Which should you buy?
Collectors, Fine Art & V-System Users — Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C (2023): An engineering icon — the 907X + CFV 100C bridges Hasselblad V lenses from 1957 with a 100MP digital back in a form that is unmistakably Hasselblad.
Fine Art, Portrait & Entry-Level Medium Format — Hasselblad X1D II 50C (2019): The most accessible Hasselblad XCD body — 50MP medium-format quality for those who cannot stretch to the X2D 100C.
Full-Frame Value — Z5 II (2024): The most accessible full-frame mirrorless — dual card slots, weather sealing, and Nikon colour at a sensible price.
