just got back from the very cool northwest, suppose to be 103 today where i live. will be working on pics soon. but i had a little time today so i shot my granddaughters doll with the h3dll-22 with standard 80mm lens and with my nikon d850 with zeiss otus 85mm lens. the nikon with the otus lens is very sharp, considerable more than the hasselblad but 1) the transition of tonalities in the face is so much better with the hasselblad and 2) its not just me but everyone in the home that can speak agrees that the hasselblad image has a definite 3D look. while the nikon is sharper it is also flat looking. converting it to my b&w workflow it is no contest, the hasselblad wins. i bought the hasselblad for black and white work only but the 3D look of the hasselblad is so much better than the nikon. i would like to shoot with an older ccd 50 mp back such as the h4d-50 for its ability to print larger which i like to do and see if the 3D look is the same.
