Title: XCD 120mm Macro comparison
Post by: madlantern on October 18, 2017, 05:55:21 pm

Just got my 120mm Macro for the X1D, and I did a very quick and rough comparison with the Canon 100mm L f/2.8 Macro I had on hand.

The Hasselblad is obvious sharper in the corners wide open, but in the center and stepped down, the difference becomes much smaller.

Thanks for this !!

Lucky you to get one of these unicorns. My German dealer said me I have to wait some more months to get one (I preordered mine in April).

May I ask where did you buy your copy?

Thanks for this.   I also have the same question as Siddhaarta.  Did you get this commercially and from where?   There are some reports on another forum its release may be early next year.
