Hi from Switzerland,

I have been using Yashicmat 124G since the 80's and got a Mamiya and Bronica while lusting after a Hasselblad, which I finally got (2003FCW) and now have the 907x and will use the digital back on the V series as well as natively with XCD lenses.

Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,



and congratulations to the 907x!

Would love to see some images in the other sections with the XCD lenses.

Will do. The 45P is just a great carry round lens and the 90/3.2 looks good so far.

Plus I got the Fotodiox adaptor for Leica R to XCD and so far the 60 Macro and 90/2 cover the sensor but the 19mm vignettes strongly and cropped it is about full frame. I am now inclined to try Contax, Canon FD and Nikon G lenses. When I have some images I will post in the forum.

I am interested in the adapted lenses. I am awaiting the X2D and plan to adapt M lenses to it. The Techart autofocus looks great but I want to see it in use. Good luck with your gear!

I saw the Techart lenses autofocusing Leica M lenses on a Sony - eventhough it was impressive, it was slow.

For some reason, the manual focusing of the R lenses on the 907X with the red outlining was much easier to use than when doing this on the SL or M10.

Let's see the Techart adaptors, meanwhile I will get the M to XCD adaptor as I have many other mounts to M adaptors, and I also have the 75/1.4 and Nokton 50/1 to play with

Techart has a second version which is faster. And they have a version for M’s to X2D they are bringing out. This tells me that we are not the only people who see the X2D as a big market. Just send me mine.

That sounds really good. The more support from third parties, the bigger the success it will be
