Hasselblad to launch new and exclusive medium format camera body

The H5X, which boasts latest capture functionality and works seamlessly with Hasselblad’s world-leading H System lenses, comes after the spring launch of the world’s first 50MP CMOS Sensor H5D-50c camera and the summer launch of the new H5D-50c MS, H5D-200c MS and the CFV-50c CMOS digital back.

The H5X, which will retail at Euro 4,595 without viewfinder (or Euro 5,795 with viewfinder) will provide the same extensive functionality as the H1 and H2 cameras but with a number of new functions such as Full HC and HCD lens compatibility, including HCD 24; HCD 28 and the HCD 35-90 zoom lens or HVD 90x viewfinder optimised for 36×48 mm format.

Michele Channer, Hasselblad International Sales Director said: “This cutting edge camera body, which can be purchased with no trade-in required, further extends the Hasselblad capture palette for photographers. Based on the widely-acclaimed H5D range this unit is compatible not only with most of the digital backs from older H System products but also most of the third party digital backs. Additionally, photographers who love shooting film now have access to this highly advanced camera body.”
