I am an old Hasselblad amateur photographer and have the medium format cameras H6D-100c and X2D-100c.
I went to a wonderful photography workshop in Northern Norway with two photographers I really appreciate, Joe Cornish from the UK and Trym Ivar Bergsmo from Norway. This workshop sparked my interest in medium format photography with technical cameras for landscape photography. I like to compose a landscape shot in peace and quiet. At the same time, I also like a certain comfort and an integrated solution without constant colour cast correction exposures und several connection cables. I also like driving my BMW with an automatic gearbox and not a manual gearbox.
But which camera system suits me as a landscape photographer who doesn't need extreme adjustments like in product photography? I therefore find the Phase One XT to be a very good integrated solution, even if the shift displacement of +/- 12mm is not very large. And an IQ4 150 is not exactly cheap. I also hear that there will be an IQ5 200 with a new Phase One XT with bigger adjustments larger than 12mm next year. The new X-shutter lenses with tilt functionality maybe are a good solution.
But there are of course other marvellous cameras such as Linhof, Alpa, Arca and Cambo, which can be combined with Phase One and Hasselblad backs. Is frame averaging and double exposure from Phase One absolute necessary for a landscape photographer? Do I need this? I don't know. With the new Hasselblad CFV-100c and the smaller sensor of 33x44mm you have more shift with a same Rodenstock lens due to the smaller sensor size. For me it seems a little bit complicate.
I would be very pleased to hear some advice and opinions from you. Thank you very much!
