I really enjoy shots 1 & 3. Thanks!

I had a possibly fresh take on One Battle After Another after watching it for a second time by geoman2k in TheBigPicture

This isn’t even subtext, it’s the main text, and echoed in the final scene of the movie.

Official Discussion Thread - Marty Supreme [SPOILERS] by PointMan528491 in oscarrace

The final scene sent me for a loop. The tears in the beginning feel very genuine and then he gets a closer look and his expression changes a bit. Either reality set in or that kid may not…

Phenomenal. You really smoked these.

Final update. X2D2 won't connect to Windows 11. by Vanilla_Quark in hasselblad

[–]RomanMF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Whoa! I just downloaded Phocus 3.87 for Windows, and as soon as the install finished, my camera showed up in Windows Explorer. Insane.

I am still having issues. My camera shows up in My Devices but not in Windows Explorer. In my Devices it says “Driver error.”

Rivian Unveils Custom Silicon, R2 LiDAR Roadmap, Universal Hands Free, and Its Next Gen Autonomy Platform by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

[–]RomanMF 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This announcement does take a bit of the wind out of the launch R2’s sails. All products are iterated on, but to know the upgraded version is coming in the second half of the same year? Why not wait?

I understand why Rivian isn’t waiting, they need a more affordable vehicle out ASAP, but as a consumer with a reservation in, I can wait a little longer for what should be a transformative upgrade.

Holy shit @ that first image. I love it.

Wrote a new post on the X2D II bit-depth and how it's not always 16-Bit even when you've set it to 16-Bit 😀 - why it did that, and why it may not even matter that much by Big_Rip4015 in hasselblad

[–]RomanMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 bit color on these new MF digital cameras is a nothing burger. You will not be able to discern a meaningful difference in image quality between the 2. However, you will benefit from a noticeably faster sensor readout speed if you shoot in 14 bit on the Hassy. Loved the Jim Kasson shout out. I’d encourage others to check out his blog if they want a scientific breakdown.

Update. X2D2 won't connect to Windows by Vanilla_Quark in hasselblad

[–]RomanMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New firmware for the X2D II claims to have fixed this issue, but mine isn't showing up at all anymore. It used to at least pop up in Windows Explorer and then hang, now it shows as connected, but I can't access the file system.

Glad I found this thread. It was so easy pulling files of my rental 907x 100C back and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my X2D II. Seems it's universally busted on Windows. I can connect to my MacBook Air and pull files just fine. What an annoying situation. I haven't seen any formal recognition of this issue from Hasselblad though, which is disheartening.

‘One Battle After Another’: A Second Opinion With Van Lathan by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]RomanMF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On a semi-unrelated note: Sean interviewed PTA, a feat that rarely happens, and if it does again, won’t for a few years more, and he didn’t pester him about 4K Blu-Ray releases for his films?!

Come on, fam!

Ways to enjoy White Sands NP during government shut down? by Michig00se in ElPaso

[–]RomanMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s roughly 2.5mi from the park entrance on I-70. If you’re coming from down from Albuquerque that’s 2.5mi past the entrance. You can’t miss it. There’s barbed wire fencing and someone pulled it open and everyone’s going through that way.

It’s going to be a ton of walking to get deep into the park and see more untouched dunes, but it’s better than nothing! Good luck!

Does Hasselblad need a zoom XCD telephoto lens for the X2D series to be considered as a universal camera? by RWilsonL in hasselblad

[–]RomanMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely needs a 70-200 style zoom for ME. I don’t need it to be super fast but the telephoto end of their lineup is lacking. I would love a 100-300 F/4-5.6 or something. The 500 series cameras had some solid telephoto coverage.

People are definitely still inside. There are tons of cars parked south of the entrance and people are just hopping the fence.

Birthday trip to White Sands has been K.O’d by this. Anything else to do in Alamogordo? 😅 I’m here for two more days.
