This month’s reviews start with a new release from a storied photography brand. While the Hasselblad 907X isn’t actually new, the CFV 100C medium-format digital back definitely is – it offers users 100MP of resolution, doubling what’s available when using the CFV 50C digital back, which was released in 2020.
As the CFV 100 can also be used with Hasselblad 200 and 500 cameras, this latest cutting-edge tech is doing its bit for sustainability by offering a new lease of life to older cameras.
Also tested this month is a trio of new lenses. The Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM is a new affordable super-telephoto for wildlife, sports and action shooters, while the Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro for L-Mount cameras racks up a few world-firsts in terms of design and features.
Plus, the Viltrox AF 27mm F1.2 Pro is a ’pro’ lens for Fujifilm X and Nikon Z APS-C bodies but with a consumer price tag – discover what our reviewer made of it, from page 118.
