These fat pixel backs are horrible. I don't know why we put up with them
Thank you Peter. It's one of my favorites (and conveniently already in the gallery) and just goes to prove that you don't need humongous mega pixels. I also shot the same shot with my IQ160 on my Alpa and to be honest I prefer this version. Just different and the clouds were more moody.That's one helluva pic Graham...

Jürgen, good luck with the search. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.Keith
I agree to the bad and good things . Yes . And I am still trying to get a CFV-16 again after I traded mine in some years ago .
I just missed a good one last weekend . They are very rare .
Thanks Keith . I hope to be successful the next time .Jürgen, good luck with the search. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.
Best

:thumbup: not to forget esthetics .The fact that a CFV-16 back is hard to find and is perhaps more expensive than a Aptus 22mb back (or similar) does not mean the CFV-16 is "over priced". There are good reasons why a devoted Hasselblad V system user might prefer a CFV-16 and be willing to pay a premium for it. Seamless integration, no sync cable etc.
I didn't have a good experience with the CF39 on my 503cw. One the looks didn't Jive but most importantly I couldnet get that back to be very sharp. I thought it was a calibration issue but others have experienced the same. The older bodies are not that precise so there are a lot of sample variation I feelNow that I am reducing demand on my MFD system needs and working primarily in studio, A CFV/39 or 50 on a good old 503CW would be just about a perfect set-up. 40IF, 100mm and a 120 Macro with tubes would do the trick quite nicely.
Simply a beautiful kit with a fabulous tactile feel. Sigh.
