H1 body, or .. H3DII

<p>I've been wanting to get H3DII, but recently saw a good price for H1 body.<br>

Question to anyone who has had experience with both -- concerning picture quality only, is there a significant difference?<br>

i.e. if final photo quality has virtually no difference, I will probably go with H1.</p>

<p>I had the H1 for quie awhile and while I can't compare it to the H3DII I can tell you it is simply wonderful on every single level for 120.<br>

Now, IF you decide to go with a digi back for the H1 this is what I found out and Did. Hasselblad (Ixpress) released the V96C for the 500x bodies and then the 96c for the H1 et. al. The 96c was about 3 thousand $ more expensive. IT'S the same exact back with the V96c having black tape over the adapter holes.<br>

To make the V96C work with the H1 all you have to do is purchase a 132 Adapter plate, put it on the digi back and get a Fuji69II sync cord. Works like a champ and you can use the back for your H1 and 500x if you had one. I was actually a bit po'ed at hassey for selling the same back for so much more money.<br>

Both the H1 film and the V96C worked perfectly and the results from the glass to the finder to the print were amazing.<br>

Why did I sell it? Still liked my V500 C/M better for both film and digi.<br>

Good Luck.</p>

<p>I have used both (and I currently own both).<br>
