One of the first images I shot with the Hasselblad. The reason I moved from a DSLR to medium format is because the medium format shoots a native 16bit raw which means it naturally captures something in the region of 10x the colours a DSLR can, the dynamic range is around 3-4 stops more and the detail the larger sensor captures is outstanding. If anyone is toying with a move to medium format I can assure you you won't regret it

Yes, I would agree - medium format is the way to go for professionals and serious toggers now. Otherwise it's mirrorless that's become the "new 35mm". Not sure why anyone bothers with a DSLR anymore?

No bull. Except for the quite superb one above...

Thank you Chris

I think some parts of the blending weaken this one for me Paul? The right hand side of the cow for example.

Thank you Kev, feel free to have a tweak with it if you wish

Love it: the tones, the topic and the rationale for using the HB. I have a  Hasselblad outfit (film) sitting around unused: manual, need to use a handheld light meter etc.

Thank you, there's nothing quite like a medium format, the files are gorgeous
