Fun with the Hasselblad 907x

One 907x image from yesterday . XCD30 mm

One from a few weeks back in the ravines outside of Toronto Canada. (Attaching photos here absolutely destroys image quality and sharpness. Does anyone know what the largest file size permitted is?)

This one was taken around the same time as the image above, down on Lake Ontario. I believe I used the x-Pan crop in camera.

A couple from the Lake District last month. Both with 45P lens.

Great Langdale.

Giving this thread a bump to keep the inspiration flowing. Anyone shooting on a 907x these days?

I am, but I post in the medium format thread.

I'm aware of that ... I had the opportunity to try my CFVII 50c on my friend's SWC a couple of weekends ago. I didn't find it to be that difficult to see through the viewfinder, it worked pretty well.

I snapped a photos of him with the SWC and he snapped a few photos of me. They were on his memory card, so he sent me the exposures.

The CFVII 50c performs well on the SWC, but after all is said an done, with the 33x44 format, the fabulous super wide Biogon 38mm isn't that much wider than the XCD 45P and they perform about on par. It is fun to see that even the SWC works so nicely with the CFVII 50c.

wish there were more samples of the 907x w/ the swc

Really enjoying the 907x + 45p
I am kind of torn on next purchase.. 28p, 38V, 55V? Or go for fun and a 500 series or 903swc and go to digital back mode.. decisions decisions
Interestingly the 38V prices similarly to a 903swc lately

Some recent spring stuff!

Nice photos!

I had a very nice SWC/M ... I sold it to help buy the 907x plus lenses. IMO, if you already have the 45P or 38V lens, there's little point to buying an SWC because the smaller format cuts the FoV down too much for the SWC to show the Biogon 38mm lens's magic. You need a 21-22mm lens to approach the same imaging character on the CFV back's sensor format, and the Biogon 38mm is not the best lens design for digital capture (again, IMO). I figured that if I was going to keep the SWC, I'd be using it on 6x6 film where it shines.

Good luck whatever you decide upon.

I also had an SWC that I purchased new in 1998 and rarely used. I shot it occasionally years ago with a P45 and the files were somewhat disappointing even at that resolution. Sold it with no regrets as there are better wide options these days.

thanks all
Probably 28p or 38v next ..

Take a look at the 30 - it really is a strong lens, sharp to edges, although a bit larger than the others you are looking at.

I happened upon a used 28p (as I suspected would happen with the 25v release) so will see how I like it when it arrives later this week!
