Hmmm . . . I actually like the upside down orientation for the lens, but at least on the Alpa version of these lenses there is no focus index mark or depth of field marks on the bottom of the lens. (You can set the HPF ring to any orientation so the distance scale can be in the right place upside down.) Solution?So I realize that this is a very neat cable layout but how the heck do you folks with inverted lenses accurately set exposure with the control down below and essentially out of sight? When I'm shooting LCCs I need to go back and forth on exposure and although I use touch & count clicks back & forth I need to eyeball the control to make sure everything is where I want it at times. Don't you find that tricky with the lens inverted?
Ditto, I've never got on with using the smaller almost invisible aperture indicator on the bottom (top for you) vs the control.
Come to that, what about focus?
I think that maybe the shutter folks need to think about producing a new model with the cable release connecting from below? That would basically almost solve the spaghetti/medusa cabling problems with cables covering the controls you need to use such as exposure, shutter cock and aperture.

I have no sync solution cable yet . So I have to wakeup the back by using a HASSELBLAD sync release cable seperately additional to the shutter release .
Perhaps Thierry can finally give a positive feedback , when the short HASSELBLAD type cable will be available .

I completely forgot about that small opening at the base! What I'd like to do is replace the cord shown with one half the size. I know I could go the shorted route that Guy has shown however I don't like the idea of 2-cords having to be plugged together like an extension cord. Maybe I see if I can find somewhere to have the cord shorten...Wow, Don, I never thought I'd see someone who is more OCD than you! :ROTFL: Guy---you done good. Sweet job on the routing of the wiring. Looks great, I'm jealous. Just need to add those new Cambo wood handles...
Very dangerous thread here indeed....
