Quite honestly I've been making 30x40 inch prints from files from my 50 mp X1Dii that look incredible with greater image quality than I was able to get from a drum scanned 4x5 film.

I don't think this anomily has anything to do with pressure.  In my bag my camera is pointed down in the bag with nothing making contact with the screen.  It looks more like damage caused by something behind the screen that maybe getting a little warm.  Fortunately it has no effect on the camera.

If you use flash, the 100C has another advantage with its supplied TTL flash adapter which is a neater and more convenient way of connecting a Profoto trigger or equivalent.

Personally, I won't be upgrading to the 100C version until I feel I have had sufficient use from my 50C. I too use my 907x and 45P on long hikes where weight is a significant consideration but, for me, a 120g weight saving isn't a sufficient justification for the upgrade cost. I mostly use manual focus so the focussing improvements are not going to persuade me to upgrade. All in all, the new 100C seems like a nice upgrade but I'm quite happy with what I have already got.

How you do connect them to the X2D system?

Thanks!

Quote from: acg69 on May 24, 2024, 11:12:10 PMIf for some reason I needed a complement to the X2D for a substantially different experience, I would get one of the last 3 variants of the X100. There, the size-weight advantage is clear (the Leica is a tank!) and it is the quintessential street camera, if that's your thing.

Interesting. For what it's worth, I had an X100s (2nd generation) bought new in 2013. It followed my Rolleiflex, which went everywhere with me until that point I have used the X100s quite extensively for traveling since and loved it! It has now been replaced by the X2D + 45P (or 65) combo. If I needed/wanted something smaller today, I'd also consider the Ricoh GR IIIx. When not flying I still prefer film, either the above-mentioned Rolleiflex, Makina 67, or Nikon F3 + 40mm. My concern is bringing film through airport security.

I purchased a Ricoh GR3 last year, and while I definitely enjoyed the smaller size and compactness of it all, I have found that I use it less and less and am using the X2D exclusively now.  The X2D, while certainly much bigger and heavier, has just so much better image quality, and better image stabilisation that it is my only camera to use when I plan to take pictures.  The Ricoh GR 3 fills the gap when I don't plan to take pictures, and I have it along "just in case", but then my iPhone fills that gap too

Quote from: Jgregg on May 28, 2024, 06:26:53 PMI am a fan of the Peak Design straps and quick attachment loops, but I wonder how those thin loops would wear on the HB clips, which seem more sharp edged than other camera split rings etc. Anyone had experience of using for a long period?

That seems a bit scary to me too. Another user has posted a photo of that set-up if you haven't seen it.

by the way: which is yours wrist strap?

It's made by Harry Benz and it's really well made and works perfectly too.

hello, what interests me is a comparison of the optical quality at the same aperture.

Hi,

I'm using the Peak Design straps now for more than 1 year, very satisfied. There have been no failures so far and I'm using the camera almost every day.

Hope this helps.
