There may be a difference with the X1D being a bit better but for me medium format is no longer needed or affordable. I was shooting medium format since the Kodak DCS Pro back, then on to Aptus 75S then IQ140 and IQ180.Not unless it works as a tool for the buyer. A D850 would not work for me. Even at the original price, the X1D was a bargain for me because it functions in the most essential ways to me EXACTLY the way I want a camera to function. Color, tonality, resolution, lenses, form factor, portability, User Interface. Other photographers will prioritize things differently.
I was just burned out on the cost, bulkiness, and weight.
Except for the resolution of the IQ180, the D850 is better than all of them in every way, and I can stiill process files in Capture One which is really a big deal to me.
