ynemtsov Posted November 24, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello to Everyone! Its my first post here and i am glad to be here. I am M9 user and also i am H503 user. Now i need to decide between this two systems. I am not professional but i want to be completely shure that M9 will completely be better than H503+Nikon 8000. Here some photos: They are clickable ynemtsov The main question:Who are using both systems? My best regards from Russia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Hi ynemtsov, Take a look here Leica M9 or.....MF Hasselblad +Nikon 8000. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tobey bilek Posted November 24, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2013 You mean D800, not 8000? The D800 will run rings around the M9 AND IT WILL SHOW on prints bigger then 11x14 at 240 ppi. And smaller prints at above base base ISO. I can find no reference 8000, but it may be a film camera. In any case, the M9 outclasses medium format film.

ericborgstrom Posted November 24, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 24, 2013 I own all three sysyems. Leica is my everyday system, my walk around and travel system. Hasselblad is for thought out stationary subjects used on a tripod. The D800E is my bad consciense. Too heavy for everyday use. Too much money "invested" in the system. Too good to get rid of. —Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted November 25, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2013 Having used all three systems and cameras I have previously sold both the Hasselblad and Nikon D800e. I have no regrets selling the D800e, otoh the Hasselblad has been repurchased and is a camera I will never sell again. All 3 cameras and systems are excellent and each has it's advantages/disadvantages however the Leica and Hasselblad are special for those that value quality both in their camera and images, whereas the Nikon is an electronic marvel that excels at resolution....with the right lens.

Guido Posted November 25, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2013 That's quite a leap, eh? Pitching a compact rangefinder camera against two heavy SLR/DSLR beasts. Different horses for different courses! For travel and landscape photography, I would have said: sell the Hassy, forget about the D800, keep the M9 (plus perhaps a Mamiya 7ii if you're really into both rangefinders and film). However, since from your portfolio it appears that you mostly do model shoots in studio settings and don't need to walk around a lot with the gear, I'd get the D800 and sell everything else.

sydkugelmass Posted November 25, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 25, 2013 I own M9 and MM, with many lenses even from Zeiss & CV. I own further and old SWC non T* and a 903 SWC. I use Leicas with complete satisfaction. I will probably never renounce to the Hassies. My biggest problem is how to scan film at its best. But even when I scan it with an oldish Noritsu Minilab scanner, the 25 mpx output from Provia 400 is fantastic. In some cases I carry both systems with me.

wattsy Posted November 25, 2013 Share #7 Posted November 25, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) In any case, the M9 outclasses medium format film. Hardly. I assume the OP is referring to a Nikon 8000 scanner. My advice would be to stick with the Hasselblad kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaphotoof Posted November 25, 2013 Share #8 Posted November 25, 2013 I'm with Wattsy. But if you like to see the results within 10 minutes after you shot the photos, you might want to end up with the M9 instead of your Hasselblad. Why not keeping both?

sanyasi Posted November 25, 2013 Share #12 Posted November 25, 2013 For the most part, I have never understand questions like this. Have you had problems with, maybe. But which system should I use, no. It goes without saying that a good photographer could get great photos out of any these cameras. Traditionally, you would use rangefinder for travel, street, and informal photography, but people have gotten excellent still life and formal portraits with a rangefinder. Traditionally people have used dslrs and medium format for modeling and commercial work, but many get great street photos with these systems. Anything beyond that requires people to make their own judgment based on an inventory of their needs, testing, review of features, and examination of images. In short, if someone can afford these systems and has the skills to exploit them, they should not be asking others to make this call. I am shooting my first wedding tomorrow, what lenses should I use? You shouldn't, be shooting the wedding tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
