after a long internal debate between it and the leica s2.

so far i am real happy with my decision. what surprised the most was how balanced the camera was hand held. i was use to mamiya 645 af and contax 645 but this feels much better and more robust. the software on the win 7 64 not so good with crashes but i also got lightroom and works fine.

the files are to die for and i fell in love with the 28/4. i am going to order the 35-90 and the 100 next.


though i am a leica guy with m8 9 and dmr, i felt that the s2 has ways to go before it becomes a system. i have always been an early adapter but s2 did not sit well with me. specially when there r no lenses

Congratulations! :thumbs:

I think you are going to LOVE the H4D ... and no doubt the system is more mature than the S2 ... which your bank account will soon attest to :ROTFL: I wouldn't have even considered adding the S2 if I couldn't source at least the three lenses I am testing now.

RE: performance of Phocus. I think it is essential that you sort out those issues and not rely on Lightroom/Bridge as your only RAW processor. You will never see the full potential of that camera without gaining experience with Phocus.

I'm on a Mac so I can't suggest much, but I can tell you to pay specific attention to your Graphics Card. I'd contact your dealer or Hasselblad Tech Support and discuss your current computer specs as a first step.

I recently upgraded my Graphics Card and the difference was like night and day afterward. Faster and very stable.

All the best with your new camera:clap:

Photos please !!!!

Marc is absolutely right, using Phocus really brings out the best in the files. I also use Win7/Phocus and i haven't had any issues as of late. Do you have a decent video card? Apparently Phocus is rather heavily dependent on good ones with lots of VRAM.

The 35-90 and 100 are to die for. You'll really enjoy them. They are the staple of my stable.

PS: Dolce, hey i make due with the 31 too!

Get a H4D/50 MultiShot ... the trade value difference isn't much different than the 60 ... :D

Congratulations, it is a great camera. No problems with vignetting or cropping to worry about, as with the 60, but still loads of resolution to play with. I love mine.



H4D-50 120mm macro.

Congrats!

I am also happy with my H4D-60, i was using H3D2-39, and i am just a CAnon shooter in the past [and still], but the files out of those digiMF are incredibly huge and amazing.

Have fun and waiting your shots!
