Pros: Construction, reliability, absolute quality, versatility
Cons: It makes you fall in love so much that you don't potersene separate even in your sleep
Opinion: Well... what to say. Hasselblad, the absolute story, that pompous name, that philosophy; It takes you to see and raggionare like no other camera in the world can do. It is a world in its entirety. It is not a point and shoot machine and many consider it a purely study machine, even if in my opinion, it has no rivals in any field where it arises. Today use a 500cm-500c-501cm and so on is like going against everything you are accustomed to use; Because already only when you go to grip, look in the cockpit and realize that the image appears to mirror the reality, the first experiences creates much confusion (unless you work a useful, heavy and expensive pentaprism viewfinder), the Made of then having to focus that way, set aperture and shutter speeds and walk with the external meter (if you do not know how to read the light to the eye), it can be daunting and difficult, but once you hold the hand, everything comes automatic and sensational at the Same time. After removing the protective foil you are ready to "shoot" the photo. It is said to shoot because the "sound" of the Mirror that rises and the shutter that closes reminds more the shot of shotgun Cal 12 rather than a camera. Perhaps for this reason and also for the non-immediacy of use, its greatest limitation are the sport photography and the volatile fauna. For the rest I go back to say that it is a car that leads you to reason before you shoot. Today it is located at prices all in all accessible, only body and the classic planar 80mm f 2.8. If you want to do something for good, that is a serious and complete kit of several optics and accessories, well here is not a means for everyone. Another limit (maybe for the "big" so then it cancels) is the fact of having only 12 poses, provided not to weigh down with other reserve warehouses already loaded. Another limit that makes a camera challenging, after the costs of management, is the weight; Not so much as the camera alone, but of all the loot that normally you carry around, for example I always walk with two stores, one BeW and the other always with the color, 4 lenses, filters, various adapters and tripod, you get to drag a 5-year-old baby well-fed. But those who love and accept all this would never change it. At the top, viewed and considered the age of the projects. For those who have it today, there are digital stores that can modernize it and bring it to a level of use/fascination that today, at a distance of 75 years, still does not fear rivals. Always to consider the cost of the warehouse is not indifferent, for the cfv50 it takes €11,700, little bit less. What to say, a gem still today that will never fade that I prefer to any other machine today, so much that I have put the 5d MkIII into oblivion. Will it be the Hasselblad name? Will that celluloid has a indescribable charm? Will it be his form, which has been a source of imitation for various brands that have tried to be rivals but never even comparable to the Swedish cube? In short, it makes you fall in love so much that you leave your heart... and your wallet... |
