Hi there,

long-term lurker first-time poster here :)

My main cameras are a Fuji X-T3 and Nikon D700, but I have been shooting 6x6 and 6x9 film in parallel. Late last year, I finally purchased an old Hasselblad H3Dii-39. Didn't have the chance to do some 'serious' shooting with it yet, but so far I love this camera: its limitations that I have to work around and especially the files -I've never seen colors and contrast that look so natural out of the box :shocked:

Here are a few of my first images with the 'blad - nothing spectacular, but I like them

Hope everyone is safe during this coronavirus crisis. We are also staying indoors, due to the lockdown situation in our country, so I thought of doing some photography in our garden to while away the boredom. My daughter agreed to be the model in this picture. The camera used is PhaseOne DF+, Leaf Credo60, SK 150mm f3.5 LS. Lights used are Godox 600 and Elinchrom 2400

Quick comparisons between two medium format cameras and wide angle lenses.

The first image is the Fujifulm GFX100 with GF23. ISO 100 f/4, 1/550s. Second image is Hasselblad H3D-39 with HCD28. ISO 100 f/4, 1/500s. Both exposures set manually after metering with the built-in meters of the cameras by spot metering on the bright part of the leaves.

The tripod was not moved between shots.

I note that the Fujifilm GFX100 with GF23 coverage is wider than the Hasselblad combo. This is clear in the amount of retaining wall on the extreme right...quite a bit more is visible than on the H.

Colours a bit on the brighter side, more punchy than the H colours. But this is a jpeg image processed in-camera on the GFX. I know, I am lazy and originally intended to just compare the angle of view. And the H does not produce a jpeg in-camera, so is a quick process through Phocus into jpeg.

Image resolution is fabulous. At 100%, chairs in the balcony in the tall buildings (D'Leedon) in the background is clearly defined.

Note however, the edges of the balcony on photo extreme left and compare them.

In the Hasselblad image, the lines are very straight, even at the edges, see extreme left of the edges of the balcony. Colours from this old CCD sensor is spot on.

Even though there is a large mis-match between resolutions, the H3D has only 39 Mp, very little difference in details resolved. I also note that though smaller in pixel count, the H3D sensor is larger, measuring 48mm x 36mm vs the 44 x 33 of the GFX. Of course at 100% pixel peep the GFX100 images are much larger, and more detailed, but reduced the same size, hardly any difference.
