FYI the Metz M400 works well and is small. It's my small go anywhere flash when I don't want to carry around the Profoto B2. Cheers, Chris

Where is the X1D ????
- Thread starter etto72
- Start date
I've just seen the lens is now listed on the Park Cameras website with photos and specs. https://www.parkcameras.com/p/H2421...asselblad/hasselblad-xcd-120mm-macro-f35-lens
Apologies if these were widely known already, I just hadn't seen it before.
I am on the very top of the list at Adorama
Last thing I heard was end of March
I placed my order in the fall!!!!!!!!!
So depressing
The good news is that last week I got the 90mm....
Thanks for the report, Joe. Would be interesting to see how long it'll take for your 2nd order to ship. Hopefully not another 4 months!

The next rowboat with more batteries is just leaving China now. Due to arrive in July.

I was also told over the weekend that my spare battery was available. I mis-read the email and asked for two and they said... you can have one. :ROTFL:
Still no word on the xh adapter though.

Received my XCD 45mm last week and my X1D is supposed to ship out tomorrow
Looking forward to sharing when I get it. I have an engagement shoot this weekend, and if it arrives in time, I will break it out for that (along with whatever other system I choose to use).

Congratulations, glad it finally arrived! I hope it proves a very satisfying and useful camera for you.

Thanks! So far initial impressions are positive. Startup time is quicker than expected, I clocked it at about 8-9 secs. Initial battery charge took about 3 hours, I let it go for 5 even though the manual says it may take up to 6 and says to let it go for 6. It shipped with firmware v1.15.0-6541. Useability is MUCH improved from the demo I attended last August and it seems that Hasselblad has done a tremendous job improving it via firmware. Touchscreen/menu navigation/playback/pinching for zoom upon review/overall fluidity etc works great. Rear LCD could be higher resolution but not a deal breaker. EVF is...fine. It's not best in class by any means but it will work fine. Shutter sound is worse than I remember, very tinny, but I'll get used to it. Used it for about 10 minutes, camera started getting a little warm but nowhere near the heat it was putting out at the demo in August. A joystick for focus point selection would be great, but the implementation of currently selecting focus points will work fine once I get used to it. Coming from an H4D-40 and a 645z, the idea of multiple selectable focus points for MF outside the center of the frame is still blowing my mind. Formatting the included memory card in camera before using it and no errors there. Updated for lens firmware said it could take up to 15 minutes but only took about 30 seconds to a minute (for the XCD 45mm to v0.53).
Would like to see being able to change the size of AF point but I understand that will come in a future firmware update. Image review in the EVF would be great as well, at the very least histogram review so I don't have to squint in bright sunlight in the field. I'm sure I'll come up with a list of future firmware updates I'd like to see, but from my 10-15 minutes of use so far, it is far less quirky than I expected. Great job Hasselblad for all the improvements since the demos last fall. Now lets get some more batteries shipped in the US.
Congratulations on your X1D. The shutter sound depends on the lens, some are saying XCD 90mm sounds nicer. The camera is instantly ready if it stays in sleep mode. Fun fact: it takes 7 hours to drain the battery in sleep mode.
Did any of you received a X1D 4116 in the last weeks???
:banghead::banghead::banghead::scry:
A bit of info for those in the US
X1D, H6D-50c & H6D-100c are in stock at dealers nationwide
H lenses, XCD 45 & XCD 90 should also be in stock nationwide, XCD 30's are shipping, but slowly
4116 units should be shipping again very soon.
I hope this helps answer a few questions on product availability.

Thank you for the info Steve, I really appreciate it
I placed my 4116 order at Adorama in November
and I am still waiting
It's really discouraging for me not to have a clear estimation.
I was told a while ago by the Adorama rep. that I am in the top on their list but that they don't have a date... Apparently the buyer (is that you?)said that it will be soon!
I wondering what you mean with the term "soon" ....days,weeks or months away??
Thank you
Best regards
