Hasselblad H5X Medium Format SLR Camera Body with Battery and Charger

Versatility comes to the fore again by offering the Hasselblad Medium Format SLR Camera Body with Battery and Charger that uses H5 technology, with all its advantages, together with the opportunity of exploiting HCD 24mm, HCD 28mm and the HCD 35-90mm lenses with film magazines and 3rd party digital backs. Although aimed primarily at current H1, H2, H2F and H4x users wishing to upgrade to H5 capabilities, the H5x can naturally act as a backup for H5D users too. For 3rd party digital backs, the H5x offers the same functionality as the H4x.

Wide range of high performance lenses
The H5x lens program is designed and engineered by Hasselblad to meet the highest optical performance specifications. The HC and HCD lenses cover a wide spectrum of focal lengths and feature the fastest and most precise auto-focus system there is today. The unique HCD 24mm wide-angle lens, the HCD 28mm and the HCD 35-90 Zoom lens have been tailored for digital use with a 36x48 mm sensor, and only a slight drop in performance is experienced at the edge of the image when working with larger sensors. The integral lens shutters allow for flash sync down to 1/800 second. The lens shutter also provides silent and vibration-free operation.

Advanced exposure control
The exposure can be controlled either by sophisticated exposure automation or with full manual control.

Programmable
To make the camera suit specific requirements its design includes 35 functions that can be tailored by the user. The camera features four buttons than can easily be programmed as short-cuts to the most used functions of the camera. In this way you can instantly reach your favorite function just by clicking a button.

Profiles for simplicity and safety
With the numerous functions that can be set by the user for optimal use, a demand for a fool-proof way of controlling these changes arose - and thus the "Profiles" function was born. A profile stores all the settings of the camera and can be recalled at one click of a button. This allows for quick switching to a given mode of photography, it eases set-up time, and perhaps most important, it prevents mistakes from happening. Using profiles is now even better and easier with 7 different profiles in the camera and the function to create and manage profiles directly in Phocus.

Built-in fill flash
The viewfinder also features a compact flash. Though primarily intended to be used as fill flash it can also be used as main flash in some cases. The flash has a metric guide number of 12, but when used as fill flash with -2 stops adjustment it is equal to guide number 24.

Automatic flash
With the SCA 3902 flash adapter, any flash compatible with the SCA3002 system defined by Metz can be used. This means that you can choose from small and compact flashes for extremely portable use as well as larger and more powerful flashes when so required.

Flash metering system
The built-in flash metering system is designed to be used when working with manually controlled flashes, such as studio flashes.

Interchangeable film magazines
The film magazines for the H5x camera features inserts than can handle both 120 and 220 film. If you use Bar coded film (defined by Fujifilm) the setting of both film type and ISO value is automatic. Film wind-on and wind-off is also automatic with all films.

Dot-Matrix displays
The grip LCD and the viewfinder LCD is of dot-matrix type. This means that the camera is able to present clear and easy- to-understand information and messages instead of fixed and sometimes not so obvious symbols.
