Now Fuji go medium format

[Hamster]

As a bit of an update, I also had a play with the Hasselblad X1D.

I couldn't find what I wanted nearly as quickly in the menu driven format. That's OK, I'd work it out after I RTFM'd
Images, check. Nice. Fuji and Hassy just as good as each other.

The big problem for me was the way it handled. First, let me say it looks pretty, much more modern and more of a design statement than the Fuji. I like it's style, but it just didn't feel nice in my hands. It was too small for my hands and my right hand and index finger quickly began to ache as I used the wheel at the front to scroll through things. I had to contort my hand too much to operate the buttons, so that rules it out for me.

I was hoping to have a play around with the GFX at the Fuji session last night, but I did my ankle in earlier in the week which screwed that up.

Bummer. I hope it heals up soon.
