    203FE purchase advise

    My point is that the 2xx series is not significantly more risky to own than the 5xx series. Sure, more risky because fewer tech are available, but the difference is overblown, IMHO

    203FE purchase advise

    Cameras with electronics had been around since the 70s or earlier. Most of them "die" not because of the electronics, but by people putting them on the shelves. As long as there are some technicians willing to touch them, it's not a problem.

    203FE purchase advise

    You sell your F/E lens and buy the C lens. You will come out ahead. There's literally no downside of owning a 203FE other than the minor thing of higher cost

    203FE purchase advise

    I'm the contrarian. I love my 203FE, and expect it to OUTLAST me. Also, guess what you can do if you absolutely cannot use the electronic? No, it's not a brick, it acts EXACTLY like a 5xx camera. And the lenses are best of the best Hasselblad Zeiss. e.g. the 50/2.8 is FLE except that you do...

    203FE purchase advise

    Production ends on the 2xx in early 2000s with few parts available, but if you get it a good one and CLA, it should last many years.

    203FE purchase advise

    Talk to Wilco Jansen in Netherlands, he works on the 2xx series. Also try these people Southern Photo Technical Service (305)653-7355 Toll Free: (866)787-4349 37 NE 167th Street, North Miami Beach, Florida 33162 Someone has their 203FE worked on by them very recently. Ignore the Hassy "big...

    It is Finally Here, 907x 100c

    Most of the reviewers do not use the V cameras, and as a 203FE + II 50C user, I doubt that combo would be much improved by using the 100C back. In fact, may bring more frustration. So the future of the 907X IS going to be for people who want the smallest MF camera but with limitation of no-IBIS...

    It is Finally Here, 907x 100c

    That's FMA, fused multiple and add. Perfect for those vector processing units, but they probably run too hot in a camera, so more likely custom ASIC

    It is Finally Here, 907x 100c

    I forgot the exact spec, but the readout speed is quite a bit faster. I have been using the 907x+CFV II 50C for a few walk-around sessions. It's a lot of fun.

    It is Finally Here, 907x 100c

    The CFV II 50C works great with 200 and 2000 cameras, so no reasons why the 100C would not work at least as well.

    It is Finally Here, 907x 100c

    Does the CFV 100C transmit the back ISO to the 203FE camera or is that still not done (and it cannot be done)?

    What do we want to see in the next generation of digital backs and MF cameras?

    56mmx56mm 50MP :-)

    New MF camera from Gibellini

    I was one of the first customers for his 4x5, and now I have the AG810 as well. Almost certainly (without actual data), that the initial versions will not be in the premium gold plate category. I mean, it will be expensive, but probably not far from Cambo, or lower end of Alpa etc. The gold...

    Hasselblad CFV ll 50c

    I have nailed focus with the 110/2 at F2 with the CFV II 50C. What it is, for me anyway, is that my eyes would get tired and I could miss focus if I don't let them rest. I think it's more the nature of the Hassy focusing system. I have used the CFV specific Acute Matte D screen with the crop...
