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.

Buy and Sell / FS (UK) - Fotodiox Tilt Shift ...
Last post by marcwilson - May 23, 2024, 09:26:12 PM
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.

Quote from: pat m on May 22, 2024, 10:59:50 PMThere's a case for weighing passengers. After all if one weighs 75kg and another weighs in at 85kg then I'd argue to be able to carry 10kg more!  I know, . I think Air New Zealand tried it somewhat unsuccessfully many years ago.

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.

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.

Paul

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.
