The AF is the feature that\'s holding me off on this camera. Contrast detect on a medium format sensor. I have a bad feeling about that. I\'ve also come to the conclusion that I\'m not looking to switch to a mini MF system. I can\'t give up the speed and usability of 35 FF. What I do want is a mini MF camera to augment my FF for specific function such as portraits or landscape. An RX1 type MF camera for about $5k or less is what I\'m really looking for. $14k for the Hassy kit will buy an A7R II, all three GM lenses, and a top of the line iMac 5K. I know which I\'d rather get for $14k. This is a great camera, and I will one day pick up a used one for < $5k, but as a new system, I\'ve decided it\'s not for me. I\'ll wait for Fuji or Sony to introduce an RX1 style MF camera.
Depending on what you shoot this system can either be the be all or the just not fast enough. For me how I look at the X1D is nothing really matters with AF per say , does not even have to have a meter , what it is for me would be a landscape machine and Travel for quality. There is just no way I can be without the Sony AF system. I would keep both GMs and maybe a Batis 18. Everything else on the block and get the Hassy the 3 lenses and a 24 H possibly.
I have to look at this as a two system setup. It can\'t do what I did before with a phase body and 5 lenses only. I still need that DSLR style or Sony mirror less like I have.
You kind of are in that same boat. We still need a fast AF system . Unless this thing is a rocket which I doubt very highly
