Hassy True Focus
« on: December 08, 2015, 03:36:56 pm »

Would this true Focus be of any use for landscape photography?

It is useful any time you want to focus and recompose using only rotations with no lateral movement.  It could be helpful in some circumstances, but for me portraiture is where it shines.

Assuming you will be putting the HB on a tripod for landscape photography. This is where True Focus has difficulties and might even work against you since it doesn't recognize the movements you make. TF works best when shooting loosely out of the hand with deliberate wrist movements while recomposing. I find it very helpful shooting portraits. When shooting from a tripod I would never use TF.

Hasselblad's documentation indicates that True Focus should work on tripod: static.hasselblad.com/2015/02/using-true-focus.pdf

I do not use True Focus in landscape photography.
