I am attracted by the X2D for use as a walkaround camera to replace my Sony A7RII. I have had Blads before, so expectations are realistic and I know about what I would be getting into vs other bodies with better developed optics choices.
And there is the problem. The V series lenses are virtual (maybe that's why the V thing). There are lots of older XCD lenses and I do like the 80/1.9, but too heavy for the intended use. To keep things compact I would have to wait for the 90 and 55 V lenses. Rumors show those arriving in December Great planning Hasselblad and way to build confidence in the brand. Never mind.
I was thinking of getting a fully manual lens or two in the meantime, since I rarely use AF. That lens should have some interesting characteristics so it remains useful into the future. The most interesting characteristic I can think of is wide aperture and I am looking at the Mitakon 65/1.4. Any other suggestions, especially for older lenses that can be adapted to fit?
