    modern digital Hasselblad backs CFV50c, CFV50CII, CFV 100C don't need any sync cable between body and back, they sync with the internal legacy film back mechanical sync rod.

    I like the way you "built" the composition by looking at the different elements in the scene and describing how one leads to the next as you pan the camera. That first shot was beautiful. Ever tried a tilt-shift? I use a 24mm Samyang/Rokinon, creating the pano using the shift function. It has the additional benefit of the tilt for dealing with depth of field. The Samyang/Rokinon is essentially a Canon clone but with manual aperture control, meaning you only need a dumb adapter. Its image circle easily covers the MF sensor with plenty of room for shifting.

    Really interesting. I've been doing a lot of work with this camera and I've been doing handheld panels and they actually work really well. You can do it handheld. Just make sure you get the horizon line in the top one third and it's pretty easy and I've actually been using this method for quite awhile you don't need to do it on a tripod sometimes is easier on a tripod but it can be done handheld for your videos once again always enjoy your channel. I'm curious are you gonna be updating to the new camera? The 100s ii

    This is posted about a year later, but I ended up with this camera and I absolutely love it. I'm considering upgrading to the new 100s ii. But I really love this camera and it takes amazing photos with good glass on the front. You can even use some third-party glass with adapters but I would recommend getting a couple of the FujiFilm lenses. I now have three FujiFilm lenses and that's a big statement because they are so expensive, but it is my dream kit for landscape photography I find the 50 megapixels is a sweet spot for medium format. The low light performance of this camera is just absolutely blowing and the level of detail is incredible. Thank you for your video. I'm interested to see whether you are going to upgrade to the hundred at any stage.

    Ciao Stephen, solo una domanda: una volta calcolata l’esposizione giusta della scena, sovraesponi di 3 stop per il filtro ND. Poi sovraesponi ancora di 1 stop per il filtro GND. Ma quest’ultimo è di 3 stop. Quindi non dovresti sovraesporre anche questo di 3 stop? Grazie a presto

    at 18:06 you forgot one important feature, the "winder", the W in the cameras' name, it has a winder specially made for it, to do fast sequences, also the crank can be replaced with a knob, knob + meter, and other accessories.

  • @andyvan5692

    a couple of tips, Yes, the baffle does shut at lower speeds, ~1/4 sec. and slower, so watch it; another one is to WATCH it when adding the backs on, on the 205cc's and 2000 models, they have FOCAL plane shutters, IN the exact position the baffle is!!- can get scratched!!; Lastly, to remove a lens/ front accessory, you MUST cock the camera, the drive for the shutter needs to be aligned correctly to mount it; and the spring is in the lens, so IT goes off first!!, saves jamming the body.

    Who’d a thunk 24 minutes watching a guy shoot trees in a pasture? Fantastic! Thanks for this video on the 50Sii. I’m on 6 months with my 50Sii and wondering about whether or not I stay with it or move to 100S or 100Sii? For now I’ll stay put. Are you shooting in 1:1 A/R? I got the Medium to shoot in 65:24 and love images. Yes B&W is a great look for the 50Sii. Thanks for your work! Cheers!

    Thanks for the video, yeah this meter is not for me, so much menu diving to do anything. Also the whole point of a meter is having it figure out the zone system for you, yet there's no way to dial in exposure compensation while seeing where your measurements land... lol

    Just bought an Epson V600 which now comes with an updated Silverfast 9..... brilliant. I was taking digital photos of my dad's old black and white photos from early 1900's which were so-so even when running them through Photoshop Elements but when i scanned them with the Epson, wow what a difference straight out of the box! Of course now i can scan all the old negatives black and white as well as colour and slides which is fantastic........

    A note on exposure. Most slide film have + and - 3 stops around middle grey. Velvia has a little less in shadows, maybe a half stop. Provia has up to 3.7 stops in shadows and 3.3 in highlights. Each one varies a bit, so putting the most important factor of the photo (the sky, the skin tone) in the range yoy want it, sometimes you'll have to blow the sky or black out the shadows to get the most important part of the scene right.

    I guess I am a touch older than you having bought my first 500/cm in 1985. I have put many films through my Hasselblads, mainly Fuji RFP50 but only recently I have decided to go back to medium format and found some incredible low use equipment. A 500CM, plus three immaculate lenses 50,80,150mm Then I recently bought a Phase One P25 digital back as the price of film is now so high. I know my 500CM inside out but always keen to listen to you guys for anything I might still learn. I have done some 35mm free lance motorsports photography using Nikon but there is nothing to compare having a 500cm in your hands. Thanks for the video. John
