Some of you already know form other posts that I have been trying to make a decision on pining down my MF system for some upcoming projects and not just for them but to also make a final jump in to MF and yes, in the infamous Dante's Inferno, but I have done that 3 years ago with RED so I'm used to the heat already :ROTFL:
So as I search out which system to go with I look for Image Quality above all, secondly for their Lenses, which I guess is sure is part of the image quality, but considering that I will be hand holding the camera 90% of the time, the actual ergonomics and over all fill to me is very important, so a demo on hand of each system is an absolute must.
Well David Grover, contacted me about Demoing the H4D, in turn Jeff Payne phoned me, and then Matthew Frary phoned me and came over my California place with some goodies :shocked:
The H4D system fills extremely well in my hands, the grip a bit sharp cut, but over all the camera fits very well in my hand, some one keeps saying about the plasticky look or fill, I find this far from the truth, this camera system is and fills like a piece of solid metal, and love the lenses, the 35-90 said to be so big, its actually smaller then my Canon 70-200 IS 2.8L II
The HTS1.5 system is definitely a piece of gear that makes you want to jump to Hasselblad, but I must consider all aspect of what I need including the Aspect Ratio I'm after , which is more desirable for me to have a 3:2 then a 4:3, but this is not really the make it or brake it kind of wish to have mostly.
This today was not for a Photo SHoot in Studio type off thing, I already know what to expect image quality wise form each system as I have been doing so much research and making calls and emails out to all my friends each which might have one or the other system, and each off course says that what they use is the best of them all, righteously so, that is why they chosed
This again was for me to have the camera on hand and fill the body and its lenses, and especially curious about the HTS1.5, so I just held the camera in my hand with various lenses, for the entire time that Matthew was over, so to get a good fill of when I would have the system in my hands for hours at the time.
So Thanks to David, Jeff and Matthew for making this happen, and look forward to continue my demos of the other system and make a decision, but this type if customer service is truly appreciated!!:thumbs::thumbs:
