Not much substance provided to that opinion?
I know a professional nature photographer using H1 for his work. You can
have a
look at his work on the Samfoto website; his name is Svein Grønvold. Since
he's
dependent on his tool for his income, he'd be out of business if it was
"strictly a studio item".
Most of the film-based MedFs had a problem with sealing around the
detachable
magazines. The Pentax 645 insert solution was much better in this respect,
and
also providing more rigor to the body itself compared to the competition.
I was
curious to hear if the H1 was somewhat better in this respect than was the
old
6x6 'Blad systems, but apparently it's neither worse nor better.
Probably every camera conceived is used by somebody outdoors. However, it is
obvious that the Hasselblad was designed for studio and indoor shooters like
wedding photographers etc (BTW like most MF equipment). Another camera that
comes to mind is the Contax 645. Perhaps the only MF equipment that is meant
for and marketed towards outdoor use is the Pentax MF cameras....
