Kevin handed me the camera and showed me some basic features and I began to shoot some images. Traveling in Antarctica and making our way through the Gullet provided some remarkable opportunities and presented some extreme challenges for any camera. Later that day, I downloaded the files to my computer and opened them in Capture One. I was stunned by what was on the screen! I have never seen images on my computer screen with the clarity, resolution and dynamic range that these images possessed. Zoom in as far as you want and they were remarkable. I called some of the other photographers over to see what I was seeing- my question was- Tell me you have ever seen a better image, ever?  Clearly the answer was no! I was scheduled to upgrade my Hasselblad systems to the new H3DII-50 but that would be a step in the wrong direction.

The P65+ will give me the best file possible! In my landscape work I would like to be able to capture all that moved me to make the photograph in the first place without compromise. Phase Ones P65+ frees me from those concerns and instills complete confidence knowing what I have framed in all its beauty will be waiting on the screen.

I love traveling to places that are extreme- Antarctica, Namibia, Iceland- and Phase One has demonstrated that this is a back that works regardless of the environment and weather. I have had to put my Hasselblad system away many times because of weather conditions- no more missed shots, or settling for a lower resolution file from my DSLR. To me that is very exciting!

Remarkable! It was surprising to be handed a camera system without having any prior testing or experimenting and be immediately comfortable enough with it to produce some fine work. Simple, intuitive controls meant less time scrolling thru menus and more time in the viewfinder. The camera was well balanced, solid and fit well in my hand. The best compliment was it never got in the way of taking pictures. I was able to keep my attention on the passing scenery.
