Sorry Eduardo
Again no bigger square sensor , as I thought .
I know , many of us would like that very much , but I do doubt that this will ever happen .
Best regards
I personally think a 9 micron full size(56x56) back has lots of potential, not just for V users but also for tech camera applications. By my math that would be about a 40MP sensor BTW.A square crop would work of course and for my needs, a square crop of the CFV-39 would be more than enough, resolution wise. And I do understand that what drives this are the economics of the chip manufacturers and companies like Hasselblad.
Bottom line, if Hasselblad isn't going to push for it I don't know who will.....and it sure looks like they won't.
But...I can't help wanting to see the 9 micron, full size square sensor from someone, someday, somehow. Remember the special look produced by 9 micron sized photosites that people used to talk about here and elsewhere? Well, maybe technology has advanced to the point were 6 microns can create the same look now, I don't know....or maybe it was all in our imagination.
The simplistic consumer in me says just take one of those 9 micron sheets of sensors they cut the individual CFV-16 sensors from and cut them a little bigger next time. Voila...problem solved! As you can see, I don't have a clue about real life manufacturing.

You also have to remove the Phase back and rotate it manually. It is not a rotating mount like a Mamiya RZ. That is an idea I like even less than a PC cord connection from lens to back. I remove digital backs from the camera as few times as possible. These backs love to attract dust, and outdoors even more so ... plus the prospect of scratching the sensor filter by mis-mounting it when in a hurry is real ... I know three photographers that did that ... unfortunately, I was one of themyou will be able to use the P45+ in two positions without having to turn the body... that's a big plus !
long exposures rock with the P45+ !
but... you have to deal with the cable... not a big deal for me, but a friend of mine can't stand it... a question of shooting style !
A big square sensor that no sensor maker produces and probably never will. Even if they did, the cost would be sky-high because of the way sensors are produced and the waste involved in making such a large one.I'm very disappointed by this announcement: a 50mp back for the V-system? no rotation?
was it developed on the moon?:ROTFL:
Did they ever try to rotate the camera 90° and then look through a 45° viewfinder?
Does Hasselblad really know what the most V owners want? a big SQUARE 56x56 sensor of course.
No Hasselblad, it needs more to surprise us.

Personally, I would. The CFV back cosmetically matches the 503CW and looks like a V film back. It doesn't require that pesky PC cord from lens to back ... which is a weak link in the exposure sequence due to possible intermittent failure, and need for replacement (been there, done that, way too many times).I've a 503CW and lenses. I'm about to buy a used phase one p45+ with 12k shot for $14k. After seeing this, should I go for this instead? I'm also using the back with Kapture group sliding back with ebony p45+. Any thoughts?
Marc, that was my thinking as well on those "OLD" V series designs, they should perform very well with the new Phocus DAC corrections.............The 50 meg sensor is a higher res, more updated unit, and when using Phocus software Hasselblad has included DAC (distortion & chromatic aberrations corrections) for most all V lenses. It is actually amazing to see the Zeiss lenses get even better :thumbup:.

I don't mind the cable. My friend recommended the one shot cable which simplify the process a bit.you will be able to use the P45+ in two positions without having to turn the body... that's a big plus !

but... you have to deal with the cable... not a big deal for me, but a friend of mine can't stand it... a question of shooting style !
They do for sure. I tried it on my H3D-II/39 using the CF Adapter.Marc, that was my thinking as well on those "OLD" V series designs, they should perform very well with the new Phocus DAC corrections.
PaulI am surprised that there isn't a petition to make hasselblad fit the 1000f as well!!
come on guys buy some new bodies and move into the 21st century.. you want hasselblad to be around in 30 years?.. they aren't going to make it if you hang onto your 500cm forever...there is more to shooting than what is seen through a wlf..you are working with a film camera..it can only take you so far in the digital world we are in.
