So sad that Metz Mecatech disapeared :'(
One last look at the Hasselblad cameras that were part of a hands-on demonstration at the National Portrait Gallery.
The H6D-50c Medium Format DSLR camera and the Hasselblad X1D-50c mirrorless medium format camera both use the Sony 50MP digital sensor, and they are not alone in this. The Hasselblad CFV-50c digital back that I currently use with a V-series 501CM body also incorporates this sensor, so I already have an appreciation of how wonderful the images can be with the H6D and X1D.
It is very unfortunate that various circumstances have delayed the completion of development and the bedding-in of mass production of the X1D body and lenses. I am sure that I would have walked away with an X1D-50c and an XCD 90mm f/3.2 lens if they had been available in boxes on the way out from the event. But such was not the case :-(

Photography notes ...
The details of how the individual photographs were acquired and post-processed can be found on the Flickr pages referenced above.
Collage production ...
Flickr - To produce this collage, I opened the Flickr iOS app on my iPad Mini (v2, "with Retina") and screen captured the basic Photostream composite image (2048 x 1536 pixels).
Snapseed - Cropped the image and output an image with 1742 x 1283 pixels.
Filterstorm - Added a series of borders to the image (10W, 5B, 10W) and output an image with 1792 x 1333 pixels.
EXIF Editor - Transferred the EXIF data from the image shown in the lower right corner to the collage.

The Australian Hasselblad representatives came to the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra on December 6 2016, bringing with them the two latest cameras in the Hasselblad family.
And here are the two cameras together; the Hasselblad H6D-50c Medium Format DSLR camera on the left, and the Hasselblad X1D-50c mirrorless medium format camera on the right. Also shown are an additional lens for each of the bodies. We are looking at the HCD 35-90mm f/4.0-5.6 lens on the H6D body and the HC Macro 120mm f/4.0 lens on the table on the left. The XCD 45mm f/3.5 lens is on the X1D body and the XCD 90mm f/3.2 lens is on the table to the right.
[ I shall not be looking at flash options here, but would note the Metz unit mounted on the hot shoe of the X1D: Metz mecablitz 52 AF-1 digital. ]

Photography notes ...
The photograph was taken using the following hardware ...
- iPhone 7 Plus.
I acquired the photograph (4032 x 3024 pixels) handheld with an ISO of 125, exposure time of 1/4 seconds, and an aperture of f/1.8. The iPhone flash was not used.
Post-processing ...
- I downloaded the photographs from my iPhone 7 Plus to the MacBook Air 11" using a lightning/USB cable and the iExplorer app (Macroplant).
- Sometimes I download the images taken on a shoot over WiFi using PhotoSync (touchbyte GmbH). Notably, I have found that iExplorer does not handle properly the images that have been edited using the native Apple iPhone "Photos" app (i.e., it will only transfer the original image, not the edited image).
- Following download, I viewed and sorted the photographs that were taken using XnViewMP (Pierre-e-Gougelet) or Lightroom (Adobe Systems Incorporated).
Lightroom - Imported the image into Lightroom.
Lightroom - Used the Spot Removal Tool cover up the distracting visual effect of bits of fluff on the tablecloth.
Lightroom - Made various lighting and color adjustments to the image.
Lightroom - Cropped the image retaining the original 4:3 aspect ratio
(3467 x 2600 pixels).
Lightroom - Exported the image to JPEG format with maximum quality.
PhotoSync - Copied the JPEG file to my iPad Mini for any final processing, review, enjoyment, and posting to social media.

I couldn't resist publishing another shot of the X1D-50c. The XCD 45mm f/3.5 lens is on the X1D body and the XCD 90mm f/3.2 lens is on the table to the right. The flash unit is the Metz mecablitz 52 AF-1 digital.
Flash doesn't factor into my photography (at present!) and I must admit to feeling that the beautiful lines of this camera are better served without a flash unit on top. My attitude to flash units could have been subconsciously formed by my early experiences with Flashcubes and Magicubes - These were chemical, disposable flash units used with Instamatic cameras in the 1960's. They were very hot when used, sometimes smelly, and always a bit unreliable. They wouldn't be very likely to leave a good impression!?
