My lens of choice on my Hasselblad’s has always been 150mm is made a lot of my images published get around the world, I had one of the camera’s drop into a lagoon in Hawaii and I still use that camera today it’s a total workhorse! The camera of a professional photographer!
About history, I think it's important to clarify that Victor Hasselblad himself i s quoted and recorded (the interview is available on TH-cam) saying that NASA-Hasselblad collaboration was not a commercial deal of any kind. NASA never chose any camera, the austronauts were free to choose (given weight and encumbrance limits, of course), and Hasselblad only found out about their cameras being in space after mission was completed.
The 907 is the most beautiful body out there right now, BUT the available lenses for it really do not match the perfect design. They should look rest too, maybe with aperture ring, proper real focus ring...
I brought an XI DII 10 month ago. I habe a lot of lenses originally for the 500CM. They all work perfectly with the XI DII The only thing is, that you have to work with a tripod because the scantime for the sensor is 300/1000 sec. If you move, if the model moves, no chance to get a really sharp picture. So, you have to invest in "modern" lenses, created for the digital body. If you came to that point, it is a very short step to the 907. I am owner of a SWC too, and i am sure it will match perfectly.
An hour is too long for me and I do not need a background , or such “filling” of time . I have two models of Hasselblad and thinking of upgrading so all I want is what this was supposed to be about - a comparison and evaluation of the two models . These two cameras !
Many thanks for a clear, fairly concise explanation for a guy with a 500 EL/M, 503 CW, and 903SWC and variety of Zeiss CF… lenses. Only negative (other than the price and reduction from 6cm square imager) appears to be the requirement to abandon the CF lens’ shutters, mandatory need to go to the electronic shutter. Any chance someday we will see a square, full 2-1/4” imager? I had to ask!
@@olafvandekuijt4444 The 907x has a standard ¼ inch tripod socket on the bottom plate. If the user attaches the optional Control Grip the grip also has a standard ¼ inch socket.If the user has an Arca swiss style tripod head they can also use the X system quick plate accessory ( option) that screws into the camera tripod socket. It will then slide in to their AS head.
@@Campkins-cameras thanks for your reply. I have tried many plates without succes. The grip is too small for a good attachment to a plate, it will rotate. The Manfrotto 410 plate has the best result sofar
For a photog with 500 EL/M, 503 CW, and 903 SWC and a variety of Zeiss CF… lenses, the 907 is quite welcome! However, I was disappointed to learn that the CF lenses must abandon their copal shutters and are forced to use the electronic shutter. The detractors are that, the price, and the imager, which obviously would be more welcomed with a 6cm square sensor!
Very helpful thank you. Especially 56:18 until the full XCD line has launched.

Thank-you Mark and Chris! Hasselblad still providing quality!
Very helpful. Digital back for my 500 CM. Can’t wait!
