Product Information

The Hasselblad CF-39MS Digital Back provides 39 megapixels of resolution and utilizes the Hasselblad "i-adapter" open camera interface. The CF back brings an impressive level of flexibility to professional digital photographer, including the choice of storage media (CF card, imagebank, or computer hard drive), camera body, lens and even shutter controller when used on a view camera body. All in all, a level of flexibility which added to Hasselblad's image quality expands the horizons of leading edge digital photography. Furthermore, the CF-39MS also adds the ability to take multiple images of still life subjects, thereby further improving image resolution and color accuracy thought the incorporation of the exclusive 4*Res module.

Features

• Large Format 36 x 48mm Digital Capture

Today's digital photography demands higher resolution, less noise, and improved compositional choice, The CF-39MS image sensor provides 39 Megapixels and is more than twice the physical size of today's 35mm sensors. Consequently the sensor holds more and larger pixels, which ensures the highest possible image quality and moiré free color rendering without gradation break-ups - in even the most subtley lit surfaces.

• Multi-shot for still-life Photos

When using the CF-39MS in a still-life studio environment, you can increase the color resolution of your captures by means of a unique Multi-shot technique controlled by the exclusive 4*Res module. The result is maximum resolution and absolutely moiré free images.

• Compatible with Multiple Cameras

By way of a simple 4-screw mounting plate, the CF back is easily attached to most professional medium-format SLR cameras and view cameras on the market. This simple compatibility allows you to bring optimal digital capture to your existing cameras and lenses with the convenience of using only one digital back.

• Unique Hasselblad Natural Color Solution

Normally troublesome subjects such as various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers, etc. are easily captured by using the powerful color profile - the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS). It works invisibly in the background in conjunction with the FlexColor imaging software, producing outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box results.

• DNG Workflow

The 3FR files can be converted into Adobe's raw image format DNG (Digital NeGative). In order to optimize the colors of the DNG file format, conversion from the 3FR must take place through FlexColor. The DNG file format enables RAW image files to be opened directly in Adobe Photoshop. Hasselblad image files carry a full set of metadata, including capture conditions, keywords and copyright, facilitating workflow with image asset management solutions.

• Instant Approval Architecture (IAA)

Building on the success of its Audio Exposure Feedback technology, Hasselblad has created Instant Approval Architecture (IAA), an enhanced set of feedback tools, designed to liberate the photographer from the selection process and to concentrate on the shoot. Audible and visible signals as well as recorded information in the file and in the file name all promote a quick and easy classification in the field or in the lab. Sorting becomes automatic, accessible and very fast, facilitating reviewing the best images for immediate client presentation.

• FlexColor Workflow for the Professional Photographer

FlexColor offers an image processing workflow with the highest degree of control for the studio photographer. In tethered operation, tools like overlay masking help bring productivity to advanced set composition. The latest FlexColor version allows the photographer to manipulate color temperature and compare image details across multiple images for precise image selection. FlexColor processes the raw 3FR files generated by the Hasselblad CF-39MS. FlexColor runs natively on both Macintosh and Windows computers and is licensed to allow you to provide free copies for all your co-workers and production partners.

• Exceptional Service and Support

Naturally, as with all Hasselblad products, the CF-39MS digital back affords access to the full range of Hasselblad service and support, ensuring that your investment will last a long time to come, and the latest firmware updates to your H-system back are always just a download away.
