Experience Hasselblad's Stunning Medium Format Cameras in Kyoto

In the bustling area of Shijo Kawaramachi in Kyoto, photography enthusiasts now have a unique opportunity to explore the latest in high-quality imaging technology. The Camera Naniwa Kyoto store has begun showcasing Hasselblad's cutting-edge medium format cameras, including the impressive 100-megapixel models. This initiative, made possible through a partnership with Sekido, Japan's official distributor for Hasselblad, allows visitors to not only view but actually handle and test these state-of-the-art cameras before making a purchase.

Hands-On Experience in the Heart of Kyoto

As more professional and amateur photographers seek to invest in high-end equipment, the demand for practical, hands-on experiences has grown. Recognizing this trend, the Camera Naniwa store has been strategically outfitted to provide a welcoming environment where customers can engage with Hasselblad's products directly. This allows potential buyers to truly appreciate the texture, color depth, and detail of images produced by Hasselblad cameras.

In particular, the store features the X2D II 100C and the 907X & CFV 100C, among other sought-after models. These cameras not only promise exceptional image quality but are designed to inspire creativity and elevate the photographic experience.

An Innovative Touch & Try Concept

The Camera Naniwa Kyoto store has adopted an innovative 'Touch & Try' concept, allowing enthusiasts to handle and experiment with various Hasselblad bodies and lenses at their leisure. This permanent installation bypasses the previously limited opportunities for equipment trials, typically found only at events or temporary exhibitions.

By providing this environment, the store serves as a crucial resource for photographers in Kyoto and the surrounding areas, enabling them to explore which camera suits their shooting style best. Here, technical specifications will soon fade into the background as visitors instead can focus on artistry and personal connection with the equipment.
