First Impressions: Hasselblad H Lens Adapter for Leica S2

17.07.12

My findings were that the Leica lenses were much, much sharper. These two images were taken with a near equivalent Leica lens.

Conclusions

While this whole session lasted for only around three hours, it did provide me with enough of a real world experience to give a couple of first impressions. If you’re an S2 owner and want to expand your lens lineup, Hasselblad does make many more affordable lenses. If you plan on stopping the lenses down for your work (which many studio photographers will do) then I encourage you to save some money and spring for the Hassy lenses to obtain more than enough sharpness. With the left over money, you can either make critical investments into your workflow management tools, color calibration , or even lighting.

Revisiting The Panasonic G1: Is The Micro Four Thirds Old-Timer Still Any Good?

17.07.12
The Panasonic G1 + 14-45mm kit lens. Oldie but Goldie?

When the Panasonic G1 was introduced in late 2008, it marked the beginning of a completely new camera system called Micro Four Thirds. What set this system apart from most other interchangeable-lens systems of that time was its lack of a swing mirror and optical viewfinder, thus drastically reducing the flange-back-distance (distance from mount to sensor) and making possible a much more compact design of both camera body and lenses. When the Micro Four Thirds system was first introduced to the public, no one had any idea that in a few years from then, mirrorless electronic viewfinder systems would become serious competitors to DSLRs. Rather, it was an interesting idea that Olympus and Panasonic had conceived, but it would remain to be seen if this was more than just a neat gimmick.
