The lenses / shutter actuations exif reader...
Last post by marcwilson - Today at 04:31:45 AM
Hi all,
Trying to check shutter actuations in my xcd 45/4 lens...I've checked on various exif reader tools but can't see it there.
Can anyone let me know which reader (mac based if need be) shows the actuations?

Don't think my 1dxII shows it in menu like x2d does.

Thanks very much,

Marc

X1D/X2D Cameras / Re: How long until next body e...

Quote from: JoeC on April 24, 2024, 02:16:59 AMLike my friend Howard, I've been trying to predict Hasselblad's next steps since the announcement of the X1D. It's a slow and usually frustrating process. But here are my thoughts.

The main limitation of the X2D is speed. By any measure, the camera is slow. The AF is slow, the frame rate is slow, card writing is slow... In addition, there are several "features" that were unexplainably missing from the X2D even though they were present on the X1D II - remote cable release port, interface for the GPS accessory, basic video.

So my prediction is that there will be an X2D II, well before any X3D appears. Given the imminent introduction of the GFX 100S II, Hasselblad needs to make an announcement by the fall and have cameras in users hands by late 2024 - early 2025. The new camera will have:

1. A new faster processor
2. Faster AF and Eye AF (and none of the 35mm AF fluff like animal, insect, and vehicle AF)
3. Remote cable release port (allowing Hasselblad to sell the already developed and manufactured and expensive cable release)
4. Hot shoe interface for the GPS accessory (allowing Hasselblad to sell the already developed and manufactured and expensive GPS accessory)
5. AF-C that can keep up with subject movement when shooting portraits in the studio or in the field
6. Faster frame rate when shooting in continuous mode
7. Faster writing to internal memory or a card (or both)
8. Higher resolution EVF
9. Same form factor as the current X2D
10. Same price as the current X2D

The new camera won't have a joystick. As Howard said, that seems to be counter to Hasselblad's design philosophy for the X-series. Auto ISO in Manual mode also seems to be a no-no. The X2D II will use the same 100MP sensor that has become popular in crop-sensor medium format cameras. The volume of production for that sensor, chip yield, and quality control makes it the obvious choice for the new X camera. The professional customers who shoot with the X-series are likely not screaming for more megapixels. A pixel-shift solution might be in the offing for the art repro market. And the camera's new processor would struggle with more megapixels.

OK, that's enough prognostication for one day. Thanks for listening.

Joe

I feel the things like AF-C and Eye AF its just a matter of coding and not new hardware, maybe I am naif but I hope wee shall see those with a new firmware update :)

Quote from: fcarucci on April 27, 2024, 07:19:51 AM. If you need blazing fast AF-C for your work, this is simply not the tool for your job. If you need outstanding IQ, and you can work within the limits of the tool, this is the tool for your job.

That said, Eye-AF is essential.

Not a blazing fast AF-C but just a AF-C that can track a model moving loosely around!!

Revised the listing to reflect payment methods accepted. I have removed PayPal as an option as I was just this morning targeted by a scammer. I will meet up in-person if local for a cash sale otherwise, payment using Zelle is required.
