Hasselblad Made a Phone Attachment That Adds RAW and 10x Zoom
Big news in the world of mobile phone photography today. Motorola just announced a new Moto Mod for its Moto Z line of smartphones. It’s called the Hasselblad True Zoom, and it’s an attachment that adds RAW photography and 10x optical zoom.
The attachment gives your phone the design and ergonomics of a high-end compact camera, complete with a physical shutter button and zoom controls. A prominent lens on the front gives you 10x optical zoom, allowing you to shoot high-quality photos from a distance without the loss of resolution that digital zoom brings.
In the corner of the attachment is a Xenon flash that lets you capture artificially illuminated photos in dark environments.
Finally, the attachment allows your Moto Z phone to shoot RAW photos, to share them instantly with family and friends, and to have the mbe automatically backed up for 2 years through Google Photos.
Other specs of the Hasselblad True Zoom include a 12MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, a 25-250mm equivalent lens, an f/3.5-6.5 aperture, an ISO range of 100 to 3200, 1080p video recording, and 2 built-in microphones.
The Hasselblad True Zoom attachment will be available starting in September 2016 with a price tag of $250 through Verizon and $299 through Motorola.com.
P.S. The new Hasselblad True Zoom was announced alongside the new $408 Motorola Moto Z Play, a phone that boasts Motorola’s longest-lasting battery so far.
