    Hello Jimmy, nice to see you again. I would like to ask you about the x2d and cfv 100 what is your opinion about these ? Im buying one but I really cant decide about it. I only take cityscape and landscape like mark power , alec soth.
    Thanks ❤❤

    I concur with the post process.. i have been converting through the phocus software before importing to LR, while nowadays i have been solely using my ipad hence i imported straight to the LR with camera standard color profile and i find it quite close, and eliminating the need to convert first, i think im fine with it

      right, it really helps to streamline the process (if you do post in LR anyways that is).

    I switched from M11 to X2D. I really like M cameras but I felt that I just wasn’t happy with the consistency especially with colour.
    The ibis in the Hasselblad is amazing too. For me, it was really the colour though. The images have something I’ve not seen in any other system. I can’t even say what, but whatever it is it’s real.
    The innermost ring on the XCD 55 can be used as an aperture ring by the way, which is how I use it.
    Lovely photos of Japan. Great place to take a camera.

      Since Leica went CMOS there is sadly no consistent colour reproduction anymore.
      They are still trying to figure it out like all other manufacturers. The last consistent M cameras are the M8 and M9 series.

      @@Funktrainer I agree. I found with the M11, I would get maybe 1 in 20 images that I looked at and thought 'Wow!' and the rest just "meh'.
      The other issue is that an M is severely restricted by the fact that it must remain an M in physical size and appearance and there is a limit to what you can fit in. The M11 had endless issues on launch and for many users, still does.
      The X2D was designed from a blank slate without pre-ordained ideas about size and shape. It really shows when you use it.

      The X2D is the most uninspiring camera I have used, its a simple point and shoot camera, too easy auto everything, anti shake, it doesn’t involve you its just a happy snap camera, the lenses are nowhere near Leica quality or sharpness, give me an M11 or my M6 any day!

    As M11 user I also had an interest to X2D. But I changed my mind couple of days ago. Because I understood Hasselblad will not so inspire me for a long time as Leica do. Leica - it's a photography by itself

    I bought this Hasselblad kit two months ago and have now sold it
    It didn't live up to my expectations on many counts.
    but most importantly, it's not fun to shoot with. It's just a tool for boring work

      Quote "Whether it is JPEG photos directly out of the camera or 3FR files from Hasselblad’s image processing software Phocus, the results will always be the genuine “Hasselblad colour"" They did not mention LR or any adobe product. At least that's all I can find from Hasselblad's side.
