Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $4400.00 from Robert White

Summary:

Generous movements for field camera, Rodenstock lenses, Hasselblad build quality and I get to use my A12 backs? This is a no brainer! I share film backs with my 2000FCW and have lightened my load over 5LBS from my Linhof Super Tech IV setup. Far quicker setup and with the price I got for Linhof, I bought this gorgeous camera. No more loading of Super Rollex backs, that's worth it alone!

Strengths:

Super lightweight, compact field camera that perfectly integrates with balance of Hasselblad SLR lineup.

Weaknesses:

Expensive, particularly for non Hassy owners. Not a hand holdable camera.

Similar Products Used:

Linhof Super Technika IV, Wisner Pocket Expedition 45, Horseman VHR, Silvestri T30

Customer Service:

Robert White is hands down THE BEST! Its Hasselblad which means its nearly bullet proof for 1st 1000+ rolls

Review 2 of 2

Summary:

bacause of the fact that I make a lot of architecture photos (buildings in- and outside) I bougt this camera. One can shift just enough. I bougt the body with the 35mm and 75mm lens. 35 I use most. and the 75mm I can use if I have to make a picture of a product, so I can tilt the body.

Strengths:

shift and tilt within a system I already
use. very compact and lightweighted.

Weaknesses:

to shift and get more of "the ground" in your photo you have to turn the camera upside down.

Similar Products Used:

normal technical camera. too heavy too big to take with you on location.
