Well, after an almost 9-month wait, not to mention my excursion with the GFX system (that for my particular photography did not work out), thanks to recent blogs on the Diglloyd.com “Medium Format” section and posts on the Hasselblad X1D, I am ready to endure (with patience I hope) the problems the X1D seems to have, and have taken the plunge.
I got the last X1D from a recent batch at Adorama that sold out in 24 hours, and also the 90mm lens. I have the 30mm lens on order and will probably get the macro lens when it appears.
As they say in the movies, “I’ve got my head right, boss.” I will give the X1D a try and remind myself that this is not for the close-up, stacking work that I usually do, but for a new adventure that might even include people (heaven forbid) and certainly landscapes. So, where are we discussing the X1D these days, aside from this thread?
