Hi!
Im new here on this forum.
Very glad i found it, cause i recently bought a H3D 31, wich im looking forward to get to know better this weekend in the studio.

I was surfing the internet for while now just to read about what the differences are between the H3d and the H3DII, but i cant find anything.

So just because im curious (and to be sure i did a good buy , what is the maindifferences between the two really?

Thanks in advance, and hope to see you around here!

thanks Keith for the answer.
Well that was some, but i think still i can be saticefied with the H3D.
 

I bought it used but it was in really good shape.

Is it only on the H3D that you can put a film back on or is that possible also on the H3DII?

Correct!  This will bring your camera up to date.

Right, the H3DII will not accept a film back.

The H3D is a great camera, don't think anything less of it.

Kind regards,
