Hasselblad XCD 135/2.8 on X2D: Siemens star

June 20, 2024 JimK Leave a Comment

LensRentals has loaned me a Hasselblad XCD 135mm f/2.8 lens for testing. For the first test, I used a Zeiss Siemens star about 20 feet away. Edelkrone Tripod X Pro Arca Swiss C1 Manual exposure ISO 100 Self-time set to 4 seconds AF-S, six shots per f-stop Center and lower left corner f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6,… [Read More]

RRS L bracket for GFX 100 II — quick review

Family photography with the X2D/XCD90V and the GFX 100 II/GF110

GFX 100 II pixel shift

December 30, 2023 JimK 2 Comments

I got a complicated question that may interest others, so I’m going to answer it here. If it’s on your radar, I’d be interested to know if the GFX100ii pixel shift is improved at all from the GFX100s. It appears to be the same to me, except for the 4-shot mode. I use it on… [Read More]
