I love using these old Zeiss folders and bought this to use as a specialist landscape camera.

OK, so it's not very scientific. The film is different and the asa is different, the Hasselbad has a ND Grad darkening the blue of the sky, but this isn't a straight competition between the cameras it is an apreciation of both.
In the lower images there are good and bad points in each of the images, the Ziess (left) seems richer and seems to have controlled the highlights better but there is a red/magenta cast, the Hasselblad ( right) has more detail and a more realistic colour rendition.
I just thought it would be worth pointing out that even inexpensive old medium format cameras can produce images comparable to much more expensive kit.

I have shot this barn quite a few times and felt that it was time to have a go at it with my old Zeiss camera.
Strange to think that since the camera I shot this with was made this barn has had time to be built, used and fall into disrepair whilst the camera goes on and is still as good as ever at what it was made for.
