"The H3D II ... Nevertheless, please be aware of a possible firmware glitch still existing today (last tested as per May 2008) and potentially with all Hasselblad backs (also the CF types). If you use your back together with a mechanical shutter you might face sharp but reddish or pinkish colored pictures (across the whole image) with shutter times shorter than 1/60 sec. This is not a classical color cast or aberration but rather an artifact of a wrongly timed synchronisation of the back. Please ask your Hasselblad dealer as this is NOT a problem of the mechanical Copal shutters we use."
I have been scratching head over the issue of a pink caste in my shots with the Hasselblad back and Schneider lenses...for anyone else shooting with similar rig I came across this (by accident) on the Alpa site.
Apologies as in a previous thread I indicated that this colour caste issue was a wide angle lens issue - apparently I was wrong..
As I dont have any other back mounts for my Alpa I can't try my Sinar back to see if this is a common issue.
I would appreciate any feedback from a Hasselblad rep or anyone else familiar with the situation on this issue and suggested work around..
I am usually shooting between 1/8th and 1/125th max with a 35 digitar - and yes hahahah too many times on 1/15th - although I haven't really tested for sharpness loss on 1/15th yet..
This is an example of what I mean by pinky poo..a straight tiff export no adjustments just ersisized and saved for web..and it takes a lot of mucking around to fix...
