I used to have a Hassy about a decade ago; sorry, so extra or unwanted attention! BTW: Do you happen to be good looking? I'm kinda plain/sorta ugly - oh, and old😢. I'd actually like the attention.
I disguised my Hasselblad X1dii six months ago for the same reasons, but I included placing electrical tape over the orange shutter, all the logos and even went so far as using silver tape to make the corners appear worn through the black coating. I still draw the same attention and get asked questions which I politely answer; I think the large lens gives it away. "Is that a Hasselblad?"
Some photographers cover the logos on their camera bodies simply because the white text or logo on a black body is very high contrast and tends to draw the subject's eye. Now try convincing anyone to put tape over their little red dot.
I'm the only guy on Maui with a 907x. It's a scene every time I whip my camera out in public. I stay home mostly, and take pictures around the house. Didn't die in the fires, so greatful to be here.
What a wasting time video content . Wasting time to make it and also wasting time for people to watch it. Whats that even mean..?! SO, what...? I have PhaseOne, Do I have to hide the logo because people might ask me questions. What a staffed up world we living in..!!
I did not ever have the feeling that the Hasselblad logo is drawing any attention. Here in Germany it seems that the brand is not that well-known, at least outside of the photographer bubble.
I was surprised when everyone had to ask “what camera is that? Hasselblad?” And I have to explain it’s a brand from Sweden. And the next question of “how much is it?” Always makes me uncomfortable. Now that the logo is not at display, I think people just assume it’s another Nikon or Canon
If if give to pyschological peace of mind, do want you want to do. However guising the hasselblad logo, will not help prevent from be robbed or being stolen due to unique shape of the camera body and it the organge shutter button. Every thieve will recognize the camera. However I do wish this expersive camera body would have similar security measuera as every smartphone has. Hasselblad did do a very very bad job in this regard. As a hasselblad enthusias I dislike that you modded your camera.
Dislike Absolutely wasting people time with this kind of video. Curiosity is the best way to make connections and get knowledge. If you worry to someone stole it then why you are in street?? Stay at home, close doors and windows. Dislike
