Morning all,

I'm selling my unused Fotodiox Pro TLT ROKR Lens Adapter - Compatible with Pentax 645 (P645) Mount SLR Lenses to Hasselblad XCD Mount Digital Cameras with Built-In Tilt / Shift Movements.

£225 including shipping here in UK.

I've just received this direct from Fotodiox (to replace a previous one) but it's no longer needed.

I used with the Pentax 645 35mm lens giving a good range of movements on my X1d II.

In original box, packaging etc, tested once to check lens fits and it fits camera.

Within U.K. so no imports fees to pay as you normally would.
New to UK with import fees cost is £350

Any questions please do ask.

I remember that, it was a great idea but the PC police didn't like it.
Airnz never weigh carryon and if they do weigh it, it is because you got the grumpy lady who just wants to stir trouble. If I'm with someone who's dropping me off I get them to look after my carry on while I check in.
Just don't look like you're struggling to carry it and generally you'll be fine.

The "upcoming firmware" sounds intriguing .

Perfect fit!

Good evening all,

Hasselblad has just responded with the following after I sent them an fff file (which did not appear to display any pixel issue):


'Our R&D team confirmed that the issue do not affect the shooting as you mentioned that there is no pixel dot in the files while you transfer it to the Phocus.And the issue would be fixed in the upcoming firmware in June.We kindly recommend you to wait for the new firmware for this issue.Sorry if any inconvenience this might cause.'

Cheers.

Hi Paul,
I just purchased the X2D as well and noticed a couple of blue dots (and a red one) right away.
For me, they went away after I did the sensor calibration. Curious that the calibration didn't fix it for you. Hopefully, Hasselblad can shed some light.

Very likely.

Quote from: MGrayson on May 22, 2024, 12:28:16 AMMy 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.

Are you getting it replaced? My first copy of the 90V was defective and I had it replaced.

With any intervolmeter you will see slight gaps. Even set to 0 on an external style intervolmeter. There are software tools that can be used to close the gaps like "startracer". Requires use of a PC.

I wrote this short article discussing the gaps and how to fix them years ago when I was working the night sky for trails.

Do many X2D owners have experience of using a Leica Q3? I was wondering how much quicker the Q3 might be for street photography? Unsure if I should invest in a Q3 carry around as I mainly use the Blad for commercial work.
