    Hasselblad X2D + 75P Bundle Promotion

    Hasselblad today began a promotional bundle with the X2D and the excellent 75P lens for $9,099. This shaves $1,399 off the price of purchasing each separately. Clearly this signals an attempts to reduce X2D inventory ahead of the rumored X2D 100c II. If you need an X2D now and cannot wait...

    Which Hasselblad should I buy?

    I second this. And Capture Integration has a Try Before You Buy Program that allows you to apply the rental fees toward purchase. https://www.captureintegration.com/try-before-you-buy-rental-program/ At times? Which times were those, Matt? 😉 Steve Hendrix/CI

    Phocus Tiff Issue

    Yes, the main purpose of the article was to alert those who - for whatever reason - are mixing tiff and raw files, that the sluggishness they're encountering can be remedied by separating them, and avoiding viewing or working with full size tiffs in Phocus altogether. And there have been a fair...

    Phocus Tiff Issue

    This is a tech tip article concerning performance issues with Hasselblad's Phocus software, regarding tiff files (or any file type the size of a full size tiff file from an X2D, CFV 100, etc.) If you view tiff files in Phocus, or even if you have tiff files mixed in with raw files in Phocus...

    Can 907x 100C be synced directly to a studio strobe pack?

    Hard to say then. Certainly would make me nervous. Various digital backs have variable protection levels, and strobe generators have variable voltage output. At one point I had a chart of the voltage feedback levels from a wide variety of lights, but I have misplaced that. So ... nervous. But I...

    Can 907x 100C be synced directly to a studio strobe pack?

    Do the Comet lights not have a port for a trigger? That you could plug in a Pocket Wizard and then use a Pocket Wizard for the hot shoe on the 907x? Steve Hendrix/CI

    Hasselblad X2D 100C focus stacking tutorial using new focus bracketing feature

    Also, for those who wish to tether to Phocus when using Focus Stacking/Bracketing, below is a brief article I wrote several years ago describing that process. https://www.captureintegration.com/ci-quick-take-hasselblad-tethered-focus-stack-in-phocus-v3-6/ Steve Hendrix/CI

    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    Except Hasselblad has never been a substantial force in this niche to begin with. It has been primarily Phase One for many years. The discontinuation of Schneider had a larger impact, leaving only Rodenstock, and this business for Rodenstock is a tiny portion of their overall. And yet, they...

    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    Often when I am driving and other drivers are exasperrating me, I'll sigh and exclaim to my wife, People.... please drive with a purpose! :mad: In a related mindset, I like to think that technical cameras don't really force me to slow down, they enable me to be more intentional in my...

    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    I think the idea that technical shift cameras are a declining category has merit for discussion (the whys and why nots). But conflating the importance of this segment to Hasselblad's interest as a referendum on the segment itself is not an entirely accurate assessment. As an example, it is much...

    Beware of Scammers!

    Ah, ok, thank you, didn't think so, it came across like a rejoinder to my post, such is the nature of the written word. Yes, you're right, our name is kind of utilized as a badge of credibility. I suppose it could be, to some degree, but it definitely doesn't guarantee anything. Other than at...

    Beware of Scammers!

    My statement is regarding purchasing directly from CI. Surely you're not holding CI accountable for a scammer who says they bought it from CI? Steve Hendrix/CI
