Just playing around with some camera movements. Theres quite a bit of swing here as well as some fall I was trying to get the door handle and the tree on the left both in focus. Made harder obviously due to the screen in the upper portion. I am having a hard time also judging if my camera is as level as I want it. I really do not like the older back's user experience. I wish they would upgrade the firmware to make it 1:1 as far as experience with the 100px back. Like it is set to show me a grid in the camera, but I don't see one in live view or anywhere. I'll keep this though for the fatter pixels.

This was with a CFV 50 with a SK SA 90 XL lens on an older arca swiss camera.

Victor, I also use the IQ4-150 and can show you recent test shots made with my 35 XL lens at f/8 and f/11 at 0mm, -5mm, -10mm and -15mm of rear shift.

I can send raw files to your email via WeTransfer. If you're interested, send me a DM.

Thank you for your offer. It has been a while since I have used my 35XL as I have not had a DB. My 100C arrives today so I will revisit this to see what develops..... no pun intended.:)

A peek at the old library in Gent, Belgium. Soft late afternoon light, hazy sun. Again, Arca Swiss RM3di, IQ4150, S-K 43XL. Shot at f/11, 1/50s, almost 20mm rise.
Learning Capture One is as much of a challenge as learning how to use the tech cam 🙃

The 43XL is just killer for architectural photography. Is the top thing in the pillar right bent in practice - would be uncommon for 43 XL to have any distortion :)

In Western-Europe, the weather is in "full autumn" mode now : wind, rain, cold ... summer seems very far away ...
And the Azalea's in the front yard are suffering ... they will not be long living this year ...
So, I hurried to make a few pics, although it was raining and I hate to go out with the Phase One gear in the rain ...

Stay safe,
Rafael

This is something of a dual purpose post. When the Hasselblad X series lenses arrived, there was a unique offering - the XCD 21/4. There was nothing else in the medium format AF world like it. Fast forward to this past year, and the XCD 21 has disappeared (at least from B&H - it is still listed on Hasselblad's website) and the widest offering is the XCD 28P/4. The new lens is much smaller and lighter than the 21, so I've been using it a lot, but how much FoV have I been losing as a result?

This morning's early spring sunrise made for an easy and photogenic test. X2D XCD 28P f/8


And with the XCD 21, also at f/8


Answer: a lot.

Matt (I'm worried about that second big tree from the left in the bottom image. It has been losing limbs and I think it's dead. It will be a heavy blow to that symmetric group of five. )

Shooting that 21 was one of the things I loved about the X1D.

They are both quite nice!
