    @LapTop006@aus.social I frankly don’t understand the point of the XC. It’s only slightly smaller than the XT with the 23, but you can’t interchange the lenses and you get no movements (granted, not much movement is possible with the 23 anyway).

      @mattblaze@federate.social it’s smaller enough that it could fit in my normal day bag, and wideness solves the need for any shift

        @LapTop006@aus.social Yeah, but if you just get an XT and a 23mm, you get the ability to interchange lenses and use movements without much extra size. I guess someone is buying XCs, I just can’t figure out who it’s for.

          @mattblaze yeah, the portability is really the only justification. It’s a modern Hasselblad SWC, there is a market, but very small. I do expect I’ll end up buying one once I own an IQ4

            @LapTop006@aus.social annoyingly, they don’t seem to (currently) sell it without a back. If they did, and I didn’t already have a 23, I’d consider buying an XC sans back instead of a 23 in the XT/cambo mount.
