Oh yes Gary , dreams , dreams which I sometimes Dream as well .I'm imagining the ultimate Fat Pixel back for Hasselblad V-system owners.....a full square, 9 micron sensor which would be approximately 36 megapixels (just based on the 1.5 lens factor of the CFV-16).
Gary
:thumbs:I really wish MFD would have evolved into larger sensors instead of just an increase in MP. Give me a 6x6 sensor for my Hassy and a 6x7 sensor for my rz67, even with 22-40 MP, and I would be in heaven.
Seeing how digital backs have no mechanical parts the number of actuations should be irrelevant. If it looks like it's been well taken care of and the sensor is clean go for it.got an offer for a P21 back. It's been used heavily, almost 60k actuations now, but for a good price. How is the P21, and should I expect the back to fall apart at this usage?
Did you get the camera body calibrated? Hasselblad in the UK used to offer that as free service for buyers of the CFV. Never to late to get it done.I didn't have a good experience with the CF39 on my 503cw. One the looks didn't Jive but most importantly I couldnet get that back to be very sharp. I thought it was a calibration issue but others have experienced the same. The older bodies are not that precise so there are a lot of sample variation I feel
Actually they are not, i e there is one big chunk of silicon wafer than needs to be error free (hence exponential cost increase with larger sensors), but you do see a "stitching pattern" on the sensor as it is exposed in multiple sections, i e no machine can expose large enough to cover the whole sensor area in one exposure.The large CCDs sensors are pieced together by smaller CCDs anyway.
Hi Gary, I'm using a Leaf Aptus 22 on an RZ67. I can't remember whether this was shot with either the non Apo 250mm W or the old 140mm Macro. Too bad that no lens data is recorded though. A feature I never really cared about but now totally miss with this combo...Beautiful shot Max!:thumbup:
Which back and camera did you use for this one?
Hey, Jürgen, remember it well!Here an image taken with HASSELBLAD 905SWC + CFV16 .
I love the color rendering of that "fat pixel" back .
Some getdpi members might already know this image .
It was to proof , that the CFV-16 can also be used for architecture photography

So am I .:toocool:Hunting for another one now
