One is always on the run and on the prowl. The light is also ever changing, with weather systems and cloud cover sweeping in and out. Great shooting light last a long time, but it also can be exhausting, especially when driving hundreds of kilometers a day over dirt roads to get to some of the better locations. Iceland in mid-summer has about 20+ hours of daylight. Most of the observations and conclusions made there remain unchanged, with this page simply offering some additional anecdotal experience. If you have not already read my initial review and comparisonI urge you to do so before reader further here. What you have below then are some of my impressions from working with both backs in the field, observations about the most telling differences, and a few small comparison tests that I was able to get in between my return home, recovery, and the necessity of returning the loaner back.

Consequently, and though Leaf kindly extended my loan for another week, I never was able to run the extensive series of tests that I had intended, and not with the scientific rigour that Bill’s contribution would have added. This causes dizziness and nausea, and it laid me low, putting me in the hospital for a day, and also delaying my return home. As luck would have it, this was not to be.Īs we approached the city mid-day I was suddenly affected by a medical condition called Labyrinthitis.

My plan was that on the last day of the trip, in Reykjavik, Bill Atkinson (my driving and shooting partner on this trip) and I would spend half a day running a full suite of comparison tests between the two backs. I shot for several days with both backs, though mostly with the P45, for reason’s which I’ll elaborate shortly. I have a spare Hasselblad H1 to work with, alongside my H2, and so I was able to have both backs on a body at all times, switching between my 35mm, 55-100mm and 210mm lenses. Leaf was very accommodating to this request, and just prior to my participation in the Adobe Lightroom Iceland Adventure, loaned me an Aptus 75 for the trip. Nevertheless, I really wanted an opportunity to shoot with both backs side by side, and to be able to conduct a few more thorough image comparisons. My conclusion was that both backs were capable of roughly similar image quality and that they differed primarily in their user interface and screen technology. My report was fairly comprehensive, though limited by the fact that I could not shoot with the same camera body and lens, so doing meaningful direct comparison’s wasn’t possible. In June, 2006, two months prior to this report, I had an opportunity to test and shoot with an Aptus 75 back alongside my Phase One P45.
