NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I’m in a quandry about my medium format camera gear. I like the Hasselblad very well as a camera, but the digital back part of it has some shortcomings when used on a technical camera. The way my shooting style has evolved most of my medium format shooting is being done on a tech camera. So I spent this morning with a demo Phase One IQ 180 back at Digital Transitions. This is out their window looking accross 35th Street. Alpa Max camera with a 36mm Schneider APO lens and a Phase One IQ 180 back:
