The H3DII-50 is the top model of Hasselblad’s H3DII family, and as the fifth generation of their medium format dSlR camera system, sets a new standard for image detail. The 50Mpix sensor is implemented in the 48mm full-frame house also used for the renowned H3DII-39 camera.

This 36mmx48mm sensor size has two advantages. It provides the basis for advanced and well balanced lens performance and it allows you to work with Hasselblad's revolutionary HTS 1.5 tilt/shift adapter which by enlarging the image circle make room for +/- 18mm shift and +/-10 degrees of tilt.

With its unique large and bright viewfinders, its wide range of HC and HCd lenses, which match the best of the Hasselblad icon lenses from Carl Zeiss, and its wide choice of accessories, the H3DII-50 is the ultimate camera choice for the discerning professional photographer who will simply not settle for second best.

In addition to the added-value options inherent in the Hasselblad camera system, it is Hasselblad image quality that stands out the most. The H3DII-50 has been developed around a new digital camera engine, which delivers increased lens performance and a new level of image sharpness. By focusing on the integrated digital camera architecture, Hasselblad is able to offer the full benefits of professional medium-format digital cameras with the ease of-use found in the best 35mm dSlRs.

With the H3DII architecture as a base, Hasselblad has developed the ultra high- performing HCD 28mm lens, designed and optimized solely for digital image capture. Image quality is lifted to a level yet unseen in digital photography, including automatic digital correction for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution delivers out-of-the-box image quality only achievable in a true digital camera system.

The H3DII-50 camera system has been especially designed to meet the demands of the high-end commercial photographer who demands both flexibility and ultimate image quality. the H3dii-50 includes:

  • highest image resolution from 50Mpixel sensor
  • the freedom to choose between eye-level and waist-level view- finders
  • the choice of combining point-and–shoot and tilt/shift to solve creative commercial challenges
