I've used it! I can not afford it. That's the only thing stopping me get one. Dan Cook has bought his over a few times and it's a very nice looking camera in the flesh. And it just oozes class

I had a play with it and the af is a joke on that camera!

Don't care how class it looks if half the images are out of focus!

You sound like a prime candidate for a Fuji :D

I couldn't give a flying what my camera looks like, within reason :D I managed to avoid buying into badges or class when I was into cars so I can easily avoid it with cameras :D

Would it though? I believe banding is a combination of the light source frequency, which is never constant, so you wouldn't get banding in every single shot at 20fps... it depends on a few variables including shutter speed. :)

I understand that but the percentage will still be higher than his 2%. Because it would be the exact same conditions for 1 second, there would be more repetitions of the frequency "pulse", I never said it would be every shot.

Haha no man I had a foooj f*****g awful s***. Wouldn't go back there unless I was given one.


Right one question about the r2.
I've set the shutter speed to a minimum of 125 and even tried 60 and stuck the the iso on auto. Now it's still going below 60! For the ss

I think Leica are great and fill a certain gap in the market, they are not designed to really complete with most other camera's out there.
Personally its not for me nor would I have one over a Sony A9 or even a Fuji XT-2 for that matter.... different bodies for different people :) I think the closes rival for feel and look is the Fuji X-Pro2. :)

Really?

I've always regarded Hasselblad as makers of quality kit. Wasn't/isn't it in their mission statement to make the best kit? Something like that. I'd set them apart from Leica who I now see as a sort of Morgan (them that make nice cars...) of the camera industry - making kit for people who are buying into the brand and feel rather than buying kit they think is actually the best to take pictures with.

Lumping Hasselblad with Leica is maybe an insult :D
 
Hasselblad is the daddy. i would go with them for medium format hands down.

Umm now getting ideas of selling all my canon gear for a medium format hassleblad setup for studio work!!!!

o dear!

Do you really need more than the A7RII's resolution though for studio work?
24mp is the sweet spot for me, but thinking about upgrading my MacBook Pro to be able to handle files quicker.
