    Hasselblad XCD 28P

    Hasselblad has been very explicit in its marketing that this is a "street photography" lens so my expectations haven't been very high. I wouldn't expect it to be as sharp in the corners or have the same amount of distortion correction as the 'twice-as-expensive' 30mm XCD lens but I am...

    Hasselblad XCD 28P

    That's a pity about the magenta cast. I was rather hoping that the new 28P might be a good match for my needs but, as a 907x user, I think I will stick with the 21 that I have and perhaps look again at the 30 that I had been considering until the recent announcement. Maybe a firmware update can...

    Fun with the Hasselblad 907x

    I really like the waist level type framing view. For me, that's the USP of the 907x otherwise I'd probably have bought the X1D II (the latter being slightly cheaper). It might sound slightly odd but I bought the 907x to take the place of my iPhone for certain photographs. I'm mostly a film...

    Fun with the Hasselblad 907x

    The 907X and 45P are ideal for casual handheld landscape. Here's a few taken in this manner.

    Hasselblad discontinues the H?

    Why's that? I can see that it would be nice to have the IBIS of the X2D when shooting handheld but the CFV back works very well for tripod based applications. I might be missing something but what would be a compromise having a 100MP sensor in the back?

    Is Hasselblad massively reorganising their distribution channels?

    Digital Distribution is the local distributor for Hasselblad in the UK. There are a number of retailers in the UK which still stock Hasselblad. Off the top of my head there's The Pro Centre, Wex, Linhof Studio, Robert White, Clifton Cameras, Campkins Cameras, Bass & Bligh, Wilkinson's, Park...

    Hasselblad discontinues the H?

    I'm not sure taking the 907x out of the package is likely to reduce very much the cost of the back. I get the impression it's almost thrown in for free with the intention of getting people to buy the XCD lenses instead of just using the back with already owned V and third-party lenses.

    Hasselblad discontinues the H?

    Actually I didn't say the H system was high end and the X system wasn't but I can see why you might have inferred that. I said that Hasselblad no longer provides a complete system for the professional photographer using what I referred to as high end kit. By that, I simply meant the old school...

    Hasselblad discontinues the H?

    I was referring to high end equipment. Is that not pretty obvious what it means? (Yes, I know that any piece of photographic equipment can be used for professional purposes – and often is – but you know what kind of equipment I am referring to.)

    Hasselblad discontinues the H?

    Yes, I know about the back (it is the product I own) but it doesn't change my point that, with the discontinuation of the H products, Hasselblad no longer sells a system wide solution for traditional professional photographers working in a studio or on location with high end kit. For decades the...

    Hasselblad discontinues the H?

    Leaving aside all the points made about the changing marketplace, etc (which are all valid), I think Hasselblad discontinuing the H line is nonetheless a big moment in its history as it marks the point where the company is essentially exiting the market serving the high-end professional...

    New "large" medium format sensor on the horizon?

    Are you suggesting that Hasselblad are selling only 500 units of the CFV-50C II back? (Maybe I misunderstand you). I find that hard to believe.

    New "large" medium format sensor on the horizon?

    There might be more to it than that. Possibly teething problems with the 100MP sensor in the CFV back hardware – perhaps too much heat (my CFV-50c II gets quite hot when I use it in some circumstances)? Or it might just be that Hasselblad still see good demand for the 50MP back that they feel...
