I wish they would bring back the SLR V system - compatible with digital backs and older film backs. Brand new camera bodies from Hasselblad would really be something.

If you attach it to a (for example) 500cm you can still get the awesome mirror slap and barn door sound. Best of both worlds...

when you attach it to a 500cm you’re supposed to use the mirror lock up. Or else how would you expect it to use any shutter speed faster than 500th of a second. Exactly. You wouldn’t be able to the fastest that shutter slaps is at 500th.

These are such incredible shots for what is ostensibly a gear review. So glad you took the plunge to test gear in an actual project not dry test settings. Great vid!

I think some of these digital camera companies are having a dilemma where influential kids are going all film and taking pictures with discontinued cameras that these companies can’t profit from. I think there will be an effort to redirect people away from film much like this video right here. I’m not accusing willem of anything I’m sure he is t aware of this but it’s clearly going to be a thing. These corporations don’t want you to know that you don’t need their cameras. Hasselblad is owned by dji who is owned by the Chinese government and leica is owned by black rock btw.

Hasselblad and Volvo. You're really hitting all the brands of my hometown, Gothenburg. When I was a kid, Hasselblad had manufacturing right in downtown Göteborg. Still have my 500C/M and planning on getting either this or the older 50MP back for it.

very cool what hasselblad is doing lately. I would love to put it on an old hasselblad, what a way to shoot. extra crazy would be a serious 6x6 "fullframe" sensor 🤯

Kinda off topic, but I always love seeing the spots you shoot at because I know exactly where they all are being an LA Native in Eagle Rock😄 LA is so photogenic!

This has to be the most exciting digital camera since the Fujifilm X100. As you mentioned it shines in middle of so many uninspiring digital cameras. Despite the costs of film I still don't feel too tempted to get a full frame digital camera for my lenses, because I enjoy my film cameras for those lenses. It goes, for now, way beyond my means but I am very excited to see what talented photographers as yourself do with this camera that isn't a normal camera with some nostalgic clothes, but it feels like another experience.

these fotos are fantastic . you are a fineartist. bravo

I was watching another video on this when you uploaded, haha, you used it much better than the other guy

As a former film photographer, I used the “poor man’s hasselblad” Kowas. Digital is so rewarding and you know instantly if you get the shot. 100 mpixels is so dream come true. I hate that I can’t afford it. Thanks for sharing your experience. Aren’t you the lucky one?

Man, he is such an inspiration.

Yes! I'm glad Hasselblad still has you on their short list for reviewing new camera releases! I love this project you've been working on, too. I also love the form factor of this camera for all the reasons that you outlined. That said, I own the sister to it, the X2D which has the same sensor. For those viewers thinking of buying either of these cameras, what you give up for this body type versus the X2D are excellent sensor image stabilization, and a significantly greater degree of weather resistance. If you still have this camera and lens, you might try shooting at wide-open or at least wider than f/4. These lenses are so sharp you can see softness from diffraction even at f/5.6 and smaller apertures on that lens/sensor combination. (The body provides auto focus bracketing and auto exposure bracketing to allow you to easily and quickly do that). All that aside, I really can't wait to see this project when it's done, especially if you publish a book or host a gallery show. For the sake of our entertainment, however, def. spend that $13,000 on more Volvos and Volvo parts for your other channel!✌

I recall when medium format backs first made their debut in the early 2000s. Phase One, etc. 15,000 was seen as an obscene amount of money. Would save you a lot of time spotting dust from medium/ large format chromes. Nice review, Willem. Subscribed.

What a camera 🤤

As a Hasselblad film camera user from the 90’s and into the early 2000’s, I have fond memories of that system. Running a studio at the cusp of the changeover to digital resulted in flicking all my film gear. Blads, Leica M6, Canon Eos to go 💯% with the new tech. It paid dividends big time, but the vibe around the cameras was degraded. No soul compared to my past experience. Anyhow, kind of full circle now in a way. I just bought the Leica M11P and a few lenses. It’s a seriously nice camera… I love using it!!! However… had I known the Hasselblad was being released….

V70R ftw 😂 great video

Love this video! Can you make a video on your editing style?

Interesting how the cross on the hill in the first frame showed up a bit better on the 4x5 film than the hasselblad

would love to see the back on the film body

Thanks for taking night shots. I’m sure it’s a pretty outdated way of thinking now that technology has come further - but I was always under the impression higher megapixels performed worse in low light. I can see it’s not the case though!

when did you get the blob eye? more car photos please hahaha :) best photographs on YT taken with the 907x!

wow amazing

This being a professional film camera has a good hdr processing which means the computing capacity of the software in this camera is very capable. Most pro cameras or dslr dont process the hdr unless you shoot in raw and combine multiple images to get the proper exposure of bright and dark areas at the same time. This also has a unique signature style in the images it takes. OnePlus phones also seem to have this but doesn't work well on phone cameras as it does with this professional camera. The yellowish hue is present and it seems to be it's signature style.

Hey willem 📷 hope everything it’s well with you 😃 well it’s beautiful photos that you are creating 👌 It’s my first time on your channel 🫢but ofc the camera 📸 it’s make everything so smooth and looking crisp, but in my eyes 👀 it’s that you have the foundation from film and you need the eyes too seeing the image before it’s taken 🤩 That’s it’s my dream camera 📷 but will never have the money for it but thanks for sharing this video, take care regards// J 🇸🇪
