Re: Another Is medium format worth it " article
I will love that they replace the current line with Nittoh build ones. It does not make sense to continue with Fuji
now that they are competitors. The X1D lenses are top notch, above, arguibly to the mithy Phase One glass (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD3An09hmjU&ab_channel=KjellPost ).
I hope Ming Thein presuate them of this (maybe, if Hasselblad is coming with a 54x 40mm mirrorless the point wil be moot.
Best regards,
I agree with you, I also want to stree that Hasselblad needs to have some new lenses for the H system.Hi,
You want a professional review, read this one: https://www.dpreview.com/opinion/2341704755/thinking-about-buying-medium-format-read-this-first
What I would say about the "Sonder Creative" stuff is that:
- The camera does not work for him. That could be workflow related, camera related or just not reading the fine manuals.
- He does the mistake to compare sharpness at actual pixels, that ignores the fact that the camera has twice the pixels.
- It is pretty clear that Canon makes some very good lenses. The Hasselblad lens has pronounced axial chroma, seen as out of focus green fringing.
On some issues he is probably right, some things may be disputable and some are probably wrong. He didn't mention true focus. The 399 focusing points the a7RII has is a real world advantage, for accurate focus.
I would be a bit skeptical about shadow recovery being worse on the 100MP back as it is known to have excellent DR, but DR has two ends, to discuss shadow recovery we need to discuss the highlights part of the exposure.
Best regards
