Hi
As you can see, I'm new to the forum and also new to the MFD world.
Never had a MFD in my hands, downloaded some of the pretty rare RAW's, compared them to my FF-DSLR Files and came to the conclusion that it's worth investing some more time reading about MFD. I also downloaded some user guides from Hasselblad, which for me as a newbie, had plenty of information that cleared things up... a bit at least. Anyhow, two questions for you guys using a Hasselblad H4D!
The H4D 50 seems to be quite a nice Camera for my style of shooting.
Larger Sensor than the 40, which will be nice for the wideangles, and Longexposures of up to 128 seconds, which isn't as good as the 40's 256 seconds, but it should work out just fine if the Files are useable.
I'm Photographing exterior Architecture...
Tripod, Base-ISO (100), closed down Aperture with shutterspeeds ranging from around 1 second up to about 60 seconds. So with a base ISO of 50 on the H4D 50 I'll be straight up there at the max of 128 seconds. I can't find any RAW's or crops of shots with such shutterspeeds on the net, at least not in the past two weeks I'm reading about MFD. So, no clue how a 128 second exposure of an H4D 50 looks like. I've found a Landscape shooter that uses his H4D 40 quite often for 256 second shots, but there are no high res files available, and I have no idea if the sensor in the 40 is by any means compareable to that one in the 50.
I used Exposure Bracketing a lot with my DSLR...
The H4D's do up to 9 Frames of bracketed exposures, no word about limitations in the user guide. It seems like bracketing works in the auto exposure modes as well as in full manual mode? Does it allow me to set the exposure for the Shadows or Highlights for a Bracketing Sequence, or do I always have to set the Middle Exposure of the Sequence? Are there any limitations to shutterspeeds when bracketing, or does it work over the full range from 1/800 to 128 seconds?
Well, I told you I never had one in my Hands!
Any comments much appreciated!
Mike
