Tested the H4D40 yesterday at Shriro house.
Great camera and alot of improvement since the H3D31 that I used whilst in Australia .
Good balance even with the big lenses.
Liked the HTS 1.5x tilt shift adapter that can be used with all lenses .
Would probably go 28, 50 ,80 , 120 mm.
Would love the 300 mm but probably hardly use.
So, any one has a 300mm to let go ?

Oh thanks!
..and are these easily available and cost effective? instead of spending 23k on a back for a 500C i might as well buy a H3D or something for about 30K..and use my old lenses if i am really keen?

Actually , a H4D 31 with HC 2.8,80mm lens ( kit set ) is $18k .
A used H3D 31 kit could be about $12k .
With the adapter , you can start to use all the good old lenses .
Some will look better than others , but you would be able to decide which better old lens to keep.

That sounds like an excited H4D user in delibrium after the new firmware upgrade !
H4D 40 and new H4D50 users recieved a nice present from Hasselblad .
The latest Hasselblad Bulletin had a free new firmware upgrade for thier H4Ds.
( features from the H4D60 ):-
Sensor unit firmware R500 and camera body unit firmware 2.2.4 for the H4D released some exciting new features.
Amongst other refinements these included...
- Rear LCD Resolution Boost ( much better sharpness )
- Camera grip info also displayed on the rear LCD,
- Two Directional Spirit Level.
Those not able to do this upgrade themselves can make an appointment with Shriro or get it done at HUG 6th Dec.

Decembers HUG was fun .
Dr Khoos Talk on travel was interesting .
It showed how a great camera could help a normal photographer look good .
( Most of the time he shoots in program mode ! )
Clifford talked about some Technicalities ( Too chim for me )
The H4Dx on display looked like a good upgrade for the H1,H2 users.
Linda , who takes care of the Zeiss lenses for testing was nice .
Bryan Kit Foongs MPA set was good and his tips were helpful .
The 4 models Maple , Amelia , Nataree and Bin were swee !
Thank Shriro for the tasty food by Jack and the Manfrotto Bag Lucky Draw prizes.
See you guys next HUG !
