The air is thin at the top. Whether it’s Ferrari vs Lamborghini, or, of interest to photographers – Hasselblad vs Phase One – the two remaining leaders of the medium format world.
Every now and then it’s fun to pitch top contenders against each other, and when they are both kings of their respective hills, all the more so.
Today we have an exclusive review by our regular contributor Mark Dubovoy titled Hasselblad H3D 50 II Multishot Versus Phase One P65+ / 645AF.
What makes this particularly interesting is that the 50II back from Hasselblad is a multi-shot, in theory a technology able to produce higher image quality than that from a Bayer array, as used in the Phase One P65+. But the Phase is a higher resolution back, so how will it all work out?
I’ll bet you’ll be surprised.

When I do portfolio reviews with students and I discuss an image of theirs that I don’t feel has been successful, the question that I ask is – What is it about? This seemingly innocent question is, in my experience, one which causes any photographer to reflect on their own work in a way that is necessarily part of the creative process.
A new essay titled What is it About? – Deconstructing an Image uses today’s Home Page photograph as an example of how this process is done.
