I bought this camera with the 45P lens and the results are incredible. The camera handles extremely well and the menu system is easy to use. This is a finely tuned picture taking machine without all the unnecessary bells and whistles that are so common on today's camera offerings. It will not disappoint.

It's slow, but fast enough for my landscape shot. Highly recommend!

I shoot 100% with my 503cx and wanted an option to shoot with a digital film back but still keep the old school look and feel. So far I love it. It's taking a little getting used to. Keep in mind, you just set the ISO and the rest is just like the original. My only issue is that it isn't full frame. Wish they did that. Hoping a firmware update in the future will address that.

Just FYI to the reviewers talking about intermittent XCD lens connection issues - Hasselblad have said there was a known faulty component with the early 907X bodies that has been now fixed. Its a hardware issue so you will need to return the body to Hasselblad for sorting out.

Rolling shutter only affects the sensor in electronic shutter mode. It does not therefore affect the use of XCD lenses that have a physical shutter in the lens (or with V-cameras when using the lens shutter as well).

Great camera.

So far. I was worried about what I read in some of the reviews for the Hasselblad 907X 50C. But my fears have been unfounded. So far...everything works on this extraordinary piece of technology. And the resulting photographs have been beautiful-- because of the camera--not me!

I have been a serious sometime professional and mostly amateur photographer for 60 years. I used the V series Hasselblad for many years and as well 4x5 view cameras and Leica....I have read the constructive criticisms about autofocus being slow. This camera is not for the point and shoot crowd or sports or other action photography (wildlife). If scenic, architectural photography, portrait photography or macrophotography are a large part of your photographic interests, this camera cannot be beat. It is designed for the contemplative photographer of old: zone system etc. The camera size is great for travel and the interface is brilliantly straight forward. I just returned from Iceland and used primarily the 40p and 135 lenses. The images and color out of the camera were superb. You have to take the time to place the focus square and meter where they work best and the results could not be better. I took a large number of pictures hand held and a smaller number on a tripod...both produced excellent results. Dynamic range is huge. Color out of the camera could not be better. I could not have been happier with my results. If you are a photographer who has used the V system before and value a slower thoughtful approach, this camera cannot be beat. I relied mostly on the autofocus, and while slow, it was very accurate. If you are looking for action or wildlife close ups, this is not for you. If you want a great images that took some thought, you will not be disappointed,

Fantastic Camera. I currently have an Sl2, M10, and M10 Monochrome. This is a great medium format addition to my line up. Super easy to use, and you can shoot it in full auto if needed so it could be a simple point and shoot (in case your spouse or whoever wants to take some pics). Image quality (sharpness), is on par with the m10 (with a top notch m lens such as the 35 summilux). The SL2 with a apo sl prime lens will blow it away in sharpness. However, sharpness is not why I bought this camera. The rendering is beautiful, and the shooting experience is just so much fun. Its so nice to have something that makes it easier to get low to the ground, which is great for shooting dogs, cars, etc. The screen quality is fantastic. I personally didn't find the complaints of slower autofocus or startup to be any issue. The camera is great without the handgrip for the 45p lens, but may want to get the grip for the larger lenses (the grip is awesome). I use Hasselblad focus for editing and the color and dynamic range are def a bit better than the leica. Further I can easily crop to 100% plus given the 50mp sensor. Overall, the best thing about this camera is the user experience.

What a great way to use V series cameras.

While I already owned an X1D, the form factor of the 907X was better for a specific project I had in mind. The ability to use the rear tilt screen to emulate the waist level finder of the classic Hasselblads allowed me to avoid the need to bend (or sit) down to get the shots. The 50 mp sensor, along with the superb color rendition of the sensor and software, resulted in life like prints straight out of the camera with no post processing needed.

This is undoubtedly the most advanced and reliable camera I have ever had the privilege to use. I am delighted,

I purchased the CFV II 50C digital back, and it came along with another camera body. Not interested in that. The moment I opened the box (after admiring grade A presentation where even the plastic caps are color and texture matched to the paper boxes) I mounted it to my Hasselblad 500cm. I think superb is an understatement. The sheer attention to detail, and the seamless connectivity is mind blowing. Every mechanical function is integrated with zero hesitation, producing pin sharp and gorgeously rendered photographs. Large ones at that. Fit and finish is to be expected from a company that has created history's best cameras. The CFV II is the perfect addition to the V system, flawlessly fitting into not only the workflow, but the style and ergonomics as well. I think Victor would be proud. I think it is worth the high cost, I mean, we can live just fine with one kidney right? I don't miss mine...much.

On the B&H end, I wanted to go with a zero problem reputable seller, I don't have tons of money, and this was a difficult and large purchase. Well, that's what happened, zero problems. It shipped quickly and arrived all in perfect order. Then again, no new camera gear ever ships quick if you catch my drift.
