Hey Guys,
I've read, and confirmed with the author of an online subscription site for camera and lens reviews that H4D HC lens( HCD 28/4 & HC 100mm f/2.2) suffers from softness especially on 50MP or above. And that the HC lenses are not up to the task of the big sensors being shoved into the H-series bodies. In the tests he needed to stop down on the 100/2.2 to f/8 before you see acceptable sharpness. Can anyone else add to this and confirm his findings?
Going as far as saying the HC 120/4 at f/8 is outperformed by the Leica 120/2.5 wide open! So really, are the Hasselblad lenses under performing that much?.
The marketing of the Hasselblad otherwise has me quite sold, although the Leica S2 looks good on paper too, and IQ series is a winner for landscapes (at least that the idea drilled into me more recently, you know who you guys are).
Thanks
Po
