sync speed of the H3Dii

[Emilmedia]

Is it the same as on the H4D 1/800?

[Dustbak]

Since it uses the same lenses... Yes.

Hasselblad H system flash syncs at all flash speeds  the fastest being 1/800.
You can do all the high speed sync things the Phase One DF and LS lenses can do, but just one stop slower.
A 1 stop ND filter and more flash power and you can get the same sun control.

There are some very good examples of the Hasselblad High Speed sync capabilities in a previous thread:

And to mention that 1/1600 sync speed on PhaseOne needs Profoto's AirSync + V Grip Air.

And a later back..... + backs onwards i think.

however ... in the real world syncing at 1/800th is fast and having this ability solves a lot of problems....

If you shoot in a hot country after 9:30 am (weddings or interiors) then 1/1600 might be needed...

I just think we are lucky to have not one but two specialist manufacturers providing us with these terrific lenses.

Hassy V and Bronica and Rollei were 1/500th not that long ago.

Correction: you do not need a V-Grip for 1/1,600 sync.

An Air transmitter helps but a simple sync lead will do as well

For Phase One it's the P40+/P65+ and all IQ backs.

The P20+/21+/30+/45+ and all earlier backs would sync at 1/800th max.

Where I live (northern parts of Sweden) we don't have a lot of hard sunlight. Maybe during the middle of the day I'll need 1/800 otherwise I think 1/400 will be enough in most situations.

Another thing to keep in mind is that with the Hasselblad H system you still have high speed flash sync if you use the Hasselblad H tilt shift adapter.
The Schnieder tilt shift lens on the DF can only use the focal plane shutter.

For Phase One it's the P40+/P65+ and all IQ backs.

In addition, any Leaf Aptus-II from around mid-2010 will do 1/1,600 and previous ones can be upgraded
