14 DAY TRIAL // Photographers who are not satisfied with the image quality of the "ordinary" H3DII-39 medium format DSLR can now go even higher with Hasselblad's latest multi-shot version of the aforementioned model.
As the company's press release informs, "the H3DII-39MS completely eliminates the need to interpolate images and enables both single- and multi-shot DSLR capability, giving photographers the ultimate in flexibility and moir?-free image quality."
The multi-shot process implies taking more shots of the same frame (especially useful for product photography), resulting in a final "interpolation-free" image.
But don't be fooled, aside from the multi-shot capability, it's the same H3DII. You get the new RAW converter; Ultra-Focus, which compensates for minute changes in the plane of focus resulting from changes in aperture; and DAC-Digital Auto Correction, which offers digital APO correction, digital distortion correction, and anti-vignetting to deliver for the first time full digital lens correction, when used with Hasselblad HC and HCD lenses.
The H3DII-39MS will not be film compatible, but, as with the H3D and H3DII product families, will offer photographers the ability to use the digital magazine, which contains the sensor unit and related technology, on a view camera via an adapter.
Moreover, the Swedish company has also announced the H2F, a simplified, film-only version of the H2 camera, which offers full compatibility with H System HV viewfinders, film magazines, and HC lenses, but loses the digital capabilities.
The H3DII-39MS will be available from January 2008 and the H2F from November 2007 worldwide through Hasselblad's national subsidiaries and channel partners with a retail price of ?33,500 for the H3DII-39MS, and ?2,100 for the H2F camera body and ?6,460 for the H2F camera kit, excluding tax.
As a quick reminder, Hasselblad recently announced the new H3DII lineup that builds upon the existing H3D medium format DSLR system. You can opt for the same 22-, 31- or 39-megapixel resolutions, but you get a large, bright 3" display, better ergonomics and improved image quality, at least that's what Hassy claims.
