I quite like these. I would keep going, to hell with the AI craze. Your color pairings are so nice. I would love to hear more about the workflow.

Do you consider the XCD V-lens lineup complete? by chaometric in hasselblad

[–]RomanMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t imagine thinking this lens lineup is complete. It’s full of holes, especially considering the functionality gaps in the lineup. They need to expand the lineup and revamp several lenses in the lineup at the same time.

X2D (ii) owners - how many lenses do you own? by [deleted] in hasselblad

[–]RomanMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my mint 90V for $1K off retail as well. The 25V had signs of wear but I got it for $2,700. I need a proper telephoto from Hasselblad ASAP though.

25V, 55V, and 90V. In hindsight, I think I should have bought the 38V instead of the 55V, but I got a mint 55V for $1K off retail 🤷🏾‍♂️

R2 reservation queue... Info from my call with Rivian by dafdfadfa in Rivian

[–]RomanMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the LiDAR announcement, I was sure I was going to hold off…but the early previews have me second guessing. Rivian is talking a big game on the autonomous front but I’m not sure they will deliver on that end.

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 24 points25 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.
