I’m on Hasselblad’s persona non grata list

I learned indirectly today (not through Hasselblad, which has never contacted me), that the review I wrote on the Hasselblad H3D-39 has earned me Hasselblad’s enmity.

I’ve got to call it like I see it, tell the truth, which is to say that not only was the H3D-39 I tested a flaky turd, but that a company that operates in this despicable way is one I will never do business with. I encourage you to ask around about the reliability of the H2/H3 system before even considering Hassleblad (that’s a hint based on what I’ve learned!). And think about what a closed (proprietary) system like Hasselblad’s means before you spend $40K on their medium format system. My advice: take your business to PhaseOne or another medium format vendor like Leaf, Sinar, etc.
