I have a familiar choice to make as an investment for my photography business... Which system to purchaser as I decide to step into the MF systems available. I have done thorough research so here are my options, I appreciate all the responses and advice in advance!
I have demoed both systems and have quotes for both that are close enough for me to even be considering the comparison. (Getting a used P65+) If I decide to get a new P45+ it is only 1K less...
OPTION 1: Hasselblad H4D-40 with 80mm & 28mm Lenses.
PROS:
New Firmware upgrade is a PLUS. Makes the LCD High Res
New Promo allows me 50% off my second lens
True Focus
Wide Angle Lens that Accepts front mount filters (key to my landscapes)
TS Adapter in lineup (also great for Landscapes)
One battery for system
All Lenses LS. LS only Body. Less moving parts should be more reliable...
Superior Viewfinder
Optional Waist Level Viewfinder (bonus for Landscapes)
OPTION 2: Phase One 645DF with P65+ 80mm LS Schnieder & Phase One 28mm Lenses
PROS:
Full Frame Sensor (superior for landscapes)
20 More MP
Open System gives more options/allows for a backup Body
Options for more lenses (FP shutter lenses if desired)
Vertical Grip works with all my Profoto gear and allows new LS lenses to sync up to 1/1600
Trade in Program seems superior, may protect the investment better over time
Future Products (IQ series) seem superior to Hasselblad, makes me percieve PhaseOne as a better investment looking forward...
That is what I have in front of me. WHat does everyone think? What would you decide to do?[/COLOR]
