Advertisement Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hi Jeff S, Take a look here Leica S or Phase One. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
albertknappmd Posted March 12, 2018 Share #62 Posted March 12, 2018 Why do you think it is any different to taking a DSLR? Because Hassys are STUDIO cameras and will readily drown out there.

albertknappmd Posted March 12, 2018 Share #63 Posted March 12, 2018 In what way(s)? Jeff The camera is so slow that by the time she was ready, the decisive moment had passed. Also, autofocusing in snow is tough to begin with and very difficult with Hassy... Welcome, dear visitor!

Jeff S Posted March 12, 2018 Share #64 Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) The camera is so slow that by the time she was ready, the decisive moment had passed. Also, autofocusing in snow is tough to begin with and very difficult with Hassy...User issues for anyone who has spent minimal time with the camera and understands the known characteristics and shoots accordingly. A disaster for me would have been some unexpected breakdowns... weather sealing, mechanical, etc. Auto focus in snow? No thanks.

Guest Posted March 12, 2018 Share #65 Posted March 12, 2018 Because Hassys are STUDIO cameras and will readily drown out there. Albert i don’t agree with that statement. In fact is rubbish. I’ve had my H6D109c for 3 months and taken over 600 shots with it. None in a studio...... all outside in the field. My leica S is great. My files I get from my H6D are amazing........please stop bashing something that you don’t own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used my S2-P in serious rain with no issue, I do not think the H6D would fare so well hence the description as 'studio camera'. john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems happy with the X1D in this post. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1873493892674573&set=gm.1190680071063207&type=3&theater&ifg=1 Edited March 13, 2018 by alan.y Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s wrong to lump the X1D in this discussion, at least based on user reports to date. That’s why I asked specifically about his “disaster” comment, which now appears misplaced and overblown. Even older digital Ms that lack M10 level weather sealing can be used in inclement weather. As with all cameras, common sense use prevails.

tom0511 Posted March 14, 2018 Share #70 Posted March 14, 2018 As a owner of S007 and x1d I would say the x1d has one big advantage outdoors: size of body and lenses. Leaving the x1d on standby helps to avoid the loooong startup. I agree though that the S007 is quite good in regards of weather resistance and speed, and I also love the long lasting power of its batteries. I have used my S in heavy snow and also in heavy rain without any problems. I do not have the x1d long enough to be able to comment how good its weather resistance works, but I dont have a bad feeling. I know I prefer the lower weight of the x1d in my backpack. If going to Antarctica the S180 and S24 would be reason enough for me to probably bring the S, but on my "normal" travel I now am happy with the x1d.

Guest Posted March 14, 2018 Share #71 Posted March 14, 2018 I’m also an owner of the S007 and the H6D100c. I will probably get an X2D if and when it comes out and also after trying it especially printing from it. Last year I was invited to svalbard on board a scooter and initially was going to take my S007 with 3 lenses but my buddy who was organizing the trip told me I was crazy and should take my Nikon D5. At the end of the day I was going to take both D5 plus S007 but didn’t go as my work schedule changed. Personally I like to find out shit for myself. I think in the right hands a S007 X1D or even a H6D can preform anywhere. It’s just a case of figuring out the limitations and stick to them. Here in Asia my H6D has performed beautiful in 36 degrees even though the operator has struggled somewhat........... 36 degrees is frigging hot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted March 14, 2018 Share #72 Posted March 14, 2018 The Hasselblad is not a studio only camera. I can't imagine any owner saying this, ever. I have shot with the Hasselblad H since the H1, all over the world, in all sorts of conditions and while every camera has it's strengths and weaknesses it has worked flawlessly. I still own all the bodies I have bought and they work as well as they did when new and have never needed any repairs. The H, a 50 and 80 makes a fine travel camera and fits in a small bag. The shape is obviously a bit more bulky but it is quite light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsprow Posted March 26, 2018 Share #74 Posted March 26, 2018 Not a Hasselblad forum, and I have made fine images with an S007 -- but I've taken without a single problem my H6D-100c to Myanmar (Lake Inle shoot), Pakistan, Afghanistan and a recent glacier trip to Alaska. On the heavy side, yes, but well balanced and the images are well worth it. It' even fun on the street as it gets attention and I favor shots where people are aware they are being photographed.

erlingmm Posted March 26, 2018 Share #75 Posted March 26, 2018 Of course every camera can be taken anywhere. The Hasselblad was taken to the moon, and I hear Ansel Adams even took large format systems to Yosemite ;-) The question is at what effort, and how well it is adapted to the environment. To each his own ;-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own ;-) Agreed. I have taken monorail view camera and field view camera systems around the world. It only depends on the amount of effort one is willing to invest.
