I recently decided to splurge and buy myself a present in the form of a Hasseblad SWC. This is one of those cameras that I’ve wanted for years, decades even, and I’ve never been able to justify the cost. However, after more than a year of figure I deserve something special just for me.
So what is a Hasselblad SWC? Well, basically it is a medium format Hasselblad camera built around a very nice wide angle lens; the 38mm Biogon f/4.5. By medium format standards a 38mm lens is quite wide. It’s equivalent to 21mm on a full frame digital body. I’ve only used the camera for a couple of sessions and I’m happy to say that the camera and the lens lives up to the hype. I plan on doing a more in-depth review at some point in the future but for now I couldn’t hold off from sharing some results.
I had the wonderful pleasure of working with a model who could effortlessly pull off some rather amazing contortions. We had a ton of fun and the wonderful shapes and curvy poses she was able to do made a perfect paring with the Hasselblad SWC.
More to come soon!
