Last post by Thyl - May 17, 2024, 09:36:29 PMQuote from: Ralf on May 17, 2024, 07:37:45 PMI don't see there being a global shutter for a 44x33 100 MPIX sensor in the foreseeable future.
It however appears that the 128 MP global shutter sensor that Sony now has, exhibits (surprisingly) a similar dynamic range than the 102 MP in the X2D. The sensor area is slightly larger, but I'd reckon that not to be a major issue.

The Leica S system has some lenses with central shutter (named "CS"), too.
OK, that's right. But unfortunately the Leica S system has been discontinued.
I really liked the concept of the S3.

I have just purchased the XD2 and noticed, when I look at the back screen or through the EVF with the lens cap on, that there are 2 blue pixels on the sensor. I calibrated once this morning but they remain

Hi, I just did the same after having noticed 2 red dots, after calibration they are gone. Now I need to take some pics and check again.

X1D/X2D Cameras / Nikon AF Assist
Last post by pb - May 17, 2024, 08:17:08 PMGood morning all,
A quick question - can any advise whether the AF assist on the Nikon SB-700 Speedlight works on the X2D?
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Paul

Last post by pb - May 17, 2024, 08:14:18 PMThanks Etienne,
I am coming to the same conclusion as you. However, Hasselblad has asked for more info which I have provided. I will get back to you when I hear back from them.
Kind regards,
Paul

Last post by etn - May 17, 2024, 08:06:28 PMHi Paul,
Reading your post I did the same, i.e. look at the EVF with the lens cap on. (I never did that in my 6 months of X2D ownership.) I too can see two "dead on" pixels, white in my case. I never noticed them on any of my pictures, though.
To be honest I never gave dead pixels a thought up to now, and probably will keep it that way... I'd expect they are probably easily removed in post if they become annoying? (Note: I am totally ignorant about post processing techniques beyond the very basic.)
Thanks,
Regards,
Etienne

Last post by Ralf - May 17, 2024, 07:32:44 PMI hope that Hasselblad will stick with the leaf shutter. That makes the camera unique. The only alternatives with a leaf shutter are PhaseOne, Leica Q (1, 2, 3) and the Fuji X100 (something). The PhaseOne is in a different price range and the Q and X100 have no option to change lenses.

Last post by vitdev - May 17, 2024, 01:52:40 PMQuote from: snkn on April 16, 2024, 08:04:56 AMSame here but no incidence on the functioning of the shutter.
I asked Hasselblad about it but got an evasive answer.
Kind regards,

Same here! I asked B&H and Hasselblad. HB gave evasive answer, but they responded after B&H told me to return it, which I did.
I just received a replacement (three months later) and it has a similar issue, although less oil, and blades seem to be flatter (the first lens had space between shutter blades).
I also got 28P recently and shutter is pristine clean there too.
Could you upload a photo of your shutter blades?
