Great review! I've seen several reviews of this Hassleblad, but yours, by far, is the most interesting, because you're comparing it to the other Hassleblad, not just the camera, but the lenses as well. It's a great way to see what the capabilities are. Kenneth's family are adorable!
Great review and great to hear your story about the dropped 40mm. The colours look fantastic in your images, and I find this to generally be the case with Hasselblad. I’ve used the 500CM for 15 years and looking forward to getting the 907X.
Nice Review! I bought a 2nd hand X1D, the XCD 45P, a used HC 50-110mm, & a used 500CF. I think of it as "Hasselblad on a Budget!" Great to see you using the the 500mm.
High winds, a sandy beach, camera gear, digital backs: what could go wrong?! I could easily opt for the older camera/dig back route, because to me....VERY similar results, and software will take care of that! LOVE that Hasselblad is allowing us to mix the old and new. You guys make a Great Team; very enjoyable delivery, and INFORMATIVE always.
Great review, it's interesting to how close the quality of the older lenses really are! Based on personal experience I'd say the old hasselblad Zeiss lenses are sharper than most modern lenses, which is really amazing. I'd love to have this for my 500c, but it's just too expensive. I could maybe save up for it, but I bet by the time I did, they'd have something better.
Great review! Yup, like you guys, I have both systems. The XCD 65mm looks like Hasselblad really tried to match the Zeiss standard 2.8 80mm that all the V-series cameras usually came with. The rest of the latest XCD lenses are so good in a modern sense, there is really no longer a comparison.
Thanks for the review, though it makes me wish I hadn’t bought the X1D II, as I could use the digital back together with my old hassy 500c and 500 elm. But still the X1D is by far the best camera I have owned
One thing you appreciate, after watching the photos side by side, are the new modern lenses. They are so much sharper. But the old ones does have that nice “vintage” look too. It is subjective. Anyway, love the new models (cute kids). JP, you should buy this since you have the old camera and all those lenses. Hasselblad should offer to sell just the BACK. Thanks.
Great review and comparison. Like that 907 but for me 500C all day lang ;-) call me nostalgic hehehe I would have loved a comparison between the 907X and a use H5D-50C (must be C) cause they come used in that price range now, just for the sake of output comparison. Thanks for sharing.
Great review/comparison guys! Im a HUGE Hassy fan. Have you shot the 907X in studio at all w/strobes? and do you know if you can use a transmitter via PC cord or?
Hasselblad includes a focus screen mask in the box, so you can see the sensor crop when using the back on your 500 series camera. You can also buy a dedicated focus screen with crop marks and split prism, so accurate focus becomes much easier to achieve. Agree your sentiments about colour and dynamic range. Image quality is superb and outweighs any concerns about speed, etc.
@@kennethcmerrill I turn my back to the wind, have the camera pointed downward so gravity is taking dirt away from sensor, have the new lens close by, and swap with minimal gap. AND I still would get dirt inside my 5Dm2! Haha
Nice review! I am saving now for the X1D II......or is it going to be this one? I already have the 45/4 P, 2 batteries and 2 256 GB SD cards....so still time to choose...!
Please keep showing content on this camera! There aren't a lot of reviews on RUclips! Can you possibly show the settings of the camera and how the UI works? Do you think the slow AF is a killer for this camera or can you get buy and are we just spoilt with eye AF systems...thanks!
We had to ship it back shortly after we shot this, unfortunately, but we're both eager to get one in our hands again! We'll see what we can do. As for the autofocus, that's for you to determine, of course ;). Personally I would wrestle with the AF for the sake of the amazing colors and tones the camera renders, but I'm also very used to manual focus, coming from cinema and rangefinder world. So I know that if worse comes to worse, I could just manually focus. If you go shoot with a Pentax 645 or Contax 645 film camera, that might give you an idea of how the AF performs. It felt similar to that.
I don't know if that's a sensor issue or the fact that it's just so big. We did find ourselves blowing off the sensor occasionally, but I wouldn't say it was any more than what would happen with a Sony Alpha body. I think most cameras that don't have a closed shutter when the lens is off (God bless Canon for implementing that) will require "checking the gate" frequently.
Kenneth Merrill Totally agreed. I had to inspect the sensor every time I took off the lens. Otherwise, I could be in for a disappointment. The good news is, Hasselblad lenses are so expensive, I don’t have that problem very often.
40 years old lens - the Zeiss Planar was designed by Dr. Paul Rudolph in 1896. It suffered from glare with 6 elements. In the 1930s, Mr. Makula at Zeiss invented the T coating and this made the Planar suitable for the Hasselblad V system in the 1950s to start with. Later, the T coating was improved and called T*.
@@TheSlantedLens i know, thats what i meant, 67% larger area(!) is nothing. Fullframe is twice the area of DX, thats a difference where i understand people going fullframe vs DX. But the hasselblads sensor is only 7mm bigger than fullframe, thats nothing compared to even the small 645 medium format, let alone a 6x6 hasselblad which is 3,6 times bigger than fullframe thats 360% ! I mean each to their own, but i cant see the benefit of this. Not even if you alread own a hasselblad.
The actual frame area of 6x6 is more like 56mmx56mm to the extreme edge of the frame and actually varies a bit depending on camera/back/etc... in my testing of my 500 series cameras you can actually frame a bit less in the finder (the 56mm is a bit wider than what you see on the focus screen so it's more like 53-55, very hard to tell). Most of the time you crop 6x6 to somewhere near 6x4.5 for commercial use which is actually more like 56mm best case on the. long edge. Practically you probably go in a bit for 1mm reasons (tiny straiten, the fact you framed a bit tighter based on the VF etc etc) The actual size of the sensor is 44mmx33mm tells you a bit more, so does the "normal lens" which is 65mm vs 80mm on 6x6 = not that much different. Also if you LOVE square pictures like I do then cropping square = 33x33 and you loose far less resolution than cropping 24x36 "full frame". In practicality is is MUCH bigger given most verticals are cropped 4:3/6x4.5-ish from 3:2 35mm images. (kind of why the 24x70 is so popular for portrait and fashion shooters = the long end seems longer when you are not using the 3:2 aspect ratio for 99% of you pics).
Nice video, I loved using my Hasselblad’s but the digital back price is way over the top, I can get the job done now with my Canon camera’s. SLR has come a long way from the days of film! To day I don’t meet a client that knows anything about the camera you use!
I understand from other reviewers that there is no live histogram, only static after you've captured an image? For $6400, you would think that would be included?
Robert Grenader maybe old school manufactures like hasselblad and leica are trying to encourage you to develop your skills and not just rely on technology all the time for every aspect of your photography process .. this back is aimed at film shooters who have No histogram to work with under traditional methods ..
I would buy this (assuming that I had 10k laying around) over anything Leica not because there's anything wrong with Leica, but rather how much more interesting the Hasselblad is in usage especially if the back works with 500 c/m bodies. Because sometimes you want to use film rather than digital.
By the looks of things, shots taken with the 500CM seemed a bit sharper with better color, and you were using a very old lens that isn't even a T*, i feel the results would have been even better with a more modern lens such as a CFI.
Nope but... you can buy the older version used aka CFV-50c but it's NOWHERE near as nice as this and believe it or not on eBay they go for north of $5000 right now. In fact most go for MORE than the current, FAR BETTER combo.
Hi.i see, i said , every new version of cameras , do have nice , outfit' s designed .good pictures , good video's ...can be super in colors .great in b and w ....
Old medium format lenses did not giver high res. It was the larger neg that did that as you did not have to enlarge the image as much. MF lenses actually resolved less than 35mm lenses.
Would help if you had a lens hood! So much nonsense talked about lens suitability with digital sensors, as can be seen there is little difference and what there is can be done in post production.
@@TheSlantedLens The sensor exits in Fujifilm, so it could be easy to make, maybe they wait for an updated sensor !? By the way, do you not have any CF/CFE/CFi Hasselblad lenses, coating are much better on the newer Hasselblad lenses ;)
You can not compare unless you actually say what lenses you use. I see that you mentioned it below in the comments but you don’t in the video and thus it is sort of misleading. There isn’t just one 40 mm V lens. There are really old ones and even a newer one made for digital backs
Not a single mention of Fuji gfx100 for basically the same cash as the hassy back plus a lens? Gfx 100s even cheaper. Double the pixel count and infinitely more practical. Love the hassy but up against Fuji's offerings in the MF arena, its toast.
It is an expensive digital back with an adapter. Calling this a camera makes the offer a bit more reasonable but it still does not operate like a real camera. It’s just a back and overpriced. There are many other backs that fit the 500 and don’t break the bank. This is for people who want this for its look. Nice looking gimmick.
and....you are wrong!!!! 1 It is not overpriced. Tell me a 50mpx back which has a tilting screen, Wifi and fires the shutter of a Hass lens for less AND fits the XCD range?. Exactly there isn't one. And why not have one which is aesthetically pleasing? You are just coming across as salty for no real reason.
Cameras aren’t just about specs. Actually very little about specs. I’ve had super fast Nikons, used the Canons. I always come back to manual focus and my 500CM. You’re making a mistake going by specs. Use something that inspires you, gives you good ideas, makes you shoot. Worth more than anything that the camera can do

Hi guys. Nice review. I've heard that the X1D II 50C sensor attracts dust more readily that other cameras. What was your expeieince with the 907X 50C?

It wasn't any different than any other sensor.
Which generation film lens was this c,ct, cfe ,cfi ? Many thanks
The 120mm and 40mm are CF Lenses. The 80mm is from 1973 or earlier. I bought it used. The number has an NR preceding it.
Just love it - from a Hasselblad fanboy

Thanks for the history lesson. It is interesting to hear about.
The Hasselblad technicians will tell you that the T coating was a marketing tool, there was little difference if no difference.
What about using the film back on the 907x? :-)
That would be nice. But it doesn't work with the film backs.
Do you use the 500Cm with film or the 50c-II???
We use the 500 CM with film.
