The Hasselblad 907x and the new CFV II 50C Medium Format digital back are now out! Hasselblad were kind enough to loan me this system for a few weeks to shoot with – it is amazing. Specs are very similar to the Hasselblad X1D II, but there are two things that make this camera different. First are the ergonomics – this is very similar to the original Hasselblad designs from the 1950’s – early 2000’s, particularly the form factor of the SWC cameras. Secondly, it is modular so you can pair the back up and use it with any V-system Hasselblad such as the 500CM up to the 503CX. There is literally nothing else like this in any medium format system today. Fujifilm and Phase One make great cameras, but I think this is the most interesting product to hit the market this year. Its incredible.
The Slanted Lens:
Does Pixel Shifting really work? Can the Pixel Shifting on the Olympus E-M1 Mark 3 Micro Four Thirds or the Sony a7R4 Full Frame match a Fujifilm GFX 100 Medium Format? Does Pixel Shifting make them comparable? See how the Fujifilm GFX 100, the Sony a7R IV and the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III stack up in this camera comparison.
You can now preorder the new Meike 50mm f/1.2 lens at BHphoto.
And this is the lens tested on the Sony:
Camera Conspiracies writes:
It was never a very inspiring system to begin with. Designed to be as small and light as possible, means very slow lenses. Throw in the Canon Cripple Hammer, and the EOS M system never really took off. Is it worth buying into the system in 2020? Is there any potential in the Canon M50 mark II? Will they create a flagship camera for the system and develop faster glass?
Philip Bloom talks in deep about both cameras. He really loves the 8K quality of the Canon EOS-R5 and hopes some kind of miracle firmware update will improve the overheating limits.
