    GFX suddenly taken off B&H website

    That is a lot of money. Although I expect a lot of third party adaptors. If you can adapt LS lenses you should be able to adapt pretty much every MF lens ever made? And that, if true, will be phenomenal. I'm really excited about this cam. It might even be I can fit my Canon glass on it, cropped...

    Where is the X1D ????

    Good point, the only Fuji I've owned was an X-Pro1 and that was already out :ROTFL:

    Where is the X1D ????

    I ducked out of Medium Format a year or two ago and have been looking for a reason to duck back in ever since. When the X1D was announced I was all for it, but held off ordering one because of my negative experience with Hasselblad, even though when the cameras work they're ace. But, issues...

    The Fuji GFX

    I saw the 110mm F2 and got all excited. Mirroless 645z with an F2 lens. Haha zomg. Worth the undisclosed price point alone.

    The Fuji GFX

    These days the camera manufacturer who gets my money will be the one who gives me ease of use features. Like custom framing overlays in the viewfinder and a joystick to control the AF points. Slowly camera manufacturers are waking up to this fact. Image quality is pretty much reaching the...

    I think this post should be moved, it's not true medium format. Loves and hugz - Phase One

    Canon 5D MK IV

    Pixel pitch: 645z 5.32 5D4 5.36 As a user of both, I feel they share the same glossy look I loved so much in the 645z. Really nice four year camera there.

    Hasselblad X1D

    What really hacks me off are cameras without a joystick to select the AF point. Totally disrupts the flow of a shoot. It's what stops me from giving more time to mirrorless as an option for weddings.

    Hasselblad X1D

    In response to the Fuji / Sony MF suggestion: It seems like only a few years ago (probably because it was) that we had our first compact with a 35mm sensor in. Now we 35mm sensors in loads of bodies and have a compact with a medium format sensor. Price doesn't really come into it when a type...

    Hasselblad X1D

    I agree, my main worry is AF speed and buffer capacity / clearance time. Mainly it would be great for bridal prep, the ceremony, reception and the couple shots. But with anything I often want to shoot and chimp quite quickly. I found the 10 second wait after a burst with t 645Z killed the moment...

    Hasselblad X1D

    What Synn said ^ The problem I had shooting MF for weddings was buffer amount and clearance speed, camera noise and low light AF ability. Sort that and I might have a whole new setup in 2017.

    Hasselblad X1D

    If I can't autofocus with a HC 100mm 2.2 then that changes things. Let's see what we can find out over the coming weeks.

    Hasselblad X1D

    On the subject of flash solutions I've 12 x Canon 600EX-RT's which can be triggered wirelessly across 4 channels by a Yongnuo YN-E3-RT on any camera with a normal hotshoe (Canon / Nikon etc) Manually of course, but I rarely use TTL - heck I can use this setup on my lowly Pentax GR2.

    Don't tell the Canon and Nikon users.

    Hasselblad X1D

    Also, as I understand it the only cameras out there are pre production units with limited features on them. So maybe it's too early to know the final behaviour and why we are limited regarding AF speed, refresh rates, buffer size and so on.

    Hasselblad X1D

    The EVF refresh rate is the same as the A7rii - I didn't know there was anything wrong with that? Shutter lag is the main thing to look at.

    Hasselblad X1D

    Agreed. The goodness of this camera is speculative. Sure, it's got a great sensor, manual controls and dual SD card slots, etc. We know what it's got. But we don't know what it's actually like. How it performs, it's speed and accuracy and how elegant it is in use are what will make it a great...

    Hasselblad X1D

    Wedding photographer checking in. I shoot around 50 weddings a year, currently with a dual 5DSr setup. I loved using my old 645z for them but the screw based AF as well as the shutter noise killed it for me. I was still using it for portraits and formals though but carrying two systems...
