Looking to breath some new life into my Mamiya ZD digital back. The ZD digital back was replaced by a second hand Phase One p30+. Mamiya ZD has been sitting on the shelf since the Phase One back appeared.
One idea I had was to buy a sliding back adapter and put it on my 4x5 large format camera. It looks like the only choice I have is to buy the Mamiya HX401 slidding adapter. ( The ZD digital back has no sync socket on the back. Which rules out most other sliding adapters ) Does anyone else on this forum have experience of the HX401 sliding adapter. Can anyone think of any other options to connect ZD digital back to a large format camera?
Would it be possible to connect the Phase p30+ on the Mamiya sliding adapter as well ? Looks to be ZD only. Or is there little point to do this because the p30+ has micro lens and will not shift well ? Anyone any experience of attaching a p30+ to a large format camera ? Is this worthwhile or should I just go with the Mamiya ZD back since it has a larger format sensor ( less mega pixels though … ) Any advice appreciated.
