    • agreed, I don't really know (have never tried) how much there is to gain from 1.4 to 1.2! Will be interesting to hear your thoughts on them!
    • 35mm f1.4 dg dn II plus the 85mm f1.4 dg dn ‘Used As New’ from MPB…except I also bought the MKI 35mm by mistake and have to send that back for a refund 🤦🏻‍♂️ They will get a run out this coming weekend at a 2 day job and then on a 3 day job the following weekend and then that’s me done until late next Spring. I did consider the f1.2 35 and the new 85 is due out any day, but bigger, heavier and when would I ever need f1.2 so nah.
    • So which two Sigma lenses did you get?
    • They do in some cases… I believe there is a 2 tier structure where some have been gifted and state so and others where it’s a long or short term loan. Hasselblad did announce a loan scheme back in 2025, but I can’t find evidence they went live with it in the EU or UK as I can’t find anything on their website? I might contact their UK people when I am next back…I won’t bother in France as it will involve jumping through too many hoops, if even possible. And that is a very good point and my 3 primary interests in this system are, or were…and might again one day, be: 1. One & done body & lens. No video on the Hassie so it fails in that regard but can do it for stills as long as I don’t crop too hard… 2. Ability to crop hard, but as you say, quality begins to diminish to the equivalent of 35mm FF quite quickly and then akin to that of shooting with APSC not so much further so… 3. Quality of files, especially colour. SOOC, I thought the Hassie files were ‘OK’ at best and I’m not seeing this amazing colour most of the testers are reporting and waaaaaay off how I want my files to be me up and was somewhat surprised that when I slapped my S1Rii developed preset on them, they looked sooooo much better. Or at least how I would like them to look so in other words, zero time saving on workflow. So all factors considered, I’m not seeing any benefit (to me) of shooting one of these things…but that could just be me and it does not stop me really really wanting one!
    • I do Brandon, exif data! All the examples I downloaded were shot on the 35-100 with various apertures, shutter speeds and ISO, but otherwise yes, you are correct and I don’t know if it was camera or user error that the focus is slightly off…and it could be either. I’d really need to try one myself but here in France, rental is available, but only in big cities and only if you pick up and return in person and the pricing is pretty steep. When I am next back in the UK, I might try and convince a camera store to let me pop my own card in their demo model and shoot for 5 minutes out in the street, leaving one of my kidneys as security. Yes, printing is no longer part of my workflow and I’ve long since stopped offering books & albums for all kinds of reasons, mostly financial and I can only presume clients don’t really print either. They almost certainly intend to but almost certainly do not. I however don’t pixel-peep so much, but enjoy working with the best files I can work with. The edit is as much a part of the process for me as the capture. Less so for video where I prefer the capture and not so much the edit, probably because unless I start shooting raw, those files are not nearly as malleable. I know 99% of what I produce is going to end up on-line or social media whether it be my own or my clients, but I still want to work with and put out the best quality even if it is never realised by anyone bit me. I’ll find out this weekend as they will be waiting for me the morning of my next wedding with the planner who took delivery of them as I am on the road…
