the last :20 seconds of this video to the end are the holy grail....
🤘🏻😅
I desire the Hassy... and that Bronco.
🤣
Thanks Sam for the update. Your videos are great. I’m glad to see you getting lots of use out of this wonderful camera!
Those are kind words. Thanks for sticking around!
That’s really funny. Stop watching reviews. Both my camera bodies are dead. So watching a review like this is extremely helpful.
Your last sentences: YES!!! I agree with you wholeheartedly! Thank you for saying it. Thank you for the video and the honest review. Love it!
Thank you for your kind words. The encouragement is well received right now.
Have you checked out the new one that literally JUST came out?
What is Fuji 400H Emulation?….I see that you used with 907X Digital Camera
It’s a Lightroom preset. It sounds cooler to say “Film Emulation” 😂 I’m using the origial VSCO Lightroom presets from before they discontinued them! They’re spot on. I don’t understand why they cut them.
I always get blown away when I develop and scan my Hasselblad negative. Especially Portra 400
I am not aware that the camera would affect how the film behave. Would the Kodak Portra behave differently on other medium format?
@@shang-hsienyang1284 what do you mean?
They address some of the issues with the new version, it has face AF and boots far faster. It's not using SD cards any longer but one cfexpress type B and 1TB internal storage. Your pictures are amazing, in particular the film based one.
The new one definitely fixed most of these issues. Face Detection is not the best in my experience. It hunts around too much and lands just behind or in front of the eyes. I prefer a simple single AF point that can move around with the handle’s joystick.
Thanks for the intentionality!
Thank you for revisiting this. I thought about getting one for a long time and realized I just needed to shoot my 500cm more.
I hate to tell you that I bought one in January and while I have shot two rolls of film, I absolutely love the digital medium with the mechanical feeling.
@@simonwesterlund1 that’s awesome. I went with the phase one so I get it. Definitely has a unique feeling
I'm thinking with nice weather coming to the New Orleans area this weekend, I need to get my 503CM out and exercise it a bit...get me some good 6x6 shots. I've been playing with B&W so much lately, I"m going to bring a healthy of supply of good color film on this trip but will still do both color and B&W backs...love having choices!!
Maybe a bit of cine film through it?
Why are all the product photos around the 4 minute mark hanging to the right o_O
It fckd with my head to the point where i thought my monitor was tilted and had to get a ruler to make myself not think i'm going crazy.
Maybe you’re hanging to the right.
@@SamMcGhee You mean left :D
Glad your making videos again!
It’s added some stress to my daily routine. 😅
@@SamMcGhee understandable I'm sure it gets a bit much. Also glad you still shooting with the Hasselblads, definitelly trying to get one down the line
Thanks for the video, I have to ask, how are you attaching the peak design anchor to the 500CM ?
It’s a little scratchy! There’s little anchor points I had to really make the peak design anchors tighten up. It really isn’t super secure.
@@SamMcGhee Thank you for this, I've been trying to figure out a way without using the Lugs that come with the Hasselblad straps, happy to see you posting again!
Hey, another fellow 907x owner here
I do find myself using it quite similarly, although with a bit more range of XCD lenses.
The newer 38V for instance definitly has been one of my favorite as of late, the AF clutch was sorely needed on the 907X.
A bit of an anecdote, maybe its just SD card brands but mine definitly is ready to shoot from power on faste using top speed sandisk extreme prosr. Though the X2D much improves there, 907X2 when Hasselblad?
While I do use mine on my 503cx some, in those cases more akin to the old Polaroid back to make sure my shot is nailed as much as I can tell at least on MF crop before switching over and taking it for real with film.
I digress, it's a lovely niche camera to go around and shoot with. Certainly not for most, but for those it is there isn't much quite like it.
Great anecdote for sure. Love it. I am using high end cards, but maybe it’s time to toss them and swap with new media.
@@SamMcGhee Picking mine up and doing a sanity check, with 2x128GB 300MBps Sandisk Extreme PROs my non-50th edition 907x it recognizes the sd cards and lets me shoot easily under half a second after the screen is at the main menu. Not the moment that screen pops up, but a hair after. Cards are formatted by the camera, camera on latest firmware, and switching to a set of 200MBps 512GB sandisk Extreme Pros its similar there too.
Assuming the special edition 907x doesnt have something strange going on in the firmware it definitely should be recognizing them faster. Not quite sure what would be the cause there or if resolving it is even worth your time if it required new media though. Enough of me rambling about sd cards though, great vid!
@@solagraphy @Sam McGhee My 907x is from this January (however I doubt that they revisioned it) and I have zero delay with memory cards, as soon as the main screen turns on I can shoot. FWIW I use 300MB/s Extreme Pro SanDIsk cards.
"waist level finder" it is not a waist level finder, it is just a screen ! But I do wish that DJI/"Hasselblad" had made it possible to mount a waist level finder on the back screen, then it could feel like a "real" camera.
You could be having fun. But grumbling feels good too sometimes.
I bought a 501cm for myself in January, FREAKIN LOVE IT!
Freak yeah!
Yes, good thinking, as the CFV sensor will pick up any lens imperfection, so the modern glass (designed around this sensor resolution) is the ONLY thing to not present problems to the sensor, FINE for film, as the silver is spaced out more, so has a chance to miss the errors in the lens, and print the good stuff, and moir`e is NOT a problem with film, ONLY light leaks or lens flare !!
I love the imperfections!
Amen Brother. You dropped the mic on this one. If I want digital convenience and speed I use that option. When I do not need that, I use film equipment. My dad’s 500C still works and even used lenses give me great results. I have a Bronica S2a that is tough enough to use as a hand weapon then continue operating perfectly. Don’t chance trends. Become very proficient with the camera brought to the game. Thanks for this.
Beautifully written. I’ve got my wife’s late grandfather’s Rolliechord and it’s still my favorite to photograph with.
I love ❤️ my 907x
It’s definitely a killer camera.
Thanks for the video. Best advice I have heard in a long time, use the camera you have "USE IT!!!"
I have a hard time heading that advise, myself!
Man thanks for that last comment!! Awesome
thanks!
Good shit man. I really want the X2D.
I need to play with that!
You have the moon edition
I do! I love the moon plaque. It’s a great conversation starter. “If you believe it… these cameras photographed the moon landing.” 😂
@@SamMcGhee I have the non moon 907x. I live on Maui, and it's always a scene when I whip it out. I often take the handle off, and shoot it like the film cameras. I do all manual everything, I don't trust the auto mode. Manual white balance too. I aim to shoot slightly underexposed, but even when it does go over exposed, I'm genuinely surprised at recovery options in phocus. It's my very first camera, and a joy to use
As a UA-cam Content Creator I was wondering if you could explain yourself why you drop expensive and very cinematic cameras? Thanks 😂
Scott! 🤘🏻😂 I treat these cameras like my Milwaukee tools 🛠️. Alas… they aren’t always as robust.
"Stop watching camera reviews," putting yourself out of business! Rather enjoyed this review, even though my budget would not support a Hasselblad 907 purchase!
I have no business to be put out of 🤘🏻😂 what camera are you rocking these days?
Amen 👏👏👏
The silent applause was well received. Thank you.
Awesome advice on go shooting instead of watching reviews.
I’m trying to listen to my own recommendation!

5:25 Amen
Ranting🤘🏻😅
@@SamMcGhee not sure if I would call it a rant, seems more of an reminder or wake-up call to those that lost themselves in constant G.A.S but not using their stuff.
I been there and had to earn comments from colleagues that I should open a shop, but been also in struggle with my approach of images.
But I got myself out of the loop, by trying another approaches of photography, writing briefings/concepts and finally approach do projects I have on list for long time.
Just make a video to show us how you create portra simulation on digital photos and it will be the most watched video on your channel. hahaha
I can totally do that. Sadly. It’m using VSCO’s OG presets from before they discontinued them!!
Stop watching reviews go use the camera you own 😛
Seriously.
No
