As it happens a confluence of factors coming together led to the happy decision.
1. I need tilt shift for some studio still life work and I couldn't decide between the Arca Swiss monorail or the just announced Arca 3RD -
2 Was going to get the CVF11 kit so I could have a waist level finder and a back which could be used on - you guessed it..
3. david posted this kit on GetDPI - with a bunch of other glass and jack mentioned teh tilt shift adaptor..and marc has alwaysbeen a fan..
4. Great deals on Phase One P25+ and P45+
So now I have an HC set of lenses to go with H3D11-39 ;and
Soon some big boy studio Mamiya glass as my second system;and
the second back will be Phase One P45+ with mamiya mount
I will buy a Mamiya adaptor for my Alpa to Phase One back - and now dont need to use the hard drive from Hasselblad to drive the Alpa with hasselblad back - same if I end up ponying up for the 3DR which looks like a serious contender against Alpa - as it has built in tilt. I will wait for Alpa release of tilt gizmo before deciding between two.
Now all I have to do is decide on my lighting kit ( Bron colour seems to be the go) and a bunch of lighting accessories - and I am set for teh type of photography that interests me
making nice still life shots of local flora and printing them large.
I will post some shots in due course once I have everything down here..
and there may be a one or two HC lenses in As New /Mint in box etc lenses coming up for sale.:shocked:
