I got the first developed film of my Hassie today! Very exited about the results; maybe not very interesting to look at, but now I'm sure that the cam is light-closed :D

and a 100% crop:







Woo! Excited! And planning on using it more often :D

great stuff, very interesting... what film/developer did you use, and what did you use to scan them with? looking forward to seeing more.

I used Kodak 400 TMax film, developed by a lab, and scanned with an Epson 4990 Photo Perfection.

Edited for contrasts and brightness in PS.

to add:

I'm the most content with the first shot. That DoF is just the way I wanted it, not too much noise (good exposure, the other ones were a bit underexposed) and the light looks damn cool to me!

:D

Got a couple of others to scan, will post them here :)

Developed? What is this developing that you speak of?

I think that this is being discussed in this thread :-)

The guy beating the dead horse is all I had to see.

Here are two images that I shot with a Hasselblad 6x6 negative.

The first image is a panoramic of three individual shots joined together into one photograph. The Nikon 8000 scanner was used at 4,000x4,000 so the file size was about 256 MB. It was reduced to a JPEG and the size was downsized to fit the DPC format.



The second image was a single shot. Note the details and the richness of the colours. The Nikon 8000 scanner was used to produce a 56 MB file which was subsequently down-rez'd to what you see here.

as to your first impression - with that setup how would you compare the quality (resolution and shadow detail) to that of your 30d.

what kind of hassy? did i miss a thread?
 05/22/2007 10:05:57 PM · #21
So what do you get that is better from your Hassie? Larger prints or something? Not being sarcastic, I really don't know.

The reason I wanted a Hasselblad, is because I love the analog-photography. It makes me think a bit more about compo and lighting. This is the base of photography, while I came in with digital. I think analog is the way to really learn to look in a right way.

To be honest, the fun part for me is when I get the film back, developed. See if the shots are the way I wanted them. I worked with a Lubitel before, and that is a totally different quality then the Hasselblad, but not less fun!

The scanning part is still something I have to discover. I'm not satisfied yet about the quality of the photos (except the first one) and I want to check that out.

The difference with the 30D? Huge! Like I said in this post, I work so different with the Hasselblad. Can't try 10 times before getting the right shot, because Polaroids are pretty expensive (I do use my 30D to check the light because I don't have a lightmeter). Analog and digital are (IMO) so different from eachother quality speaking, but that is also because I have other goals with the different cameras. With the 30D I want clean shots, with the HB I choose for grain and planning on working more experimental...

If you know the scans are 7000px both sides, well, you can say that the prints can be huge, and the computer is slow ;)

shot in the city of Amsterdam, this is the water towards the FOAM-photo-museum.

WOO! I love my Hassie :P

Film is one of those things that needs to be seen in person, experienced, felt. When converted to digital, there's something lost in it. I understand, as I spent 20+ years doing film, 35mm & medium format, including having my own darkroom, b&w as well as color. Though it's been said that digital can do everything that film can, I'm not sure I completely agree, and it's based from a standpoint that isn't measured in bits & bytes.
Someday it will, it's inevitable.

I miss the entire manual/analog experience...

The silky smooth glide of great manual focus lens, the solid click of an aperture ring spinning around the lens, the mechanical feel as the shutter button actually released the shutter. Then there was the gentle rocking sound of a rinse tank in the dark room and the great texture of fiber based paper. I like digital for the freedom, but I do miss the film process.
