IF you have access to the new V lenses then, I prefer the X2D over the Q3 (I have both). I have not tested the X2D for street since the face detect firmware arrived, so I guess I'll like it more.

I do like the Q3 through and sometimes I choose it because I feel like it. It's nice to have the option. The Q3 also can shoot some casual video, if that matters (it doesn't to me).

Mostly I prefer the X2D because I like a closer to normal focal length and the 55V suits me more than the 28 on the Q3. If I go wide, I'm likely to go wider (28 or 25 on the X2D). The Q3 is a bit of an in-between focal length for my travel photography. While I can make it work, I have better options.

They have the xCD 25v as well. I got mine from the European ie Swedish, store .... I thought it was the uk one! Oops. It took a week. 

The Q can be a nice compliment to the X2D. Street photography is a wide field. The Q3 has AFC and tracking and the AF generally works faster. Also, it has a cool macro function, which his handy at times. Maybe you rent one and try it out? If you do not happen to have the 2.5/38 for the X2D, the Q3 may be able to replace that one.

I have both systems, although i don't do "street" photography, I have walked around using both for landscape and general outdoor photos. I can tell you based on size and simplicity, the Q3 may be the better choice if you want to do carry around, shoot and go type of work. Plus the Q3 ALWAYS has the right lens on it since it can not be changed. It is smaller, lighter and easier to shoot with 1 hand and generally easier to carry around in my opinion.
Here's a few pics for comparison to my HB and xcd 55 lens.

I really like the photo. The 28p is certainly a very fine lens but I´m courious in which way "the 28P was slightly better in IQ". If I compare the MTF graphs, the 28p is perfectly fine but the 30 is clearly better, so how does the "better in IQ" manifest in your view?

They didn't state the year, though ... 

When I export from Phocus as a TIFF all lens, colors and luminosity corrections are done with the highest possible quality level (including masking in layers)

The exported TIFF, is then treated in other software´ for skin cleaning, removing spots or focus stacking, panorama stitching,resolusion pushing,..., format changes for different end uses going from large prints to phone presentations.

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.
