Who usually uses Leica and Hasselblad?

Leica is the emperor of 135, and Hasselblad is the emperor of 120. They have done their best in their respective fields. For example, during World War II, German, American, British and Russian armies all used Leica, and most of the precious photos of World War II were taken by Leica, which experienced the most cruel and arduous environmental test in human history. Another example is Hasselblad, who used Hasselblad camera to land on the moon. Therefore, these two brands have become legends and have risen to the category of luxury goods.

The biggest advantage of Leica and Hasselblad is the unparalleled optical performance of the lens. From the performance of the camera itself, many brands may be better than them, but the lens alone is incomparable. For example, Leica's M50/2 DR lens in the 1950s has been connected to Sony A7R for more than 60 years, and the resolution of 36 million has not been squeezed to the limit. However, many Japanese high-end shots in the 1990s have already taken A7R.

Although Leica is very expensive, according to the income level of white-collar workers in China, you can still buy a set with two years' savings. It is not a problem to use Leica film camera for 50 or 60 years. Although the digital age is fast now, judging from the current situation of Leica M8, the basic problem of 10 for Leica digital cameras is not big, and Leica lenses are universal. The old lens from decades ago can still be used on Leica digital cameras.

As for Hasselblad, it is mostly used for commercial photography, and the quality of 120 is not as good as the so-called 5D3. If you open a photo studio to take wedding photos, Canon Nikon's all-digital camera is enough. If it is used to shoot products, such as cars and jewelry, 135 all-digital camera can't hold it at all. It's basically a 120 digital camera or even a larger frame. Photographers with money will use Hasselblad, and those without money will use Fuji+Freescale or mamia.
