Doug,David,
Just wondering if you got around to those photos of the kit. I'm all the way out in California and this is a 20K+ item. My request received the response "pretty boring to look at". Makes me wonder if you are really into selling it.
Doug,FWIW this back can be bought as a demo from any Leaf dealer in Contax 645 mount with a full warranty for about the same price. I have to feel REALLY good about dealing with an individual at this price level if you know what I mean.
Actually there is one Aptus 75S demo available from Leaf with a Contax mount. FYI, PPR will sell it for $23,400 and MPEX for $22,500. So your deal is a pretty good one with the camera included.
But I am having second thoughts on the 75. I am probably better off with a new Phase P20+ and an Arca Swiss 6x9 for stitching. Both together will cost me less than a 75 (or P25+), and I already have a Contax 645.
Phase just dropped the prices of the P20+ to $8990 and the P25+ to $20,990 which includes a Mamiya 645 ADF II body. And that's negotiable especially if you don't want the Mamiya body.
That is awesome Jim. Awesome.if you're interested in stitching, you might look at

It'll give you more pixels that anyone really needs (which is a lot coming from me)
This is from the Horseman and a 35mm Digitar
yes.. from a center position, you can shift in all directions 17mmJIm, This is with your Aptus 75S? Can you simultaneously shift L&R and Up & Down with the Horseman to get a 4 quadrant stitch? Or is this "just" two frames?
Son, please forgive continued questions regarding my 203FE, but I need to clarify a few very important points.Marc,
The only digital back in the world that can be used on the Hasselblad 200 series cameras is the Sinar Digital Back via a very small cable from the digital back to the shutter sync on the right side of the camera. Phase One back and other back can be used on the 200 series but they need a double cable release such as the Kapture Group. However, this cable is huge and it is not sensible to shoot via hand held. On the other hand, the Sinar cable is very small and allow you to use the Hasselblad 200 series cameras handheld. The cable is also universal for all medium format cameras (Mamiya 645 AF, M645, Contax 645 and etc.) when used on the Sinar back. I also discovered that the adapter is very precise with the Sinar system. Up to date, the Hasselblad V is still the smallest and yet brightest 6x6 system when manual focus. I put both the Rollei 2.0/110 on the Rollei 6008 AF with their high definition bright screen and the Hasselblad 2.0/110 on the 205 TCC and the 205 TCC was so bright and yet crisp when in focus. It is due to this bright screen, I have designed an auto bellows system for the Contax 645 and now the Hasselblad 200 series camera to do high magnification micro/macro-photography applications. The only reason you own so much of these Hasselblad lens and your 203 FE is due to the incredible optics the 200 series has to offer.
