The Hasselblad 907X CFV 100C is a vintage-styled medium-format camera that is so much fun to use that it's easy to ignore its shortcomings.
is a fantastic, stylish, and — perhaps most importantly — charming camera kit. The camera and digital back combo honor Hasselblad’s illustrious analog past while incorporating the company’s most modern digital imaging technology.
The 907X’s front shutter release and dial are nice to have, especially if you don’t use the optional Hasselblad 907X Control Grip . Without this optional grip, which adds quite a bit of bulk to the camera kit and includes physical controls, photographers must either use the digital back’s touchscreen to take photos or press the front shutter release. It’s a pretty old-school setup.I almost exclusively shot with the Control Grip attached in my short time with the 907X and CFV 100C.
The CFV 100C is also a lot like the CFV 50C. However, there are a few differences worth mentioning. For starters, the CFV 100C weighs 120 grams less than the CFV 50C, a significant weight reduction. The shed weight also comes with a slight slimming down, although that’s not noticeable . Nonetheless, the 907X and CFV 100C combination is the smallest and lightest high-resolution medium-format camera on the market.
Hasselblad’s fantastic lenses have a lot to do with that, too, of course, and I had a few great primes to choose from, including the XCD 28P f/4, XCD 38V f/2.5, XCD 55V f/2.5, and XCD 90V f/2.5. The 90V is stunning, by the way, but that’s neither here nor there. I am curious how Hasselblad arrived at 15 stops of dynamic range. However, the X2D 100C — and thus the CFV 100C — is still highly performant. It offers a dynamic range beyond any full-frame camera that does not use a special multi-shot. Larger medium-format sensors, like the Phase One IQ4 150MP and IQ3 100MP, still best the smaller medium-format X2D 100C and GFX, but that’s to be expected. There’s no substitute for bigger image sensors.
