Hasselblad ;)
- frostburg 5y agoVery different. Hasselblad was a top choice for the pro market (and used by rich amateurs, like Leica), Minolta never really managed to breach that market (this camera was the most significant attempt).
- nix23 5y agoHasselblad was the opposite of Leica, big format vs small format
- frostburg 5y agoMedium format (large format starts from 4x5 inches in modern usage), but while the professional applications were different the use by wealthy amateurs was basically the same. (I would know: https://i.imgur.com/VpC8cJB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VpC8cJB.jpg )
- aaronbrethorst 5y agoUsing your smartphone to photograph your Hasselblad focused on your Leica is certainly a flex.
- ceearrbee 5y agoI would never consider Hasselblad to be an underdog, they're a premium brand that has massive name recognition that continues to today. I dream of being able to afford as Hasselblad, instead I'm here with my Kiev's and Minoltas!
- nix23 5y agoYeah you are right, but in the mind of non photographers hasselblad is a ~no name (except for the apollo mission's interested), BTW: My dad had more minolta's then nikon's in the 80`s-90's...well and some Leica's...and one hasselblad (as a child i seen that monster as a terrible thing from 1900)
