MEDIUM FORMAT ANAMORPHIC: HASSELBLAD H6D 100c
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Hasselblad allowed me to have a go with one of their top tier cameras: The Hasseblad H6D 100c. Its a 100 mega-pixel digital medium format camera with a sensor as large as an IMAX camera. I tried out my custom anamorphic setup on this camera. Yeah, it was amazing.

Rolling shutter effect is quite obvious though
Indeed! It almost twice as large as a full frame sensor so its to be expected ;)
@@GxAce stick it on a gimbal!
Not only obvious, it's protruding! I guess it shouldn't be used to film while panning.
I think the anamorphic de-squeezing does exacerbate the effect of rolling shutter.
Adrian Parkinson Yeah, good point! By the way this terminology has always bothered me. Why is it called de-squeezing while it's actually de-stretching? or even better, just squeezing!
Loved this, H6D is a filmmakers dream ergonomically, I love that beast in the hands...beautiful images.
It feels so nice in the hand!
Dude thank you for the ridiculously amazing videos you produce. I love your work and am so excited to see what you produce in the future! Hopefully more videos more regularly ;) Keep up the amazing work!
I’m so grateful for people like you who really enjoy my videos! I wouldn’t be making them if it were not for you! Thank you. I really would love to make them more frequently as well! I’m probably going to stick to monthly as my plan going forward for now.
Absolutely loved this video, but the usual IMAX format is actually 70mm x 53mm, compared to the 53mm x 40mm of the H6D-100c. Only the Arri Alexa 65 which was built in conjunction with IMAX and probably their 65mm 4k 3D camera have a smaller sensor sizes (around 54mm x 26mm). But I would love to see a movie shot on the Hasselblad system, as I saw in another video, rolling shutter might be the biggest problem. Thanks for the great video, those visuals were just amazing.
I was mostly referring to the Alexa 65 when I mentioned it being as large as an IMAX camera. The sensor is similar size horizontally but the Alexa has a more narrow aspect ratio. If only the Hasselblad shot in an “open gate” mode and could shoot the full sensor size in video instead of 16x9.
Thank you so much for watching :)
These still images are seriously one one the best looking shots I have seen in a long time, that look and feel is just absolutely mind blowing!
The easiest and quickest subscribe button press i've done.
So glad channels like this are popping on my recomended!
You are officially one of my favourites, with Kinetek, Make Art Now and Media Division.
Simply outstanding passion and creativity in sharing the beauty of the process.
Best regards and thanks for your amazing work GxAce!
Thank you so much!! Those other channels are great too! I've not heard of Kinetek but I'm gonna check them out! Hopefully I'll be able to make more content quicker in the future!
Insane video dude.
Thanks my dude!!
my god. The quality of your videos is literally unbelievable. Idk how you do it but every single one is so gorgeous. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!! That is super encouraging!
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I would say I wish your uploads were more often but then again, I really appreciate that you take your time and create beautiful, artistic content.
Thank you so much for the support. My goal is to make videos more often but I'm worried I may have to make sacrifices to put out content quicker. My current goal is at least one every month :)
More rolling shutter than the GH5 but for only 30k 😂
Yeah, good thing this isn't sold as a video camera, huh?
@@GxAce Unfortunately I can not buy this camera to film the real life on the streets of Brazil where the robbers are always on the lookout...even having the money, nobody would take the risk. Good luck. And try to put some real russian anamorphic lenses on it. I have the square front Lomos if you need it.
Some of it may have been exaggerated by the scope being misaligned a bit
Try A6400 Sony!
A sensor as big as an Imax camera? wow, that's big!! Yes, you might use this for video but you can also rent an Alexa 65 with their Primo lenses and produce FAR superior IQ.
At that point might as well grab 70mm film ;)
We use Alexa 65 and new Zeiss Ana Primes and it DOES NOT produce better iq than Hasselblad - we also used Red Epic Dragon for some stills and they were nowhere near as good as when we used our own Hassy H6d - also should be noted that whilst ALexa is virtually medium format its in the codecs where the stills magic happens and that's where Phase One/Hassy will always be better - and yes we tried both for video - Alexa won - in fact before we got the 65 we used the 4:3 Studio Alexa with Hawk Ana's and yes the 65 is way way better on all grounds - its horses for courses - its why Arri don't make stills cameras and Hassy dont make video cameras -
@@nelsonclub7722 , Can you post the footage on youtube? I'm sure you'll get the third sub as soon as you do that :)
@@THEMATT222 What footage? We are a production co making adverts for TV
@@GxAce You're pretty much right - there is nothing that can beat that - but now the processing is so ridiculously expensive - the film hard to get and everything is then digitised - but in terms of sheer IQ - thats where we are headed - not there yet
Love to see Detroit via this setup. That shot of the Ambassador Bridge was very nice.
Man, you're a genius! That look is one of the best I've seen on UA-cam, shot by UA-cam content creators. Genuine artistic cinematic looks. Hasselblad should present You that camera for PR like that. It's outstanding.
Wow!! Thank you so much!! You are far too kind! Now I have huge bar to reach for with my next video hahaha
@@GxAceIt's like at some point Peter Mckinnon was the next level of vlogging. Now, your videos look like the next level. I have written You on instagram. Could You, please, check the pm?
Fujifilm has a 100mp medium format camera being announced tomorrow(?) with hopefully far less rolling shutter issues...
Also an unfortunately much smaller sensor :(
@@GxAce very true... :(
That natural light framed anamorphic shot at 7.44-7.45 and the tower bokeh'd behind that guys hat head shot. Talented...
I am buying a used h5d-40 + 100mm f2.2 tomorrow. Look forward to it
Dear GxAce,
footage just looks f. gorgeous. it outweighs by far all the neg.nitpicking aberrations mentioned below, obviously its not a film camera(I have one myself) and it comes with quite a few disadvantaged...but the advantages, wow. I bought the camera, 2 years ago...have 5 lenses with it...and finally paid off my last lease rate last month. ugh. I use it for pictures...and the look is just different. agreed, not everyone sees it. some clients say: yeah I liked your pictures before too...(canon 5d) but I see the difference, its another perspective...another quality.
for some people filming with iPhone already is amazing. but for me there is so much information in the images to play with if you know how, the bokeh is like nothing else and the depth of field is like nothing else.
I really got it for the potential of filming. though, I learned the camera has certain real disadvantages that I want to deal with. 1, there have been no upgrades from Hasselblad that make the filming part better or have given it new options etc to make filming easier. I still hope this will come...2. the overheating off the sensor which depending on the weather can start to happen quite fast, and once its hit a certain temperature, you can stop shooting all together cause it takes a long time to cool down. 3. audio problems.
ALPA Switzerland, an amazing small Swiss top of the line company has been working on a solution to have PL mount and cooling system which looks very promising but also very expensive and prices are not out yet... but it would definitely make it a workable solution to film with for projects where money is not such a big issue. I am very interested in your solution and if can create something alike for my Hd6 but I am not a handy man, If you can help to create something similar I would be very thankful, the Hasselblad lenses are very good but are not meant for filming. all operated through the camera and though you can only change focus distance the throw is extremely short...
Thank you!
Raphael
Wow! Thank you so much for such a detailed comment! There are definitely some limitations to its filming capabilities, but if you know how to work with them, you can get some awesome stuff! I have been eyeing that Alpa Platon, it looks awesome!
this guy is the goat of experimentals.
Insanely high quality
That camera is nuts! So many pixels
The images in this video are amazing. Thanks for putting this together, and glad hassleblad reached out to you!
Thank you for watching!!! I’m super glad they did as well. It was a really amazing experience that I am extremely grateful for.
Love the Hasselblad H range - Most of the cost is the 100c back. Great ergonomics. If you need the best its either Phase One or Hasselblad H. I still cant understand why their X1D is still so unfinished...
Its my first time using it and its pretty awesome!
Not often I pause a UA-cam video to take in the frames. Some of those stills are absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing! Also really cool of Hasselblad to reach out.
Wow! Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. Yes!! I’m so grateful they did.
Although sensor size plays a huge part, things like color accuracy, motion blur and roll off in video are different things altogether. Works on paper yes but not in the real world. No cinematographer would pic this over even an Ursa mini. That being said, this is a phenomenal camera in terms of photography and I'd sure envy someone holding it especially with an anamorphic attachment slapped in front. Also as an owner of 7 hasselblad medium format lenses, I can vouch for the quality of the glass. It justifies the hype in every way possible. Great video and good to see an artist having a good hand at machining things. Only good can come out of this channel.
For sure! This is definitely miles away from a true cinema camera, but just like the 5D back in the day, this is an extremely promising glimpse into the future of what is possible and if you wanted to take the time to fight against the drawbacks of this camera, you could get a look that is hard to replicate otherwise. Thank's for the encouragement! I'm hoping to have some more machining videos in the neat future, but real life has been slowing down my youtube progress
I bet the rolling shutter is brutal, too. Even some dedicated cine-cams struggle with that
Yes! I love shooting with the Sankor 16-C and use it for film stills on a Mamiya 645 super. Would love to one day shoot some digital medium format with it!
Awesome! It's cool to hear other people shooting anamorphic. If only some company could make new affordable single focus anamorphics (I'm not a fan of SLR magic's products)
@@GxAce A company called Rapido Technology make an adapter called the FVD-16a I believe. I don't have experience with it, but it's supposed to help people who want an alternative to SLR Magic.
DUDE this is my dream, I've been thinking about this for so long!
INSANE PHOTOS WOOOWEEEEEEE. i hope they let you keep the hasselblad, i don't know if there's a going back from using it!!!
Haha. Unfortunately, I've already sent it back :( It was hard fur sure.
This whole video feels like a movie wth did not expect this.
Hahaha. Sorry to not meet your expectations ;)
Absolutely love what you are doing and how you are putting your videos together. Plus I really love the photo examples you show throughout the videos.
Thank you so much! It's comments like these that motivate me to do more :) I REALLY appreciate it!
The H6 has a 4:3 aspect ratio, so if you have a 2x anamorphic, you will get that classic cinema look!
Great work, thanks. I am a massive fan of anamorphic, ...and Hasselblad, but keep in mind, 4k video is still only using 8 to 12 megapixels. It is not as if you are getting the 100 megapixel stills capability in video mode. I would love to see that, though. And, as iMax is 70mm "film" not "digi" while it might be nice having that massive sensor, in this case size does not matter as much as one might hope.
So cool! The images are breathtaking!
Thanks man! How's it going?
@@GxAce Been busy but can't complain, we should link up at some point!
Awesome video. Your production value is through the roof and I dig your taste.
Thank you so much!!
Cool test, but rolling shutter is terrible
With a sensor so huge that is exactly what I would expect in such a small camera body.
that's a whole new level of anamorphic 😁
How would this combination work with the new Fuji GFX100?
It's something I'm very keen to try out and hopefully will!
Another 11/10 video!! I love when you upload these incredible videos!!!
Flips Media that is super encouraging. Thank you!!
I have been waiting so long for this video and as always, it was incredible. Thanks so much for putting out such interesting content.
Thank you so much man! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Your production quality always is insane.
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoy it!
Great idea. Would like to see more of these anamorphic setups. I own a 6x6 medium format camera and would like to see a 2x anamorphic lens setup for it
very dope. are you in a spaceship btw? haha very interesting set. but wow... this is wild.
Thanks!! Yes, I do live on a spaceship
Love the shots. Great colours too
Thank you very much :)
The image looks insane but there's a MASSIVE rolling shutter problem for shooting video. Any sensor that size is going to have to be global to produce decent video but that would drive the price up to the Alexa 65 range. Interesting tests though!
Indeed! lots of rolling shutter, but look at how tiny this camera really is. All of the guts are in the digital back and that Alexa is huge by comparison with all that extra space for processing and heat distribution.
I’m actually surprised you haven't tried the Fujifilm GFX 100 or 100s for this stuff. (...Yes, I know the sensor is smaller, but the camera is A LOT more video ready for a fraction of the money and 3/4 of the sensor.)
I have a video on it ;)
Forget the photos!
Those video clips as simple as they were, are PERFECT.
too bad Hassy hasn't established themselves as the go-to company for video
Hahaha
That's tiny. I shoot 6x7 as my main format and sometimes 6x9. Would love to try out large format.
Phase One needs to release a RZ67 III, demand for medium format is increasing.
Tiny is relative ;)
@@GxAce true that :p inch sensors are tiny relative to 35mm film or full frame sensors. Would be cool to shoot on one of the 20x24 cameras one day!
I would love to see more video material with this setup. It looks stunning. The moving shots got a lot, kind of rolling shutter though. But the stable shots are looking just insanely good
Definitely a lot of rolling shutter with such a huge sensor! I wish I had done more video with it as well but it was tough with the small CFast card I had.
@@GxAce the limiting factor with the space of the cf card makes it even more film like ;)
It was a hair too limiting hahaha. You at least get a minimum of 4 minutes with a 400' roll, I was getting around 1:30. But I totally get what you mean ;)
Cool experiment. Although it would be pretty ballsy to have your first "premiere" indy film and need to rent out an IMAX. XD Thumbs way up from me!
Thanks! It definitely would!! hahaha
BRO. Who are you. Your videos are blade runner fireeeeeeeeeeee. So dope man.
Beautiful images!
That's crazy,waiting more cinematic stuff !
Thanks! Just put out a new video!
Are you shooting stills? How do you control the aperture and shutter?
The V-Mount adapter allows you to control the aperture and shutter speed on the older lenses :)
Great video again, please keep making this quality content!
Thank you!! Please keep watching! :)
Dude such a cool cinematic effect you’ve added to your review videos, every review is like a movie! With the music ect, feel like I’m back in the pages of ‘Ready Player One”
Hasselblad is cool. But I'm waiting for the Fuji medium format camera. Hopefully the video functions will be better with less rolling shutter warble.
Personally, I'm not too interested in Medium format anamorphic as I feel the charm of Medium format is the full screen large image with shallow depth of field with no distortion on wide angle lenses.
I'm on the fence though. Is it really all that different compared to Full Frame or even APSC? Technically, the answer is yes. But will the audience know the difference on screen? A lot of your shots don't say, WHOA! TOTALLY DIFFERENT! Is it just a geek out technicality for pixel peepers and image fiends like us? Or something vastly different worth the extra bucks on a rental.
You're shots are great!
It's definitely a good question/point. Most non-photographers wont really be able to pick out medium format from 35mm if they didn't have the differences revealed to them.
Can you try the anamorphic lens on the phase one xf IQ4 trichromatic (150mp)??
If you have a spare laying around sure :P
What a great video super pumped to see more from you.
Thanks!! I will try not to disappoint :)
So love your videos! Image, sound, idea, storytelling! Thank you ;)
Thank you so much for watching!
Great work, man!
Thanks you so much!!
Man, the video and the image are so good that half way through the video I realized it's 480p on my settings
Hahaha.
That was absolutely amazing!!
Olov Karlsson thanks!!!! So glad you enjoyed :)
again, a superior cool project. Your Chanel rocks!
Thank you so much!!!!
I saw the title and literally screamed
Not sure if this is good or bad hahahaha
Just down here to say thank you for your amazing experience!!! Wow from Moscow, Russian Federation!!!
благодарю вас!
Where do I start with this anamorphic Len? Should I get a projector lens and attach an 80 mm Ken to that.? Great piece of footage.
Holy hell thats quite the setup
Haha! Indeed it is!
What is your taking lens on this setup? I think the most spectacular combo would be the anamorphic lens with the Mamiya 80mm f1.9. You’d actually get a 35mm (FF eqv.) horizontal field of view with a f1 (FF eqv.) depth of field. That’s the only case I can think of where medium format would beat out full frame minimum depth of field wise.
Unfortunately with these anamorphic projector lenses you need a 35mm equiv focal length of 85mm to avoid seeing the actually anamorphic lens in the image. You unfortunately cannot go wider. I was using the Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f/4 which is an 85mm equiv on 6x4.5.
I keep looking at the stills and waiting for them to move. Crazy quality.
That 100 megapixels is no joke!
@@GxAce you can say that again.
You're not using a diopter in front of the anamorphic?
Not for any of the photos, didn’t need to focus that close. I did for the shot of the watch in one of the clips of video I shot.
Great video. QUESTION... now that you have used the Hassleblad with Anamorphic lens, what Anamorphic lens would you recommend for this camera? I just bought the Hassleblad H6D and I am looking for Anamorphic solutions to be used on this camera. Thanks 😊.
Production quality on this one is amazing! Love this video, gets me dreaming ;)
How are you de-squeezing the images to make use of the whole sensor?
Just scaling the horizontal axis by 2x
Looks beautiful!
Thanks!!
Love your aesthetic, keep doing what you’re doing 🤙🎥📽
Dude, I’d love to shoot with you one day. I’m in Oak Park but from Detroit...and downtown is my old stomping ground.
How much vignetting did you have to crop off? What was the final aspect ratio?
It's a shame the camera doesn't use the full sensor height for video. It would be really useful for anamorphic shooting if cameras offered more aspect ratios in video mode.
Hello, loved the video man :) Can you give me some specs please? I'm trying to replicate the field of view inside a 3D software for doing renderings. So what lenses can you put the anamorphic lens on? I know that the H6D has a sensor size of 53.4 by 40 mm. And what is the "stretch factor" or "squeeze factor" does your anamorphic lens has?
Do you think you could achieve something similer with the GFX100 II?
Could you please explain how to mount the lens to the body? What mount
Really dope project!! Video is because of the heavy rolling shutter not really usable IMO...
Thanks! Yeah definitely would need to use stabilization like a gimbal, but again, it definitely reminds me of a 5Dii with the way it handles video and people still got awesome stuff with that ;)
omgomgomg this is so cool man, subbed, pls shoot more stuff, the stills are outstanding!
Thanks for the sub! I will definitely shoot more :) Thanks!!
Does it have a 4:3 sensor? Or did you have to crop the ends when shooting 2X anamorphic?
irrelevant but do u still have the x100? also have u tried anamorphic lens on fujis?
I do have my x100 still! Unfortunately the lens is to wide for use with my Anamorphic. I have however used the Anamorphic with my XT3 and it’s awesome! I might be making a video about that soon ;)
@@GxAce my x100 got stolen last week cause my car got robbed and i lost work too and im thinking of buying x100f and xpro2 or 1 xt3
@@GxAce would love to buy an anamorphic lens too
That sucks :( Sorry to hear that.
Damn! It's 2024 and I'm still dreaming about this cam
The rolling shutter is due to all the glass in the way right? Any chance of footage without with anamorphic setup?
Rolling shutter is actually caused by the CMOS sensor capturing the image line by line on the sensor so that the pixels at the top of the sensor record data before the pixels at the bottom causing the image to look slanted. This camera has such a huge sensor that the effect is amplified. Shooting with longer lenses does increase the effect because the images captured through the lens appear to be moving faster because of the zoom factor of the lens.
I only shot a very small amount of video and only used the anamorphic setup.
@@GxAce Thanks for the reply love the content!
@@BlunderB Thanks for the question! :)
Big up GxAce. big inspo for all of us!
Thank you so much, seriously.
Great video - congratulations!
Thanks for watching!!
Every picture looks like a frame from a movie
That is the magic of anamorphic my friend.
Very cool! 👍
Thanks!!
Amazing video! Is it possible to adapt this anamorphic to something like an xt3 or an A7iii?
Absolutely! I'll be making a video about it!
Btw I love your cinematic b rolls
Thanks!!!
Hi, saw in the box that this is shot on an x-t3. Wondering if you tried anamorphic on this camera. Just very recently I bought x-t3, and I've been wanting to try anamorphic for a while, do the smaller aps-c sensor help to lower the budget?
I have tried it on my XT3, there is actually a photo with it on my XT3 in my other anamorphic video. I recently shot a promotion for a film festival with this setup on the XT3 as well.
The H6D 100c sensor is not close to the size of IMAX. 53x40mm compared to 70x48mm
this is really sick. Great ingenuity. What's with the filming from a sci fi rocket ship though?
Simply because I can ;). Thanks!!
Love this so much! :)
Thank you so much!!!
Sorry for asking again, but can you tell me the song/track that's playing at around 4:32. I need to know, so I can get it out of my system :)
Thanks again - and keep the cool videos coming
I'll have to get back to you on that title, not sure off the top of my head!
@@GxAce Thanks I would really appreciate that!! :)
@@madskrabbefotografi late late LATE reply, but the song in that part of the video is "Inertia" by Trevor James Tillery
@@notPat-Rick thanks a lot 🤠👍🏼
I have the 907x. If they followed this up with the H6D Multishot, that'd be the best thing ever. Are there any really wide anamorphic lenses out there you think I could adapt to my digital back? I have a friend on island, that has a 503 CW. We experimented mixing our camera's together. It worked, but took much experimentation to figure out. I think it did do video, but I couldn't figure it out.
Is there any crop on the video though?
There also seems to be some terrible rolling shutter.
Well, its a crop to 16x9 instead of the full sensor area, but that the same for any photo camera that shoots video. Yes, definitely a lot of rolling shutter, but that's to be expected with such a physically large sensor and a small camera without the extra processing power of say an Alexa 65
Is that the Ambassador Bridge? Nice shots.
Indeed it is! Thanks!!
Hasselblad is great
Indeed! A beast of a camera.
