I've noticed twice in the last few days people making statements along the lines of "I hate Hasselblad and the way they have to use software to fix up their crap lenses".
I have also noticed that the people making these statements appear not to have had any personal experience with these lenses.
Well Hasselblad have provided some sample RAW images for you guys to look at, plus they have changed their terms (at long last) so that you can download the software (Phocus) without having to own a back, you do have to register for the download but again need not be an owner.
There are 4 images available on the site:
#1 An interior (ambient light by the look of it) with the 28mm. Now to me the sharpness looks amazing but perhaps an architectural expert could chime in. The distortion correction also looks very good to me but again I'd love to hear comments from the experts.
#2 A pretty girl shot in studio with the 120 macro, actually quite similar to the shot that Niel Snape posted (that I felt had some processing/ exposure flaws).
#3 Another pretty girl (hurrah!) with maybe some flash fill shot with the zoom.
#4 finally a night time shot of the London eye done with the 35mm.
Downloads are here:
http://hasselblad.com/downloads/images.aspxabout 240 MB worth.
Download Phocus as well:
http://hasselblad.com/service--support/tec...-downloads.aspxThen point Phocus at the folder of images you downloaded.
Toggle the lens corrections on and off (on all images), you'll see the most difference with the 28mm distortion correction.
I look forward to feedback.
