All of this was on one shelf, waiting to be used. Hasn't happened in quite a while and probably never will. I swear, if I leave these things alone on a shelf they breed and then stick their little offspring into my drawers. That's where the real mess is.

ELM CFV16 Digital Back 50mm Dist Ready To Roll by Nokton48, on Flickr

Here I've got my Hasselblad EL/M Body playing nicely with my new Hasselblad CFV16 Digital Back. I am finding that I prefer the Standard Central Cross Screen, with a drop-in mask 3D printed in Italy. Easiest to see sharp focus across the entire field using these. I sold off my black T* Distagon years ago, now I have a nice one back in the fold, a 50mm Hood is coming ina few days. Batteries and CF Cards sorted, I have plenty. My olde CDS Meter works great with the CFV16, reads out directly in EV's, which was the idea with the olde lenses. Running the CDS Meter on an MR9 and 386 power combo, it seems to be TTL accurate with the CFV16. This is going to be great FUN, I'm sure I'll be using my Blads more with this fat pixel back. If I like something I might even shoot it on 120 film as a choice! The Rubber Eyecup is from the Kiev 60 Meter Prism, I gathered up a bunch of them, back in my Wedding Daze.

My stash of 70mm 24 exp rolls 05 2022 by Nokton48, on Flickr

My recent purchase of a CFV16 Hasselblad Digital Back has renewed my interest in Hasselblads. Out in the field I can shoot digitally, then switch to 70mm, maybe one or two emulsions at a time. No need to look at frame counters, which is kinda liberating.

70mm Kodak Surveillance Film by Nokton48, on Flickr


My plan for this shooting year, Plus-X Pan (the original stuff), Kodak WL Surveillance Film, Agfa Aviphot 200 (Rollei 400s), and HP5 Plus. The Aviphot and the HP5+ are fresh film. I shoot a lot of expired film too, no real differences. I have collected, cleaned and dusted, added blue tape, to my remaining stock of Kodak 70mm Cartridges. All of these cartridges are complete, including the silver inner clip. It is important that the film go completely into the exposed cartridge, without damaging the film transport. My plan is to load 24 exposures including header and leader, which I can develop on a Unicolor Uniroller, using my JOBO 2500 with modified 120 reels, or my Patterson which holds two 24 exp 70mm modifed reels. I bought up, cleaned up, and modified another Unicolor Uniroller, this one has continuous one way rotation.
