Quote from: SrMi on May 10, 2024, 11:42:30 AMPhocus 3.8.1 supports XCD 25, but Adobe does not yet. The lens needs distortion and vignetting correction.
It is an excellent lens, but as mentioned, it cannot be compared with 21 because of the different focal lengths, nor is it a replacement for 21.

So where would Hasselblad take the new lenses? Is 25 the terminal point for me? Or are we going to see something wider than the 21 (I feel a new 21 would be too similar to the 25)? Any rumors at all?

Not only perception and skills, but also intellectual property, emotions, photographic art, trade,....
Huge debate.

Thanks Craig
Maxcast has a very convincing profile (I check every new one) but they have not responded to PMs from me asking for clarification and given the similarity with their other attempt to recommend a random seller, they are now banned. Thanks for flagging this.

I just watched the above topic in Youtube, and surprized how AI can change how we look at photography in the near future. I am afraid that might change our preception on our photographic skills. Do you agree？

Well the new 90mm is slightly improved on the already excellent original. But the 25 is not an alternative to a 21, IMHO. If I need 21mm a 25 isn't the lens I'll go for.

I have found I really like the 28mm focal length and I've been very happy with the 28 for my uses.The 25 won't replace that either. It's much bigger.

Having said that, if the 90 is anything to go by, these larger lenses semm to be equal to the originals. Maybe we'll get more lenses this size with highest IQ as well as some slightly smaller lenses (38 and 55) prioritising size.

For me, the 25mm will need to stand on its own.

Next lens is supposed to be a wide zoom. I'll take it. Would prefer a 70-200 first. And a 63mm with the optics of the 90V. And a 135 with the new build and AF.

"In the new year"... but he doesn't say which new year. 

(I'm happy with the current feature set, so I have no standing here...)

If, and that's a big if, Hasselblad's data sheets are to be believed, the XCD 25V at f/5.6 has very close to (or slightly better) MTF curves than the XCD 21 at f/8. The (uncorrected) distortion curves are almost identical. I'm optimistic.
