Hi All. I don't have the opportunity to go and test this myself, so thought I would ask here.
I'm looking at the Hasselblad 907x with 45, 65 and 80mm lenses. I would use the 65mm and 80mm for portraiture. However, I can't work out how the camera would work in portrait orientation. I can clearly see how the camera would work, with the flipped out screen, in landscape. However do you need to move to the side of the camera when the sensor is in a vertical orientation? It feels awkward to me if you need to do this. I understand that you could simply leave the screen (without flipping it) and look at it from behind. However, I appreciate the ability to look down at the screen as it has a psychological impact on the subject if you are not directly looking in their direction.
Does anyone have thoughts on:
1) how practical this is?
2) is it an awkward process?
3) is there some way to look down at the screen as you compose a portrait?
Thanks in advance everyone.
