Why Hasselblad?

[M.ST]

to caMARYnon:

Look at my profile text.

But I can´t say more or I never get new stuff to test from the Canon headquarter in Japan in the future.

Not having used an MF cam, I do not have anything to contribute with. Very interesting thread though... Thanks all!

Cheers!

For headshots and studio it's superb. Hasselblad lenses are in a different league too.

M.ST - thank you for useful info

Why?

Because of customer requirements.

Because the larger the sensor the better the image quality.

Anyone with a Canon P&S, Rebel or 5D would know the difference.

A colleague uses Hasselblad. I thought the IQ from my 5D3 was awesome but the Hassy just blows it out of the water. Dynamic range is in another class. Ability to crop is enviable. There is that unique look.

For an analogy with film-era arguments, it's almost like comparing drum scanned 35mm Velvia with 4x5 sheet film. Even so, if your shooting style is dynamic and involves any kind of action, give me a Canon DSLR any day. IQ is one thing, but content is king.
