The Hasselblad 503CWD and 503CW/CFV
The Hasselblad CFV II digital back is
designed expressly for the 503CW
camera, but can turn most existing
Hasselblad V System cameras into a
digital workhorse.
The CFV II back is custom designed to
match the appearance and functionality
of the Hasselblad V System cameras
and uses a square format 16 megapixel
sensor that is 50% larger than even
the largest 35mm DSLRs. In addition,
the sensor used provide more pixels –
for better resolution – and larger pixels,
which means less image noise, better
dynamic range, and improved detail,
especially in highlight and shadow areas.

The Hasselblad CFV II combines time-
less design with modern technology,
featuring powerful digital workflow tools
such as Hasselblad’s Instant Approval
Architecture (IAA), an enhanced set of
feedback tools designed to drastically
simplify the image selection process,
and direct conversion to Adobe’s DNG
format in FlexColor and Phocus.
Other advanced features include
Hasselblad’s new Natural Color
Solutions and 3F RAW file format,
a choice of three separate storage
modes (choosing freely between the
ultimate portability of a CF card,
the ultra-fast 100GB Image Bank II,
or tethered computer hard drive
operation with extended controls), and
compati bility with large format cameras
using a V System interface plate.
Ultra fast storage with 100GB Imagebank II.

Resolution – why Bigger is Better
• A large sensor format is the key to achieving exceptional
image quality.
• A large sensor size allows the additional benefit of a larger
focusing screen and thus a larger viewfinder image.
• Compared to 35mm, medium-format lenses allow for smaller
apertures to be used maintaining a shallow depth-of-field,
with reduced lens aberrations.
• Since the medium-format frame size is larger, images do
not have to be enlarged as much, thereby improving the
resolution of the final image.
• Technological advances benefit all sensor sizes equally.
Larger sensors will always remain at the top of the scale.
• Medium-format lens resolution outperforms 35mm lens
resolution – compare our images to those from any 35mm
DSLR system.
Natural Color
The Hasselblad Natural Color Solution accurately reproduces
the full visible color spectrum – be it skin tones, special
pro duct colors, or difficult gradations – easily and effectively,
every time and with the use of a single color profile. Our
complete knowledge of the filter and sensor characteristics
of each individual camera has made this possible.
Optical Purity (Hasselblad H-system lenses)
Digital Auto Correction (DAC) is Hasselblad’s unique way of
digitally correcting for the optical phenomena that create minor
optical errors. Whether it is distortion, chromatic aberration or
vignetting, DAC automatically corrects for these errors without
struggling with sliders, numbers etc by using detailed lens
information that resides inside the RAW 3FR file.

Hasselblad Image Quality.
Resolution, Natural Color, Optical Purity, Clarity, and Detail are all key components in defining
superior image quality. Hasselblad’s Phocus imaging software provides both the automatic
solution and the toolset for individual workflow and image quality management.
