I think the EVF is at 200% at max enlargement. That's why it's not sharp at full magnification. The M's are the same.

I remember we were talk about this in Panasonic S thread and I think it looks very similar to S1 at max zoom condition. I would way more prefer Leica let me select zoom ratio as Nikon did that single hit will bring 50%, 100% or 200% depend on your setting.
It workable but just not pleasing to view. The best implementation with SL2 is using M glass, turning back wheel will change zoom ratio. So natural. However, I can't do this with S or L glasses as wheel default to aperture or EC depend on your setting. Then back button in manual focus mode was set as AF on that the only way you decouple the shutter AF with Leica Camera.(another minor complain) So I can't use it for zoom, I have to reprogram another button for zoom. and one hit will bring you to 200% every time
you need turn back wheel under this condition to change zoom ratio.
It is a minor problem but still I think I should mention this as neg.

Alas, not down for high tripod use.now I remember my problem with it was not no flip LCD but how you shoot in portrait mode? Original Hassy was so nice designed with squire format.
At minimal, it should allow flip up in portrait mode. Anyway, I love its design and like the fact the back can be put on 500 series as well.
Off topic.Also off topic but that's my biggest gripe with the camera.. You cannot shoot portrait mode.
The camera looks cool (I want to buy the MOON EDITION) but it's stupidly designed without a larger square sensor it just misses the mark. I think the Leaf backs or Hy6 cameras or something had a rotating back, too bad Hasselblad couldn't figure out internal rotating sensor.
Though I also won't buy Hasselblad again due to the fact that they treated me very poorly on after sales support.Easiest way is the camera having a square design with LCD flip both way. This camera is so beautiful and seems very small. Too bad designer didn't think of this fundermental issue in real world.I think the whole company is just filled with a bunch of designer type guys sitting around sketching things out with a pencil and paper. Then they just hand off the design to someone and later assemble the parts so they can say "made in Sweden"
Haha, I have no experience with modern Hassy. I love the 500CM I had. I like their design look. My impression mostly come from Leica S users in LUF which they seems all have some negativity when talking about Hassy X1Dx.

Hahaha both my medium format camera systems are flawed (S-System, XCD-System). Maybe I should've stuck with GFX instead of buying it and selling it a week later. Would have saved me a lot of $$ in the long run with the losses I took on the S/XCD I could have had a nice GFX kit.

Yep. They both are. And I've nearly pushed the button on the GFX many times. I know it makes sense but every time I pick one up I decide "not right now". As a camera slut that happens so rarely, I know it's a sign.

p.s. don't ask me about the very black little camera I might have picked up from the red dot dealer today. Although I think it's faulty. I can't seem to find a white balance setting.
