I have done this test before and can provide the evidence; stay tuned. It looks to me it is inherent to the lens/sensor design, but since I have only one sample maybe somebody else can refute my finding with another pairing of 907X/X1D + 28P and no cast.

BTW: I have perfectly fine real-world landscape shots with this lens stopped down with no (at least to the naked eye) perceptible cast.

I am now on the move, but according to what I read, the best way for me would be to go to my dealer when I am back, and test the lens on my camera (X1D II) in order to see if there is any magenta cast.
Provided that:
1) My dealer has a sample in stock
2) The one I could order won't be faulty....

Scene Calibration for XCD 4/28P at f4 (907X) using white LCC plate:

As I said it some posts above scene calibration (color cast) depends on aperture and focusing distance.

To assess the amount of corner coloration you have to open the calibration file
1 neutralize center color
2 place the eye dropper at a corner and measure the RGB deviation

Does anyone know when the next production batch will be available?  I arrived late on the Hasselblad digital scene and would like this lens as my all purpose wide angle similar to the 21/3.4 M Super Elmar.

I was told March by my local stockist. How accurate that is by Hasselblad standards... who knows!

Frankfurt with the 907X.

Anyone sees a magenta cast?

Black & white

Yes, have a closer look to the clouds on the right hand side. Could be in the clouds but they seem to get more blueish. Do the same scene with a LCC plate.

Sure In my next life I'll do.

Now that it is March, has anyone heard from their dealers regarding lens availabiltiy?

As of last week my dealer in Montreal, Canada had a demo copy only (i.e. not for sale).

They also had a demo XCD38V (or was it the 55?), a XCD 90V, a couple of used XCD lenses, but no new inventory that I could see.

Expected in May according to B&H

Thanks.  That's quite a wait.  Hopefully more will become available.  I am going on a trip at the end of June so will try to get one.

Has anyone owning the 21mm:

1. completely moved to the new 28mm
2. kept both, or
3. staying with the 21mm after trying the 28mm?
