Exactly. Any back will do that. It's simple sync mode. Reduces the 200 series to be the same as a 500 series camera.It looks like a sync cable from the back to the lens, i.e. shooting in C mode, using the lens shutter.
Arjuna,My apologies; part of the tripod head looked like the cable connection to the lens, but it does look like the cable is connected to the camera's flash socket (the digital back section is very brief): does that mean it only works at flash sync speed (1/90 s.) or slower?
Right you are Son ... good eye! I did frame grabs and lightened the images. What appears to be a cord hanging from the lens is actually a chair leg in the background.1. The lens is the 200 series lens with double blue strips
2. The cable is link to the body and not to the lens.
3. The mode was not set to C but to shutter speed above the C
Observe again!

So, we wait for David's report with fingers crossed.
You know Son, despite all the goings on about all these other big dollar digital back$, you just cannot discount the CFV. Darned thing is just fantastic ... the images are stellar, and the whole experience is just plain fun. While everyone is yaking about this back and that back, with wallets growing thinner and thinner, guys like John and his CFV are at the naval yard making eye popping photographs ...Marc,
I am like you love the Hasselblad 200 series system and so far only Sinar back is willing to give me the extra option to use on the 200 series body even if the outcome is only 1/90s max shutter speed which I hope not from what I remember. The Sinar back will also allow other camera systems to be mounted on so the flexibility is what I like. Today I am still using the Hasselblad CFV 16 meg DB for both the 500 and 200 series without any cable sync requirement.

Son
yes, makes me almost regret selling my 2000FCM eight years ago )))You know Son, despite all the goings on about all these other big dollar digital back$, you just cannot discount the CFV.

Yes, the 45/2.8 Contax!thanks to what info marc has made available and son's timely deal, I have been having fun with that hassey set, always did like the sq format. took some shots in a very dark spot...needed about 1sec at f2 and iso 100. couldn't remember how to get the shutter into b and stop down... also found out how a 110 keeps you back. anyone know a good wide?

On the 200 camera the speedy 50/2.8 is excellent ... but for the widest and bestists with the CFV, the 40mm f/4 CFE IF is the last word in wide angle excellence. Just set the aperture ring to the F mark and use it on the 200 camera.thanks to what info marc has made available and son's timely deal, I have been having fun with that hassey set, always did like the sq format. took some shots in a very dark spot...needed about 1sec at f2 and iso 100. couldn't remember how to get the shutter into b and stop down... also found out how a 110 keeps you back. anyone know a good wide?
That one is fine. It is the CFE version which is the one I use. The best IQ is the IF version which costs an additional arm ... over and above the arm-and-leg that the CFE one coststhis 40? are there a couple of versions?

I'll get to you via e-mail as soon as I can locate a 40 IF John.marc; yours sounds good
