1/17/2024 0 Comments Medium format vs frame cameraIt is smallish, but not as small as a Sony A7 body and certainly more substantial and heavy than online pictures might suggest. Be sure to be approached by people on the street when they see that thingy. It fits like a glove, has slimmed down controls and is just pure beauty. So what did we like? First of all, this is the most beautiful and ergonomic piece I ever had in my hands. Now as a matter of fact that camera is not just slower but it is night and day compared to what you are used from your full frame. You already read that it‘s slower and you already know that it isn‘t stabilized (right?!). Now while we knew the form factor would be convenient, we were not entirely prepared for the difference in how to use the cameras to their full potential compared to our Sony system. We first put the Hasselblad to use when we started shooting for the latest Hasselblad Masters book, 1,5 years ago. That‘s what you came here for, right? Later we‘ll discuss the circumstances under which medium format sensors really play out their strengths, because – spoiler! - bigger is not always better regarding the sensor. Let‘s start with a stand-alone intro to the medium format systems. All photos seen in this post are edited with the True Romance Preset Pack (available here). We will show sample pictures in this article, but don‘t expect RAWs and don‘t expect a neutral examination. I see people choosing one over the other for the wrong reasons time and time again, so I will share my point of view. The benefits and disadvantages of three very different systems and most of all, for which kind of scenarios those benefits matter. This is subjective and in the context of paid photo jobs that require us and our equipment to deliver top quality. Our genuine experience of using medium format in comparison to a full frame system – don‘t expect measurements, pictures of brick walls or scientific data.
