Hasselblad's compact modular medium format — the 907X 50C, 50MP CMOS, X mount, 2020.
The Hasselblad 907X 50C was released in 2020 as a compact modular medium-format camera pairing the small 907X body with the CFV II 50C digital back. Its design deliberately echoes Hasselblad's classic V-system cameras, and the back can also be fitted to older V-system bodies, linking the digital system to the company's film heritage.
The 907X 50C is a mirrorless medium-format camera with a 50-megapixel CMOS sensor in the 44x33mm medium-format size and the Hasselblad X lens mount, and with an adapter it can use V-system and older lenses. It has no built-in viewfinder, composing on a tilting rear touchscreen with an optional finder available, and the leaf shutter sits in the X-system lenses. It records video and is designed around a slow, considered way of working.
It suits studio, portrait and landscape photographers who want medium-format quality in a very compact modular form, and the tilting screen and waist-level style of use recall the classic Hasselblad handling. The leaf-shutter lenses give high flash-sync speeds useful in the studio, though the screen-based composition and deliberate pace do not suit fast action.
When buying, check the shutter actuation count, inspect the sensor for dust and marks, and test the tilting touchscreen for dead pixels and hinge play. Confirm the back-to-body connection is secure, check the card-door and battery-door latches, and verify the battery and charger are available. As a CMOS body there is no CCD-corrosion concern, so focus on sensor cleanliness, the screen, and the condition and flash-sync function of the leaf-shutter lenses.
