Post by: mar-ko on March 04, 2018, 05:32:36 AM
FYI:
There is a lens firmware update to version 0.5.16 available on the Hasselblad website now.
"Some minor bugs fixed."

Until they acknowledge the problem, clear and loud, I am not buying the lens

Performed the update on my 3 lenses (30,45,90) w/o a hitch. I'll report back if I can see any difference.

Yep.

But the point is with focusing mechanism of 120mm

@galoubet Oh that's a nasty bug. Until H sorts this out, would creating a separate profile (C1/2/3) for the 120 close range setting work as a work-around? You can use the other two profile for full range settings, etc.

The 120 AF mechanical malfunction, as observed by many, and allegedly fixable by firmware (ref: Wade Smith) needs to be addressed. And like @Michael123 said earlier -- not buying this lens until H acknowledges the problem and fix.

Hey glad to hear that it's working out well! Hope H will fix soon.

Alex, you are brilliant! I love you  :-*

Your suggestion worked a treat. In fact it's a lot better assigning C1 & C2 to near and far focus settings than going into the menu to select one. So you have solved more than the original problem for me. Great stuff, thank you very much.
