PERSONAL NOTES

I had the chance to shoot on one of those wide Hasselblad, the 903SWC. Image quality is amazing, sharpness is there, corner to corner.

The thing that impressed me the most is the viewfinder. It's, by far, the best viewfinder I used, and I saw many.


Hasselblad 903SWC Viewfinder

When you put your eye to the finder, you notice a bubble level, so your horizon is straight. Moreover, in the bottom of the finder, there is a kind of bi-focal zone where you see the details on the lens. You perfectly can read where your focus is, and you can see all the detail about your depth of field. So you can compose and focus without having the need to get your eye out of the finder. Just wow!


CONCLUSION

If you have the chance to shoot with a Hasselblad 903SWC, jump on the occasion, because it's a magnificent finder!
