X1D/X2D Cameras / Re: Hasselblad X2D battery Cas...

Quote from: JCM-Photos on April 29, 2024, 05:22:09 AMPlease note that all 8 Hasselblad mirrorless cameras use the same interchangeable form factor batteries, the 2 X1D models the X1D2, the X2D, the 4 907X models.

I simply use the original cardboard packaging, after removing the internal cardboard holder, 2 batteries fit exactly in one box.

So if for example you buy 3 batteries and you have boxes for 6. The cardboard can be varnished to reinforce it, so i lasts longer.

PERFECT!

For what it's worth, I've never felt the screen on my CFV II 50c has a noticeable cast (though it is very contrasty) but it may well be different to the one on your 100C. I don't know if the colour temperature is individually (or batch) calibrated in the factory but I'm pretty sure there isn't a way for the end user to adjust the display temperature. I know it's not a satisfactory answer but I think it is one of those things you may have to learn to work around. I find the HNCS colour process in these Hasselblad cameras to be excellent and I tend to trust it to get it (mostly) right but I do get that, as an architectural photographer, you probably want a bit more reassurance that things look right at the point of taking the photograph. Perhaps you might be able to hook up your 100C with an iPad for a better preview?

It's worth stating that the steps *are* smaller with the X2D to exactly match the smaller pixel size. So you can use the same setting on each camera - you'll just get more frames from the X2D stack. (I have both X1D and X2D and did the test.)

After multiple personal trials, I use 1,3 or 2 pixels steps (small or medium) with my 50 Mpix X cameras for maximal sharpness landscapes.

this method fits well to the 21mm lens at 5.6 from 0.3m to infinity maximal sharpness.
I just have to start the shooting at infinity after AF focusing so that infinity does not fall between two steps and discard excessive frames at shortest distance.

The main problem is wind for shortest distance grasses, that makes stacking from very difficult to impossible.

After stacking I push the 50 Mpix file to 200 Mpix in Gigapixel AI without any loss, for giant prints at Epson 360 DPI

The ThinkTank holders I've used for the last 2 years are the Pro DSLR Battery Holder. They will take two Hasselblad batteries with rubber caps. Their distinguishing feature is they have separate flaps to hold each battery in place. They may be discontinued since many sources say unavailable or out of stock.
Search YouTube for "camera battery holders - think tank" it's the first video listed. Also search google images for the Pro holder, it may give more hits than google.

I had the same question for my X2D and Jim K was able to help.

One "simply" needs to use the "Thin Lens Equation" - I put it into an excel spreadsheet and have attached a screenshot for an X2D

Search on DP Review Forum for the thread titled "How does one calculate how may exposures to use in a focus-stack sequence" - there is a link to a spreadsheet in the thread.
