I was curious about Foca's. So I got the PF1, PF2, and PF3. Lol.

Good point. I didn't think about that way...

I wanted to know if this is a big deal basically. It's the cheapest gfx 50 that I've seen. And it looks like new otherwise. It came with box and the standard kit. I got it to try out medium format. I'll probably keep it. It's fun to shoot.
I have a few Fuji's. An old X-pro1 that has held up really well. Superior build quality there. The XT-30 is pretty good as well. I got an X-T4 that has great image quality, but the build feels flimsy. A bit underwhelming compared to the XT-30.

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum for my issue.
I just picked up a GFX 50s. I got a decent deal on it (€1500) and it's in good condition.
However it has at least two dead pixels. I did a bit of research and it seems this is not uncommon.
For comparison my Pentax K3ii developed one dead pixel after about 5 years of frequent use and after I used it for filming. I'm a bit disappointed with Fuji quality. I tried pixel mapping and the issue persists.
Is this the price you pay when using digital medium format? Or should I send it back and get something else?
What would you do?

I found a 50/2.8 as well. Check out the picture.
It worked! Thanks a lot! I managed to open the shutter on a black copy as well. And stop down the aperture on a sonnar 150mm that I thought was stuck wide open.
I'm shooting digital so the adapter doesn't interfere.

Greetings friends!
I recently picked up some old Hasselblad V lenses to try out on my K1.
I got the distagon 40mm f4 (heavy!). The 50mm 2.8. And the distagon 50mm f4 silver version.
Now to my question: I can't get the aperture on the 50mm f4 to open. The other lenses work fine though.
Is my lens broken? Does the aperture only work if the lens is mounted on a camera? Is there a lever that I'm supposed to move?
Has anyone else had the bright idea to try these with an adapter?

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Rodenstock Eurygon 30mm 2.8 which was advertised as being on an exakta mount. However the lens seems to have had a mount conversion and I can't figure out which mount this is. It looks a bit like a Minolta MD but it's smaller in diameter. It has three locking tabs and is about 42.5-43 mm. Has anyone seen this mount before?

I had a similar incident. I was recording a video when my battery died. The video was lost. I tried several different recovery programs including recuva and testdisk but it didn't work. I found older pictures and videos that had been lost but none from that day.
It might have been because I swapped battery immediately afterwards and started recording a new video.

Hello
I'm a terrible photographer but I love pancolars. I shoot a K3ii and my MX-1. I'm an expat in Poland and a SAHM, I mostly take pictures of my kids.
