    Phocus 4.0

    Now that Hasselblad has figured out how to export a new DNG raw file from Phocus that includes the Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction, it would be great if the exceptional lens corrections that Phocus offers could also be included.

    What's next for Phase? Meanwhile in China ... 30Y golden limited edition IQ4!

    My own view is that releasing a Phase One back with gold buttons is not a positive sign. More a cynical act of desperation. Very sad for a company that not so long ago defined in a positive way the high end of the photographic market.

    L Bracket for the X2D II

    my understanding is that the really right stuff L bracket for the X2D also fits seamlessly on the X2D mark two. I suspect there are many happy customers with the really right stuff L bracket their X2D cameras. I am one of them

    Processing X2D II files

    If you make relatively minor local adjustments using simple masks in Phocus, Phocus MAY produce a subtle advantage in the color and tonal rendering of the file when you output the file for print or the web. However, LR has vastly more powerful masking capabilities for making local adjustments...

    AF Performance, or the lack of thereof if old lenses on the X2D II

    I do recall when the X1D Mark 1 was released that there were issues with the reliability of the AF with certain XCD lenses. This issue was eventually fixed with firmware updates, and I expect that the same would be the case with the "old" XCD lenses on the X2D Mark 2. However, while I appreciate...

    XCD 35-100E vs 35-75 lens sharpness?

    My experience as well. I have an inventory of prime XCD lenses as alternatives, but the 35-75 remains virtually glued to my X2D and, before that, to my X1Ds.

    Expirience with the Hasselblad XCD 135 + 1.7TC?

    I have had the 135mm and the TC for several years. The optical quality of the lens is superb, both with and without the TC, but I rarely shoot it wide open. There are TCs and there are TCs. This one is designed just for the 135, and it shows. The one drawback is that I usually shoot in adverse...

    Phase One iMX-RS250

    "Getting off topic" here is a just euphemism for ad hominem insults.

    Hasselblad X2D ii with Pentax 645 600mm with and without 2x extender just in case it helps someone

    The sample photos or schlepping that lens two miles over the sand?

    Phase One Announces Leadership Transition - New CEO and Chairman

    This post from Lula was a well articulated and dispassionate explanation of the economic realities that faced the manufacturers of medium format cameras that did not have their own profit stream from sales of digital backs to subsidize the sale of the cameras and lenses. To say it fell on deaf...

    Phase One Announces Leadership Transition - New CEO and Chairman

    Hasselblad was the first to close off its new HX camera bodies around 2010. Phase introduced the XF in2015. Around 2017, Phase introduced the IQ4 series of backs and decided that Hasselblad had a good idea when it closed off the H bodies so it reciprocated by closing off the IQ4 backs to H...

    Phase One Announces Leadership Transition - New CEO and Chairman

    The bad blood between Hasselblad and Phase dates back to the early days of medium format digital camera systems when digital backs with integrated batteries were introduced by Phase One. The dominant camera system at the time for mounting Phase backs was the Hasselblad H system. The high profit...

    Next Generation Hasselblad confirmed 26 AUGUST 2025, 14:00 CEST

    I ma leaving for Africa shortly for two weeks. I am taking a Sony A7RV with me instead of my X2D, because of the reach of the lenses available for the A7RV and the AF capabilities. However, I cannot believe the sheer insanity of the menus and the mind numbing number of options for configuring...

    Hasselblad X2DII

    Perhaps, but I do not recall the description of HNCS that way before, though it has long been the case that the sensors have been individually calibrated.

    Hasselblad X2DII

    One curious sentence in the description of the new camera provided by Hasselblad: "Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) technology is integrated into the camera’s system, delivering superb, true-to-life tones that match what the human eye sees." I don't recall ever seeing H saying that the...

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Is it clear that non US customers will also have to 3% extra? I didn't read it that way.

    Phocus Mobile 2 v3.0.0

    Can't you use Phocus mobile to capture your raws in the field, then go home, and transfer the raws to a folder on your desktop, applying the new NR to any of the raws you select? I would hope that those raws with the new NR applied can be imported into desktop Phocus and LR and the NR is...

    New Hasselblad XCD 3,4/75P

    I see that Capture Integration also has stock of the 90mm f/2.5 V lens, which I have never seen in stock. (Steve, please don't call and tempt me!)
