if I had only one lens for the system it would be this one. The hood is pretty terrible though - don't know what they were thinking with some of their...

    Focusing tips for Arca Swiss tech cam with Hasselblad CFV-100c digital back?

    Thanks! I’ll give a loupe a try.

    Focusing tips for Arca Swiss tech cam with Hasselblad CFV-100c digital back?

    Focus peaking won’t work/show using this combo. I shoot at f4 and then stop down. I’ll try a loupe per Warren’s comment. Thanks!

    Focusing tips for Arca Swiss tech cam with Hasselblad CFV-100c digital back?

    Wish I could zoom higher than 100% - but I can’t. Might try a loupe though to help.

    Focusing tips for Arca Swiss tech cam with Hasselblad CFV-100c digital back?

    Anyone have any tips for focusing with the Arca Swiss focusing helical? I am using the Factum tech cam, the Rodenstock 40mm HR and the Hasselblad CFV-100c. Even at 100% magnification, it is difficult to precisely gauge the plane of focus since there's no distance scale (just numbers on the...

    FIRMWARE v1.1.9.2 HASSELBLAD X2D II 100C

    Glad to see this - I was getting some glitchy behavior like the screen going black, not playing back images, showing the previous photo after I took a photo…. Just installed and we will see.

    X2D II 100C official FAQ

    Yes - the difference between printing and display creates a bit of a dilemma for me. While I would like to take advantage of HDR to show HDR images on compliant displays, at the same time I sell prints, so do I really want to show images that I can't create in print when a client wants to buy a...

    X2D II 100C official FAQ

    Regarding point number 1, will this enhanced stabilization still remain in effect if my X2D II goes to sleep (not power down) or if I close the app? In other words, does the information get transferred to the camera for that four hour period and stay in the camera so I can just "set it and...

    Next Generation Hasselblad confirmed 26 AUGUST 2025, 14:00 CEST

    Hi Steve - do you know anything about the 20-35mm working with AF-C? As a recent "E" lens it would be surprising if it didn't, but who knows. Thanks Peter

    Upgrading to the Hasselblad X2D Mark II

    I am also upgrading, but wondering why ISO 50 is huge compared to ISO 64 in the current X2D?

    Next Generation Hasselblad confirmed 26 AUGUST 2025, 14:00 CEST

    10 stop IBIS is pretty insane - the X2D was already great in that respect and I'm pleasantly surprised they managed to improve it even further. Curious how the HDR functionality will play out. I also believe the LCD screen will flip downward as well as up, which will help in certain situations...

    Scratched the sensor of my CFV 100c - now what?

    Just a brief update - received my CFV 100c back from Kolari today and now I am just waiting for the Arca-Swiss adapter I bought to use with it to arrive - it's been stuck in a USPS black hole for 8 days so hopefully it will get moving soon. Kolari was great to deal with and good to know they...
