    Cambo Actus-DB2 + Hasselblad 50c 100c

    I'm afraid I don't but here is an article on using the Actar-19 with an IQ4 150MP which is the same sensor size as the H6D-100c. https://blog.cambo.com/2023/04/07/taking-toronto/

    Cambo Actus-DB2 + Hasselblad 50c 100c

    Linhofstudio, Teamwork and Peartree are all Cambo dealers in the UK, and would have some demo kit for you to test. Never used the Silvestri system, but big fan of the Actus.

    Cambo Actus-DB2 + Hasselblad 50c 100c

    Cambo make some proprietary lenses for the Actus, and these would be worth considering particularly at the wider end of what you're looking for. The Actar-19 would be the option that best covered the sensor size of the 100c. Depending on where you're based, I'd suggest arranging a test with a...

    Medium Format Ultralight Hiking Kit

    Saw Paul Reiffer post about these the other day: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nya-evo/grumbler-fix-your-current-camera-bag Looks like it's an off-shoot product from the NYA-EVO designer. A neat way to further neaten a neat pack.

    "An Intimate Conversation with Photographer Gregory Crewdson" (by Capture Integration YouTube channel)

    Even if this was devised as a promotional video for the XT (which it does very well), I think it's a great and informative piece all round. I know the XT inside out, but I still watched the full video and found the technical input of Gregory and his camera operator really interesting. I've...

    Freezing droplets and fast action with MF and lens question

    If you want to freeze motion, you need flash with a fast flash duration. The shutter speed of the camera isn't going to do it. Set camera to 1/125s and use a flash at it's power setting that has the fastest flash duration.

    Fun with MF images 2024

    Sheep skull found alongside the River Dee while fishing in North Wales. Boiled, bleached, and then focus stacked with the GFX 100S.

    fat pixel digital backs

    Revived a Leaf Aptus II 5 that had been gathering dust at the university I work at. It had only ever been used with Firewire power, so got a battery from Teamwork. Lovely images, though a clunk to use.

    More Fun with Large Format Film Images!

    Been experimenting with paper negatives recently. Here's one from this weekend - made at a sculpture friend's studio. Scanned and inverted. MPP field camera with fogged Agfa paper.

    Medium format objects

    Forgive me, this is not a medium format object (Sony RX100 III) but I want to get involved! My friend's Kineya reel, attached to his Yamame fibre glass rod. Both objects of pure and minimalist fly fishing. Further object of note: ventilated cork handle.

    Protection for IQ4 backs (rubber band, screen protector, etc.)

    Someone with product design competence could come up with a sweet idea.

    Protection for IQ4 backs (rubber band, screen protector, etc.)

    We spoke to support about this some time ago and they steered us away from making something due to potential heat build up. Sure someone could come up with a smart solution that had suitable venting.

    Technical Camera Images

    The contemplative man's recreation (I love that re-creation is the pure meaning of this word). Not unlike technical camera photography.
