With all due respect, there is always a guy with a video on YouTube finding fault with [insert camera brand here]. There will also be a guy with a video telling you [insert camera brand here] is undeniably the best.I don't have any experience with the X system, but there is a video on youtube where all lenses are discussed incl. optical characteristics and it seems that the X lenses are not consistent across the range and with edge softness on some lenses. This is not a problem per see, but ....
With all respect as well, commenting on your knee-jerk comment that it is a trite thing for me to cite a youtube based X lens evaluation: I am not referring to opinions here, but to a systematic evaluation of the X system lenses and their optical quality via samples on a technical chart; that is very good content from a youtuber and a valid reference and not some random dude's musings and I was referring to the varying quality of the lenses in the Hassy line which is evident. I am not citing the opinion of the Youtuber.With all due respect, there is always a guy with a video on YouTube finding fault with [insert camera brand here].

I would suggest that Vieri Bottazzini would be a very credible reference. He's a member and posts here. He was a Leica ambassador and is now affiliated with Phase One.
Spoiler alert. In this article he explains why he moved from the Leica SL to the Hasselblad X1D II before finally choosing the XT.
a very healthy perspective!Quantitative vs qualitative really is something that we'll never solve. I like my Leica (M & SL), Fuji GFX and Phase One on technical cameras.
None of them makes sense. But I like using them.
Isn't that a tautology? The brighter the quant, the more likely they're calculating how to undermine/replace you?I managed a quant group at a large bank (I then managed managers of quant groups, which sucked, but that's another story).
No, I was upfront abut how delighted I would be for one of them to replace me.Isn't that a tautology? The brighter the quant, the more likely they're calculating how to undermine/replace you?
Actually after 30+ years working with the best cameras and optics available I've stopped being reactive to anyone's comments. My knees are perfectly still, shutter release in-hand. Opinions are all valid and like Apertures, we all have one, or more.With all respect as well, commenting on your knee-jerk comment that it is a trite thing for me to cite a youtube based X lens evaluation: I am not referring to opinions here, but to a systematic evaluation of the X system lenses and their optical quality via samples on a technical chart; that is very good content from a youtuber and a valid reference and not some random dude's musings and I was referring to the varying quality of the lenses in the Hassy line which is evident.
But you are.I am not citing the opinion of the Youtuber.
Agreed.As anyone who has tried to optimize a function of several variables has learned, optimizing for a single variable is pretty close to useless. The photographic experience is mind bogglingly NOT lens-quality constrained. ...
.... It's all good. Get what you like.
I absolutely resent both your comment and the implication of it, Paul. Being an Ambassador for any brand never stopped me from writing what I thought of any of the equipment I review, pros, cons and everything in between....
And so sorry I am to mention it, Vieri is a nice member of this forum, but he is also constantly being sponsored by all manufacturers and then for discounts writes articles about products ... I know from the European sales head of Phase One that they offer special discounts to brand ambassadors organizing workshops and which can drive sales, especially during these difficult times for the bespoke photography segment. Which is fair.
