How are the HC lenses on the X1D vs the Native lens. Can the HC lenses AF on the X1D ?
HC lenses are big and heavy, but other than that they are fine. Image quality is the same as far as I can tell, which is Hasselblad.
Only very late lenses with Firmware V18 and later auto focus, which mine are not. AF is not really important for most of my work.
My eyes aren't great but focus peaking (image lights up when in focus) helps.
I shot 600 leather bags on Wednesday from 2m at f18 1/400S ISO100
All of the bags had to have an internal shot and a close-up which I cropped down to 2400x1600 pixels. They were all in focus.
