I’m in Colorado visiting family but also shooting the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM, which I did not cover to my satisfaction back in June. Doing some ad-hoc outdoors examples as well as some comparisons with other lenses.

I am told that the Hasselblad X2D 100C should arrive at B&H this Friday. If that holds, then maybe I get it Saturday or Monday, whereupon I will make the my focus.

Below, the Sigma FE 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art is a fabulous performer, but its AF is pretty crappy on the Sony A1, hunting when it should not. Maybe it needs a firmware update, which I cannot do on my Mac?
