Actually seems to be just about in line with Novoflex prices at around nearly $200USD (well from when I owned one) but this makes you wonder if Fuji will do the same for the GFX under the guise of a TX1/2 adapter for an even lower price. It would also be interesting to see if these lenses were re-issued for those that want small compact manual focus lenses. It could work judging how people adapt so frequently and companies like Zeiss and Voigtlander have cut out their own niche in the market.Nice! The price is better than what Novoflex would charge!
YesMy understanding it that the X1D body has no shutter, so this would be used with the electronic shutter?
However, the electronic shutter works way better than I would have expected for many applications, including landscape. I also expect that the next generation 100MP Sony sensor for the X1D will significantly improve the readout speed of the electronic shutter feature.Yes
Not good at the track.

Don't misunderstand ... the ES is fabulous ... but occasionally I get some very interesting distortions ... my fault not the shutter. Oh Lord to be 16 and know what I do today.However, the electronic shutter works way better than I would have expected for many applications, including landscape. I also expect that the next generation 100MP Sony sensor for the X1D will significantly improve the readout speed of the electronic shutter feature.
TrueI have 2 XPan II, so this is a ~25 Megapixels XPan with ~1.5x "crop factor". You'll lose the super-wide look of the 30mm, but gain a telephoto!
I have a Flextight. While we know that digital pixel is not the same as scanned pixels, at 360dpi, I can print 44 inches wide ;-)The XPan lenses had great contrast and sharpness ... the XCD lenses can hold their own.
The ability to do a xpan format at 8 x 24 inches 360 dpi is stunning.

I have an 848. Since I shoot 4x5 for my projects, getting it makes sense and now it elevates all the film format I use to their highest'ish potentials so I am quite happy with it, but if someone drops a X1D on my door step, especially now with the XPan adapter, I would definitely not turn it down ;-)I used a H 343 scanner ... main problem was no decent lab to develop the film ... ended up spotting dust and scratches for hours.
Reality is in my use the DR and color fidelity of the Hasselblad digital cameras is good enough for my needs.
I still think that the xpan is a fabulous camera ... never wanted to deal with the weight and stress of the Linhoffs

Its not a dream!I have an 848.

Now imagine the 100MP X1D, then you would be getting a 50MP XPan image! or 75 V image... one can dream, ha ha
I mean MY getting one, even the plain old X1D, IS a dream, ha haIts not a dream!
