One of the photos below came from a Hasselblad camera and medium format digital back and another from an iPhone 5S. Which one?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the lighting setup for the iPhone:<\/p>\n

and the Hasselblad H1 with Leaf Aptus digital back:<\/p>\n

This shot was captured with the iPhone:<\/p>\n

It had some post-production (a video will be posted later), it\u2019s usual for any studio shots we do.
\nTo make thing clean, here is the unprocessed, un-sharpened 100% crop of the iPhone 5s shot:<\/p>\n

The iPhone has a wider lens than the one I had on the Hasselblad (120mm HC macro<\/span><\/a>), and it is evident. However, the image quality at web size is almost as good as the one from the Hasselblad.<\/p>\n

For the reference: this this below was done using Cambo Ultima D<\/span><\/a> view camera with wide angle lens and Leaf Aptus DB. See how different this glass looks like, on the corrected perspective distortions with tilt\/shift movements.<\/p>\n
