Welcome to Hasselblad!
The Hasselblad CF line of digital backs oers 22 and 39 Mpix digital capture at a professional
level for unbeatable results. Together with the option of an i-Adapter, Hasselblad’s inter-
changeable camera interface, this capability extends beyond medium format into the world
of large format too. In addition, the option of true color multi-shot capture provides the pos-
sibility of moiré free captures in world class exhibiting stunning quality. The CF line matches
the functionality of the Hasselblad H2 camera perfectly, giving you access to the H System’s
range of high performance, central shutter-based lenses, and extended digital features such
as Digital APO Correction technology and Instant Approval Architecture.
In short, the Hasselblad CF line brings unprecedented exibility to the professional photog-
rapher, and enables you to take full advantage of all that leading edge digital photography
can oer.
22 or 39 million pixels
The CF line uses a 22 or 39 megapixel sensor that is more than twice the physical size of today’s 35mm sen-
sors. This sensor holds more and larger pixels, which guarantees superior image quality and provides moiré
free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the nest lit surfaces. Images shot with a CF dig-
ital back have unsurpassed clarity and sharpness. The 39 Mpix sensor produces the largest digital les cur-
rently available for professional photography, making them ideal for the most demanding, high resolution
printing applications and give the photographer increased exibility and creative control when cropping or
enlarging. The nest image capture quality is possible when used on an H System camera as Hasselblad’s
unique Digital APO Correction lens optimization techniques are accessible. In addition, Hasselblad’s Natural
Color Solution optimizes color reproduction.
In a studio environment, the CF line enables you to increase the color resolution of your captures by means of
a unique multiple-exposure technique controlled by the optional Multi-Shot Module (patent pending). The
result is unsurpassed color resolution and absolutely moiré free images. The Hasselblad CF can be upgraded
with the 4*Res module at any time. The Hasselblad CFMS comes with the Multi-Shot Module already built in.
Today’s photographers demand higher resolution, less noise, and improved composition, all of which the
CF digital backs provide. Every feature and aspect of their performance represents the superior quality and
design that go into each Hasselblad product.
H2 platform for Digital APO Correction
In conjunction with an H2, CF backs capture an extended set of metadata and then perform an automated
correction for color aberration eects with every shot. This means that your digital captures are automati-
cally optimized to provide the nest detail that a given lens can resolve. We have named this feature “Digital
APO Correction” (DAC), signifying the digital, APO chromatic correction of the images that takes place.
Implementation of this feature includes detailed mapping of each H system lens model, ensuring that each
image represents the best that your equipment can produce. We are condent that the image quality you
achieve as a result of the DAC functionality will make you - and your customers - look twice.
Unique Hasselblad Natural Color Solution
In the past, color management solutions have imposed limitations on professional digital photographers,
because of the need to choose a specic color prole to suit a specic job in order to capture various skin
tones, metals, fabrics, owers, etc. Hasselblad has helped solve this dilemma, with the development of a
new, powerful color prole to be used with its FlexColor imaging software. Working with the new Hasselblad
Natural Color Solution enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with dicult
colors reproduced easily and eectively.
