That was my original idea as well . But as the 4/45P Lens is rather cheap and good , I could not resist . I don‘t know if Dante was involved here .Since the 907x body is likely such a small premium on the cost of the package (I can't see the back selling for much less than about $6000 standalone), I'd just buy a 907x and leave the body section in the box.
Well, for me the 907x + XCD 21mm is my new SWC, but I get your meaning. The 45P lens is a delightful "use it all the time" piece.That was my original idea as well .

Now the 907x/45P kit is my new SWC .
Has Hasselblad ever sold standalone digital backs? I'm curious.

It does.Question about the CFVII 50c, I assume it clears the underside of a PME90 prism finder when on a 500 series camera?
PS. I can recommend getting the Acute Matte screen for CFV (3042264).It does.
You're welcome! For sure this is the way to go for vertical.Yep, I had one with my CFV50C. B&H stocks them so I will likely order another one once I get a CFV back again. Worst case I can take one of my 8 Acute Matte screens and use a sharpie. Thanks for confirming the clearance of the PME 90, it's essential for use with the back for vertical shots.
Since I don't have this finder and likely won't in the future, this is just a theoretical conjecture ... Do you think there's enough material in the PME90 housing to be able to file or mill it out for a little more clearance so that it will not contact the back's release lever?...
One caveat though, the PME back ejection system forces a slight push on the CFV lever. This creates some play as the prongs of the body are angled to always engage the back fully when the lever is not pushed – in my case. I am concerned that because of this the CFV might not be perfectly flush against the 500C/M body in this setup. Nitpicking perhaps. Could be an issue for closeups. ...
