So in recent weeks, a rather nice condition Hasselblad 500CM system (body, back, two finders, 80 and 150mm lenses, tripod mount, filters, etc etc) has appeared on my doorstep—and for not a lot of money, thankfully. Adding it to the SWC kit I acquired last year, I have just about everything I'd need for 6x6 film shooting.
But it begs the question of a digital back. I cannot afford one at the moment, but I'm curious. Should I consider a Hasselblad CFV-16, CFV-39? What others (in a "reasonable" price range) would be interesting to look at? What do I need to know before getting involved with this level of Hasselmadness?
I should probably just grab a Polaroid 100 back, a few packs of Fuji instant film, and be happy with that. Hasselblad up front, and instant prints at the back ... yeah. ;-)
