From the press release:Can you actually buy H4X/H5X without trading in an existing Hasselblad camera these days? Wasn't sure if that bone-headed restriction still remains.
I assume you mean Aptus-II backs? As far as I know my super-old Aptus 75 should work, just as Aptus 75s and Aptus 22, right?Please note that the H5x , like the H4x are not compatible with Leaf Aptus Backs. I am only mentioning it since there was a previous comment about using it with older 'FatPixel' backs.
No Leaf Backs prior to the Credo are compatible with the H4x/H5x.I assume you mean Aptus-II backs? As far as I know my super-old Aptus 75 should work, just as Aptus 75s and Aptus 22, right?
From original Hasselblad H4x announcement at the bottom of the Q&A page.
From a safe source (Yair) we know that this will never work. Leaf don't do fixes for old backs.I like the next paragraph below the one just quoted:
All technical information has been passed on to Leaf and we are at their disposal to help rectify the problem. At present time we have not had any response from Leaf and therefore are not in a position to say when this will work.
I guess they're still waiting?
No, with a "normal" H5D body, you can't attach a film back or a third party digital back even if you remove the Hasselblad back.So, is the H5X simply an H5D sold as "body only" - or have I misunderstood this?
i don't think so, because the film back isn't compatible with H5D ...So, is the H5X simply an H5D sold as "body only" - or have I misunderstood this?
