Review Summary
The Hasselblad H3DII-39MS is a high-end full-frame DSLR camera. The H3DII - 39MS complements the fourth generation H3DII high-end DSLR, with multishot functionality: the ultimate choice for still life studio photography. Moire free images that exhibit a level of sharpness, resolution and color fidelity that you have to experience to believe are now attainable. This capability incorporated with the unparalleled abilities of the H3DII produce an unbeatable combination in the world of digital medium format photography today.
The H3DII -39MS includes H3DII 's UltraFocus architecture giving access to the newest HCD 28mm lens, designed and optimized solely for digital image capture. Software features including Digital Auto Correction lifts image quality to a level yet unseen in digital photography, including automatic correction for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. The multi-shot technology realizes the capture of still life subjects with all details represented in true detail and color resolution. By capturing a sequence of 4 shots, each offset by a one pixel increment, every point on your set is rendered with its true red, green and blue color components.
In this way, true detail and true color are acquired without interpolation of any kind. For stills photography it simply does not get better. When used outdoors or on location, the H3DI-39MS can perform normal single-shot mode photography too. Using the Ultra-Focus engine of H3DI-39MS the full HC lens program is further enhanced, bringing a new level of sharpness and resolution. Hasselblad's Digital Auto Correction for color aberration, distortion and vignetting is then added. The design of the 28mm HCD lens has been optimized for the actual 36x48mm area of the sensor to make it more compact and to work in conjunction with DA C. The highly renowned HC/HCD lens line uses central lens shutters, which adds flexibility by allowing flash to be employed at shutter speeds up to 1/800s. The central shutter also improves image quality by reducing camera vibration.
And thanks to the large format of the H System cameras, there is a considerably shallower depth of field range, making it much easier to utilize selective focus to creative effect. The H3DI-39MS has been designed to allow the digital capture unit to be detached and used on a view camera by way of an H system adapter. In this configuration the digital capture device can work with electronic shutters from ex. Rollei and Schneider, either stand-alone using the flash sync signal from the shutter or tethered to a computer with full control of the electronic shutter from the computer.
