If only! It makes it easier to see *where* your comments are but the red against the sit's background color produces a really weird visual effect - for me at least!

Is it the red color? I could try orange.

Red tends to float forward, so does orange. Try yellow or pale blue?

Perhaps preferable not to use that format at all. Personally I'd prefer to see the complete quote and answer each point individually.
Ok.

The AUTO WB and all color balance settings...daylight etc are MUCH better. And the awful green cast on LCD is gone! Auto WB works like it should. Eleanor

wasn't sure where to exactly post this and didn't want to generate a new thread. I figured here would be a good place considering what I wanted to share was less the review but some of the example photos. I personally like the architectural b+w and the portrait - above the handling section) this camera has a lovely recipe from its pipeline in its neutral tones and color rendition imho... in either case here is the link:

This is for Victor. Sorry I did not have time to take something more interesting in the snow with the XCD 30MM lens, so I just shot this from my bedroom window this morning. F/9.5 at 1/90. Zero processing in Phocus. The XCD 30MM lens appears incredibly sharp right into the corners. After buying 4 copies of each Sony/Zeiss lens to get one good copy, I am amazed at the performance of the first and only copy of each of the XCD lenses that I purchased. These are exceptional lenses.

couple of questions ....
(i) given the large sensor in a thin and small body - did Hasselblad manage to avoid heat issues?
(ii) any insight at all if a possible roadmap will include a wide tilt-shift?
Thanks!

It sure is ALL about the lenses. I always did think that the Sony/Zeiss lenses were junk with incredible sample variations. Great to see these kind of results.....

Jon,
I have been using the camera quite consistently and have not notice any heat problems whatsoever.
No, I have not been shooting in desert conditions, but in normal California spring-like conditions, everything seems "normal." -- Eli

You're so right about that. The trouble is, when you get a good one, they really are good. It has taken me years to assemble a good stable of them and now even if I sold my A7RII I would keep the lenses as an insurance policy against Sony finally releasing a camera that feels really nice to use!
Well, I have been shooting in sub-freezing temperatures in New England. If the body were giving off any heat, it would be welcome.
This just makes me shake my head in disbelief.... 'Years to assemble a good stable of them' is a staggering statement of the complete lack of QC for those lenses. How many dealers did you burn bridges with? That's what made me just move on..... I didn't want B&H to ban me - you can only buy and return a lens so many times before finally someone says 'I don't want to do business with you'!! I hope the next iteration of the Sony camera is to your liking..... I expect that it will be somewhat of a show stopper.

Generally speaking, one gets the quality control one is prepared to pay for. One should not be surprised that a lens that retails for 1000$ has more sample variation than one that retails for 3 times as much. All the more if the MF lens is a prime and the cheaper lens a zoom, which implies more complex mechanics and twice as many elements.
At the price point that the Sony/Zeiss lenses were marketed their QC vs. decent competition was outside the window. You would also, maybe, be surprised at the QC variations that I have experienced with lenses costing up to 7 times the $1000.00 retail of Sony/Zeiss. That being said, I think that lens manufacturing is a very difficult process with extremely difficult repeat-ability. I also think that lens manufacturers are sensitive to the disappointment of their customers. Maybe all of this will lead to some sort of cost effective way of improving QC so that the cost of reliably purchasing an acceptable lens isn't astronomical. Howard's post seems to point to that end. Time will tell.....
