September 10, 2022 JimK 6 Comments

I haven’t posted much here lately. I’ve been involved with another project that’s taking up a lot of my time.

But there are some interesting posts coming. I’ve ordered a Hasselblad X2D 100 and the new quick-focusing 38 mm f/2.5 lens. I’ll be testing those and reporting on my findings in this blog.

I’ve also ordered the new Fuji 20-35/4 GF zoom, and I’ll be testing it against the 23/4, and possibly some other GF lenses.

Watch this space!

    I’m excited for the Hassy, but I can’t wait for your thoughts on the 20-35! You’re one of the only tech reviewers/testers who I trust

    Hello Mr. Kasson. I have a question.

    Is it possible for Fuji RAW ( or any RAW ) to clip highlights before the corresponding JPEG does?

      No. If the raw values clip, that will make the jpeg image have problems.

      I got an email from my dealer on Friday that said Hasselblad expects to ship cameras to him sometime next week.

        Hi Jim
        Ouch and sorry. Thought you were already at it. I look forward to your opinion on X2D – it seems to have som important new features which may make an upgrade from X1D interesting. I can wait and put some cash aside 😉
        Regards, Robert
