Electronic shutter only, like the X1D, if used with adapted lenses from V system or other makes. XCD lenses have shutters built in that the 907x body controls along with providing AF, etc. (V system lenses have shutters too, but the Hasselblad XV Adapter and 907x body aren't designed to take advantage of that. Of course, just put the back on your V system reflex body for them...)Does it have a shutter or does one need to use electronic shutter only?
It looks very nice.
Thank you. So with xcd lenses the shutter in the lens works? Damn...One reason less to not buy a 907 + cv50iiElectronic shutter only, like the X1D, if used with adapted lenses from V system or other makes.

The shutter in the lens works AND the XCD lenses autofocus on the 907x bodyThank you. So with xcd lenses the shutter in the lens works? Damn...One reason less to not buy a 907 + cv50ii
My first reaction when I saw the announcement was that an expected December ship date almost assuredly means that it won't ship until next year, well after the 50th anniversary. I am on the fence about whether I want the traditional or the special edition. What I really want is a little bit more of a sensor I suppose. And maybe that damn cable release I've been waiting months for. But at any rate, is it weird that B+H only shows the Special Edition on their website?Could someone of you be so kind and explain to me how a big announcement on a great day (18 July 2019, 50° anniversary of the landing on the Moon) turned out to nothing until December 2019? What did HB celebrate? A post on Instagram and on their web site?
I know I know, anticipation is everything today. That's the reason why supermarkets start selling Christmas's stuff in August. Shouldn't HB do the same?
The Hasselblad Special Edition is so quintessentially cool that, to do it justice, you need a camera case for it that literally glows from the inside when you open it, just like the brief case in the movie Pulp Fiction.I pre-ordered one as well :bugeyes:
The 21mm is it for me, no question. It produces the same FoV as the Hasselblad SWC on the 907X/CFV50c sensor and has similar imaging qualities. That is perhaps my favorite UW look and feel of all.I have done similar exercises but not written down the results .
One main factor for me is , that I can attach the back to my ALPAs .
I also plan to get the XCD 21mm or the XCD 30mm soon after the CFV II 50 c + 907x (chrome version) have arrived , but my money printing machine refuses work . I can not make up my flipping mind whether to get the 21mm or 30 mm lens .
Lens choice is always very personal, but the 21 is something special. It inspires to create. Yes, it is very wide, but the quality all the way to the corners is the 'whole deal'! Spectacular. For me it is a must have.I have done similar exercises but not written down the results .

I suspect the same will be true for me ... I only very very rarely carry more than one or two lenses at a time.Lens choice is always very personal, but the 21 is something special.

I am actually completely satisfied with my (only) three lenses, 21+45+90, covers 90% of what I do out in the field.
FWIW I agree with Dan re: the 21mm. I had both the 21mm and 30mm for a time, and then ended up selling the 30mm as I found I never used it once I received the 21mm. The 21 is something that more inspires me to create whereas the 30 was just another lens slightly wider than the 45mm that was taking up space. Lens choice is of course personal and YMMV, good luck with the decision! They are both great lenses, and my favoritism for the 21 over the 30 had nothing to do with image qualityI have done similar exercises but not written down the results .

Sounds very similar, although I like the wide to be a bit shorter.I have usually ended up with a three-lens kit. I like having a normal focal length (equal to the diagonal of the format) and then a wide 0.5 to 0.6 times normal and a tele 2.0 times normal. That seem to give me the best working spread.
