It is not a bypass, regardless of what any dealer says - it is an official policy by Hasselblad USA that the H4X is now a product that can be ordered stand-alone - there is no trade in required any longer.

Steve,

Is it indeed limited in time as mentioned on the Hasselblad website?

Thanks, Joris.

It is good to see that Hasselblad has made the right call on the H4X.
There are lots of people out there who love the H system's ergonomics and features, but would love some more choice for the backs. Hell, if I know my choices would have been a lot harder if this were possible back when I was in the market for an MF system!

In the USA at least - I have only been told this is standard. Whether they put an expiration at some point is not known to me.

Joris, can you show me the link where you see this?

Thanks all for the input. In the end after playing with everything I really liked the H5 body, but just could not get over my apprehensions about phocus within my own workflow as well as my clients'. So I've gone with an h4x and credo back. I can't wait to get the gear and to start working with it. Both distributors I worked with were very professional and informative as well as being patient. I would feel super confident giving either of them my business but in the end went with the best price/closest location to me. I'll get back after I play a while...

Craig,

Congratulations!  Please keep us posted.

I am very interested to know how that HCD 35-90mm works without Phocus DAC lens corrections using Capture One.

Thanks, Joris.

You can turn lens corrections off in Phocus if you want to test.

I for one really like my "lowly" H1 w/ the 80mm lens. Works awesome with my IQ160. If the H4X body were less $ I would consider the upgrade right away. Honestly Hasselblad should sell them for cheap. It makes a lot of business sense since the more bodies are in the hands of photographers the more lenses they would most likely sell. Much rather have a camera in the hands of customers than in a box in a warehouse.

True.  I just don't have any HCD lenses.  I would need to rent one to try it out.

The lenses I have cover most my needs.  Perhaps the 24mm or the 28mm would be useful.  The latter does have a lens profile in C1 however so that is fully supported.

I have the HCD 28. It was one of the first lenses developed with software corrections in mind. It is already excellent before corrections, Phocus mainly corrects distortion on that lens.

Thanks Joris - yeah, I couldn't get any of the promotion links to show up until today for some reason.

So, anyway, for now - no trade in.


Phocus corrects HC and HCD lenses.

I have the HCD 28. It was one of the first lenses developed with software corrections in mind. It is already excellent before corrections, Phocus mainly corrects distortion on that lens.

But it is a critical correction, because there is a significant amount of distortion and Phocus does an excellent job correcting it.

You are going to love that setup. Congrats.
