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 flexibility to the professional photog- rapher, and enables you to take full advantage of all that leading edge digital photography can offer.

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 finest lit surfaces. Images shot with a CF dig- ital back have unsurpassed clarity and sharpness. The 39 Mpix sensor produces the largest digital files cur- rently available for professional photography, making them ideal for the most demanding, high resolution printing applications and give the photographer increased flexibility and creative control when cropping or enlarging. The finest 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 effects with every shot. This means that your digital captures are automati- cally optimized to provide the finest 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 confident 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 specific color profile to suit a specific job in order to capture various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers, etc. Hasselblad has helped solve this dilemma, with the development of a new, powerful color profile 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 difficult colors reproduced easily and effectively.
