CFV16 Card Adapter with 32 gig Micro Cards Reader by Nokton48, on Flickr

I bought the CF Card Adapter from the UK (bought two of them). The 32 gig Micro Cards were $8 each at the local Walmart. Each one came with a microSDXC Adapter, which neatly stores the micro cards in this repurposed metal storage case. Have regular CF cards too, I been warned to use the Adapter, it's easier on the pins inside the back.

It's been pointed out to me that the above shot is not really sharp. I will switch to a Magnifying Hood, and a Focusing Screen made for the CFV16, with focus aides. Will test all that later today. It is kinds dark in there, especially with an F4 lens. And after changing to the CFV16 Screen, and reshooting a test on the red 283 setting, everything is good now. The 50mm f4 is hard to focus with the central cross standard screen. Looks sharp blown up on my PC.

Yes but the micro cards in the photo fit in my Fat Pixel Hasselblad CFV16 Digital Back.

this thread is meant to show images made with FAT PIXEL DIGITAL BACKS, please refrain of showing stuff of unrelated equipment, pics of such digital backs is fine though

FAT PIXEL DIGITAL BACKS

Do Phase One backs with Sensor+ qualify as FAT PIXEL? Their Spec Sheet lists them as 12um.

The "je ne sais quoi" of fat pixels is from what I recall, the alleged better color accuracy. I'd say an on sensor multi-sampling technique like sensor+ does sound like it would replicate the effect. Here is the Patent

Broncolor Impaspot Impact 41 CFV16 60 Dist by Nokton48, on Flickr

Rebuilding an Olde Broncolor Impaspot; in fact I have two of them. And now using Impaspot on a Impact 41 Monolight 375J strobe, clear dome don't have diffusion dome yet) Hasselblad 500C/M 60mm F3.5 Zeiss Distagon C T* CFV16 Digital Back. An olde crusty Acetate Mask needs to be reprinted and made clean. But the effect of this olde mask is kind of cool IMO. Olde Broncolor strobe spotlights are fun to play with Here I am firing a Broncolor Impaspot at a very large sheet of 1/4" Plexiglass, propped vertical on my FOBA Sweep Table. Kinda Kewl how the Impaspot lights the facets in the Plex. Flecks in the Plex! LOL. Looks kinda spacey.

I love the texture and the transitions

 

[Nokton48]

Thanks Hasslebad. I do like it, it's otherworldly. Was fun to create.

Testing the Sconpho Optical Spotlight, on the Broncolor S80 600J Frosted Dome. Hasselblad 500C/M CFV16 Digital Back F22 EI 100 60mm C T* Black Distagon. Trying to get more evenness of illumination across the frame, this has some brightness in the center. May repeat this with the clear dome and see if that makes a difference. Optical Projector fired onto a sheet of white foam core.

I'm still rockin' my P25. I guess one day I'll update it especially since the hot pixels are getting rather abundant, but since Capture One automatically gets rid of them I'll stick with it a little longer. Here are some shots I took of the flowers I normally never looked at and used a hedge trimmer to cut. I was originally playing with the 40mm lens and when I noticed that the flower looked pretty nice, so I attached a makro lens and off I went. The magnification is around 1:2. Being able to rotate the back to a vertical position was great since I didn't need to rotate the entire camera. That's definitely something the newer backs that were just released can't do.

Broncolor Impaspot Finally Behaving CFV16 EI 100 F13.5 Indicated by Nokton48, on Flickr

Finally the Broncolor Impaspot is starting to Behave! This is the entire field, looks even to me, modeling lamp is not accurate due to ventilation holes in the frosted S80 Dome. Required for this unit. Broncolor Strobe Meter indicated EI 100 F13.5. Set that on the 60mm C T* Distagon, this is the result. Good enough to start using I think. Still looking for original Impaspot Accessories in good condition. CFV16 Digital Back F13.5. Broncolor Impact S80 Monolight 600J 150W Modeling gets hot!

Here's a little fun with fat pixels. I thought the mushrooms needed a little something so I decided that Harry Potter and friends needed to find their way to it.

Digital V System 30mm to 120mm by Nokton48, on Flickr


Fat Pixel Digital Hasselblad CFV16 Back 30mm Distagon, 40mm Distagon, 50mm Distagon, 80mm Planar, 100mm Planar, and 120mm S-Planar. A short to medium full set, all roughly the same vintages. More than I can carry around, but it's here to use. Also 2 of 4 Lithium Battery Packs, Type CF Adapter, and seven 32G Micro Cards. I now prefer this late model Magnifying Hood, and the special CFV16 Acute Focusing Screen, which makes a huge deal with critical focus with this thing. It is -very- critical and DOF seems to be less than usual with this system. But all is good here. Loving those fat pixels.

How fat is fat enough to enrolling this fat topic.
Does my two operation made P65+ is fat or not.

 

[daz7]

Nah, p65 is not a fat pixel back.
9 microns and larger is what you can call "fat".

 

[FloatingLens]

Do Phase One backs with Sensor+ qualify as FAT PIXEL? Their Spec Sheet lists them as 12um.

I had this question answered just above.
