The airlines here in Australia are getting quite strict about weight - both carry on and check-in. On my recent return from Melbourne to Sydney, they weighed all the carry on luggage at the check-in gate and had little tolerance for excess weight.  I had to pay AUD$30 to double my cary on allowance from from 7Kg to 14Kg, but did use almost every gram of the extra allowance.  Fortunately it was not that expensive, but can add up for multiple legs of travel.

I have heard from two other members that have exchanged messages with Maxcast and it seems he is indeed a scammer.

If you have been dealing with him I suggest you cease any further contact.

As previously mentioned he is banned.

I'm going to make this topic sticky for a bit to draw attention to it.

I did, but it seems the minimum interval between shots is 2 sec? Not sure if there's a way to lower that

I purchased the 28P lens from the Hasselblad site 6 hours after it was released.  Were sold out in 2 days.  I already owned the 30 and spent about 2 weeks performing detailed comparisons of their IQ and performance.  About as 2 closely matched lenses I had ever compared.  But in the majority of cases the 28P was slightly better in IQ.  Considering half the size, weight and cost of the 30 and nearly silent shutter I sold the 30.  Even though the 30 was a superb lens.

This is not what I said. I said converting into DNG from Phocus results in a loss in colours. And converting into TIFF from Phocus keeps the colours, but the file is less flexible than RAW as far as adjustments are concerned (e.g. white balance,...).

Hi,

I am selling my HASSELBLAD SONNAR FE 2,8/150 lens. I am in Spain, so I'd rather sell it to someone inside Europe. The price: 800€ + shipment

Condition good with slight signs of wear.
Lenses without scratches or fungus.

Questions are welcome!








Thanks!!

Hey,

I would love to switch my 38V against a 55V
If someone is interested in making a trade, let me know.

38V comes with a garantee, box and around 3.000 klicks.

If you take a Peli case on as hand luggage it will be scrutinised more than a normal bag. So likely to be weighed. You will be questioned if it is for professional use (for which you would need a carnet). If possible I'd put the Peli case inside another bag.

The Hasselblad X1D field kit case was based on a Peli iM2200 Storm Case which would be a good size for your requirements.

My copy of the XCD 25/2.5V has distinct coma on the left side. It doesn't show up (much) in daytime landscape pictures unless there is a bright background. For astro, it would be a pain.I first thought it was field curvature, but that is not the case. My copy also has some focus shift. If I want sharp infinity, I have to do it manually or focus stopped down. It is very sharp across the frame at f/8 - f/11.

The problem with frame averaging (a great technique to replace ND filters and improve IQ) is that there are gaps partly caused by the slow sensor readout speeds.
Global shutter would be ideal for that application.
In theory, a camera could start reading again before the full readout has occurred. It is unclear whether Olympus and Phase One do that.
Still, even with gaps, the technique is useful but you must match the shutter speed to the subject movements so that the gaps do not matter.
