Hasselblad X1D - Mirrorless Digital Medium Format

Camera manufacturer Hasselblad from Sweden just recently launched the Hasselblad X1D.
X1D is the first mirrorless digital medium format camera.

The camera comes with a 50MP CMOS sensor in a housing no larger than a full format DSLR camera.

The sensor has a dimension of 44 x 33m with a single pixel size of 5.3 x 5.3 micro meter.

Together with the camera a new series of lenses has been introduced. This XCD series of lenses are optimised for this mirror less setting. However, current H System lenses fit the camera using an optional adapter.

"Small enough to take anywhere, powerful enough to capture anything."

This invention brings high end glass and sensor technology to a handy form factor which allows the use of digital medium format in many more situations than current solutions.

Portraits on Film - Happy Birthday

Today it is the birthday of my mother. - Happy Birthday!

I take this opportunity to share two images of here. Both taken on film.
There are only a few technical differences between the two images.
- some 45 years in time, but only approximately 5 years in manufacturing date of the cameras
- the older one is in color
- the color one was taken on a film which is not available any longer - Kodak Kodachrome
- the newer one is in black and white
- the black and white one on a film which is still counted as state of the art - Ilford HP5
