Yes, yes, I get that. I don't need that because I chose not to make money with photography decades ago. I love the XCD 80mm f/1.9 because of its character. I see some of that in the XCD 135 as well. Yes, I had the Otus lenses for many years but don't need them these days. I still have loads of Nikon lenses and also use Large Format lenses on the Cambo Mini with the Hasselblad X2D Mark II. I love the color of the Hasselblad, and still have a lot of Nikon for a little more character. I would appreciate more character with the XCD lenses, but love the X2D Mark II.
