The GetDPI Photography Forum

Up for sale is a Schneider Kreuznach 150mm LS f/3.5 lens for Phase One 645DF or XF cameras. I bought this lens off of this forum a couple of years ago for cheap because it wasn't autofocusing. I had it repaired through Samy's Camera (they sent it to Japan) back in the summer of 2024 (it cost over $700 to repair). I have used it sparingly since. The glass is clean and has no scra...

I have shown the Hasselblad X2D II and also the Hasselblad XCD 35-100E many times on the channel and most of the time I also included lots of sample images from all kinds of shooting situations. But I never p...
