Overview — Hasselblad H2

The Hasselblad H2 is a modular medium format SLR camera built around the Hasselblad H lens mount, offering compatibility with a range of H-system lenses. At its core is a medium format sensor delivering 22MP resolution and a maximum image output of 4080x4080 pixels — a square format well suited to studio and commercial work. The ISO range runs from 6 to 6400, giving photographers access to a notably low base ISO that supports controlled, low-noise captures in bright or studio lighting conditions.

The autofocus system combines phase detection and contrast detection, operating from a single central focus point, which reflects the deliberate, considered shooting style typical of medium format work. The flash system includes a built-in measurement system for non-TTL flashes and supports flash sync at all shutter speeds up to 1/800s — a genuine advantage for location and studio flash users. The viewfinder is an optical 90° reflex type, providing a direct, real-time view of the scene.

Storage is via CompactFlash. The body is constructed from plastic and metal, weighs 820g, and measures 155 x 117 x 89 mm. No image stabilization, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth is present.

A dot matrix LCD on the grip handles settings display.

The 22MP medium format sensor delivers a maximum resolution of 4080x4080 pixels, producing square-format files with significant detail. The ISO range of 6 to 6400 — with a particularly low minimum of ISO 6 — makes it well suited to studio environments and controlled lighting conditions.

For flash work, the H2 offers a flash sync at all shutter speeds up to 1/800s along with a built-in measurement system for non-TTL flashes and a standard ISO hot shoe. The optical 90° reflex viewfinder gives a clear, real-time view.

Images are saved to CompactFlash (CF) cards. The body weighs 820g and measures 155 x 117 x 89 mm, constructed from plastic and metal. There is no image stabilization, no weather sealing, and no wireless connectivity.
