Fun with the Hasselblad 907x

In the true spirit of "fun with", I received my kit yesterday (directly from Hasselblad) and was able to get outdoors (in the rain) this afternoon to test "proof of life".

Two "moon rocks", the CFV-II 50C/907X with the XCD 35-75mm zoom (forgive the iPhone snaps):

You know, the screen should slide on tracks up onto the top of the back. Maybe with a hood... :grin:

As you can see from the scene, the light was not bright and I was able to focus with no difficulty using the "flippy" rear LCD. I'll mount the CFV-II 50C back on the 503CW this weekend and see how that works. Happy so far. :D

Congrats Joe!

Unrelated to the 907, but how does the 35-75 do with the triobal and Novoflex legs? Still no ETA on my lens but I’m curious about stability with those legs

I realize this is not typical Get DPI photography but I am using the 907X for helping with my vision of photography.:D
I will leave the in-depth camera reviews to the more competent. I can say the 907X is the best user interface of any digital camera I have ever touched.

I applaud your originality.
I like abstract art, and photography that ventures in it.

Best to you,
Darr

Congratulations Joe- use it in good health. Looks like a great evolution of the CFV line of backs providing a lot of amenity for those who own/use XCD and V lenses.

Cheers

I have relented, I paid the deposit this morning. Sounds like I will have the only one n NZ. My wife isn't happy so I will have to sell some stuff to placate her.:p
I was reading your post about ordering the 907x, and you said your wife wasn’t happy so you will have to sell.....I immediately thought you would say that you were going to to have to sell your wife! After all, this is the Inferno.

D&A my usual ride is a SR-71 Blackbird but it has been in the hanger for some upgrades so I took out the Old F117 Nighthawk for a quick spin.
At 684 miles an hour I was worried about camera shake/motion blur but as you noticed NO PROBLEM:grin:

I can only assume with the blue sky showing through a small window slit with the black geometric shapes, that you took these "testing 123" images through the narrow window of a stealth bomber (as shown). :)

Hmm. How much room for groceries have ya got in that thing?

My ride ain't got much room for groceries either, but is a touch more leisurely about how I get places...

I don't have a bike, but if I ever get one, I want one like yours Godfrey, it looks so cool and the color and finish is beautiful!

Thank you! Just wait until you see it with the custom wheels I'm having built for it... They're gonna be so pretty! :D

Time for another photo:

I may be stuck at home due to the virus crisis ordinances now in place, but the Irish bears came out to celebrate ...

Happy St Paddy's Day! :D

This may be a silly question (intrigued X1D II owner here), but how do you shoot portrait-orientation shots on the 907x? Is there a "rotating back" setup like a Mamiya RB/RZ, or do you just awkwardly turn the whole thing and not flip up the screen?

No rotating back so it's the awkward turn AFAIK.
