    Phase one body and back suggestion for products/portraits

    I have the old HC 4/120 Macro. Btw, Hasselblad says this lens is not compatible with the HTS. regarding shutter actuation count, I don’t know what is a good number. i would say, get as low as possible, but condition of the glass is more important.

    Phase one body and back suggestion for products/portraits

    Ah I was under the impression that you already own H lenses. That was my case. But if you didn’t, I would think there are other options. Mamiya lenses work well. As do Pentax, with their respective adapters (non Fuji). And these are inexpensive. I haven’t used the Canon TS-E, but I understand...

    Phase one body and back suggestion for products/portraits

    My 2 cents. I think both your new alternatives are very good options. Personally, I would prefer the GFX route. More modern connectivity as well as a lighter kit than H5D/H6D. The H5D-50C has the same sensor as the GFX50 cameras. I have done something similar adapting my H lenses to the GFX. I...

    Fun with MF images 2024

    this was the relaxing part of the trip. The mad rush was the week prior during Watches &;Wonders where I wrote 27 Live Reports and with a colleague put out 250 video clips on the new watches released. And yes. I was at Arca Swiss. But they don’t allow visits in the manufacturing floor. I will...

    Fun with MF images 2024

    Maison Lameloise, a three Michelin starred restaurant in Chagny, Bourgogne, France. We walked in on a Sunday lunchtime without a reservation, and as expected, there were no tables. But they offered to seat us for the following day for lunch. We initially accepted, but had to cancel as our travel...

    The great tripod & head thread!

    I wonder if anyone is using a video style tripod, like the Sachtler Flowtec 75 or 100?
