Yes I saw that, but I'm not sure I understand what it's saying. Is it saying I can toggle between having the front scroll adjusting the aperture vs shutter speed by changing the mode (e.g. A vs S vs M)? Or is it saying within M mode, I can toggle the functions of the front scroll wheel?

I too misunderstood I think. I thought toggle meant you could change them over. But I tried on my X2D and that's not the case. As you said, only in S or A modes. Annoying. Apologies

X1D/X2D Cameras / Re: New XCD 25V F/2.5 lens?

Quote from: davidjiang on Today at 03:23:20 AMI just got the 25V in the DJI store in Shanghai, and made a quick comparison with my XCD just in the store, when wide open, the center and side tiny better than 21, corner similar or 21 tiny better. but after f4, it's a killer.
AF is faster, shutter sound like 90V, and can be 1/4000!
But as mahillsc mentioned, 21 is 92 degree vs 82 degree, so I will keep my 21 for a while...
Anyway, quite happy with the 25V.
I will take it to a city walk tomorrow to do more test

Wow, you must've grabbed one of the first ones available. How many do they have in stock?

The MTF charts on Hassy's website looks very similar to the 21mm, but that one is wider. However, the XCD 30 chart still looks flatter - do you happen to have a 30mm to test?

I wonder what their future lens line-up will be? It seems they are releasing new V lenses in between old "classic" lens focal length - the 25mm being in between the 21 and 30mm. Does that mean the new widest angle will stop at 25mm? Or will they push further, and go with something wider than 21mm - e.g. 18, or 19 or something?

Quote from: fcarucci on Today at 02:53:57 AMThis is unfair. I just got the 90V and I hoped my lens lust could be satisfied for a little while, but no... I'll take solace in using the amazing 21mm.

I totally agree! I just ordered it from the Hasselblad European shop. Had to trade in my XCD 4/21 to do it though. sigh.

I will not part with my 21. It's just too beautiful and wonderful for a lot of landscape photography. I still want the 25V too.

Perfect FOV (20mm on 35mm) for my style of landscape and nightscape shooting -- but £3.5k ......

Excellent pictures on the Hasselblad site as well as the Photography Life review:

Buying one was not in my plans, nor in my budget, but seeing those pictures I just *want* one  >:(
