That’s a good question! I think it’s because I really wanted to get into the Leica system and it would’ve been a lot more money if I had not sold it. But I truly regret that, not that Leica is bad I loved Leica, but I really love this camera and the files that it produces.
@TheJalbertstudios I get that, I had the original Nikon Z6 and then bought my first Leica (M10R- I always dreamed of having a Leica rangefinder) and as a result sold the Z6 and went back to DSLR with the D850 because I missed the optical viewfinder and more tactile and mechanical nature of DSLRs after experiencing the rangefinder. I felt the itch for mirrorless again recently and thought about Leica/Hasselblad systems but ended up adding a Z9. The AF and video capabilities along with the outstanding Z lenses were just too compelling. Hope to see more videos from you with the Hasselblad! Merry Christmas!
Just got my first X2D, felt the same way.
Congratulations!! Enjoy! I’m enjoying mine!
What drove you to sell the first one?

I have 2 Z9’s and they are workhorses! I have the 135 and that’s my fave lens.
