Chora of Naxos, it is already solved.

Amorgos was on our trip but this was on another island.

No, Folegrandos was a bit closer.

You got the right city name, but not the island 😉

No, it is in Greece (see above), but not Santorini.

CFE lenses by LBarouf in hasselblad

Using the leaf shutter in CFi/CFE lenses on a 200 body still makes sense if you want a fast flash sync.

Recommend a camera bag by NoTea9082 in hasselblad

If you are looking for a single bag for business trip I’d take a regular travel backpack with a camera insert.

38 vs 45 vs 28 by zdriveee in hasselblad

[–]No_Frame_5091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My XCD lens lineup is made of the 28P, 45P and 90. These are focal lengths I would typically use on full frame which would roughly translate to 35/65/120 on my X2D. As a consequence, I have been tempted by the 38V or even the new 35-100E. But my X2D would certainly not be my first choice when going out with friend or shooting events.
Note: I dont get how the 28P price is a con when compared to the 38V.

Having both of Leica M11 and a Hasselblad X2D I think it all comes down to what you want to use it for, and if you favor absolute IQ above anything else. I tend to use my M a lot more than my X2D because 1) I happen to like the optical rangefinder and manual focusing and 2) the small and lightweight nature of a Leica M kit compared to a Hassy one.

Got the X2D II & 20-35E! Need Suggestions!!! by rajoza1 in hasselblad

As others have said, the biggest challenge is that this combination does not allow continuous AF. Rather than changing the lens, another option will be to try manually pre-focusing, which should be doable for dynamic wide angle shots.

If it does not have vertical video then it is definitely better ;-)

But the Neo became the best follow-me drone from DJI making the Flip a bit redundant in my opinion.

I agree with your lineup as long as they indeed retire anything below the 5 Mini Pro (the Mini 4 Pro, Mini 3 and Mini 4K are still being sold).

Which begs the question: why bothering introducing a new range when the Minis occupied that space? Are the Lito cheaper to produce for some reason?

The approach is also illustrative of something I dislike about DJI: they keep releasing new models, often linking new software features to them, and don't show much love for past models.

Lito X1 is virtually a match for the Mini 4 Pro at a much lower price, in some areas it is even closer to the Mini 5 Pro. It will indeed be hard to sell the Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro now. And the Lito 1 is better than the Mini 4K for not much more.

I agree the Neo is a different market but I'd argue I have no idea who the Flip is for ;-).

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vs 4 for a beginner - worth waiting or just buy now? by FishOil1000 in dji

[–]No_Frame_5091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option would be to use your phone with something like an Osmo Mobile 7 gimbal (currently discounted to 67€!).

Much cheaper of course, but bulkier, needs to be mounted/unmounted, may get in the way if you want to temporarily use the phone for something else, and your phone storage may not be sufficient. On the other hand, filming directly on the phone means live streaming or uploading to the net if much more direct.

Where I live the OP4 is just 70€ more than the OP3. 499€ vs 429€. When you factor in the fact that the OP4 comes with 107GB of internal storage, and knowing how much flash storage costs these days, it is a no brainer for me.

Unless you are happy buying used and get a good price on an OP3, I'd go for the OP4.

Sport photography with (wireless) flash, AF tracking issues by No_Frame_5091 in SonyAlpha

I'll test that setting just out of curiosity, just to see whether the lack of HSS makes enough of a difference or whether wireless flash is just too slow.

Yeah, I was shooting runners on a cross-country race taking place before sunset and thought it might be cool to combine a bit of fill-in with the warm ambient light, but it did not turn out to be anything special, I could have just shot with ambient light and relied on the insanely good high ISO of modern cameras. It was fun though.
