Title: Issue with updating my older HC Lenses with the new X1D Firmware Update
Post by: Juanito on December 21, 2017, 11:46:06 am

I've tried updating the firmware to my HC lenses to the new version 19.0.2 so that I can use the AF on my X1D to HC converter but apparently all of the existing firmware on my lenses is too old to be updated. Is it possible to update the old firmware to a version that's new enough to be updated to the current firmware? I looked on the Hasselblad site but didn't see any other lens firmware updates. My lenses are at version 12 while the update requires that they be at version 18.

According to Hasselblad, it won't work because these older lenses have another chip.
