Hasselblad CFV-50

Does anyone knows if a CFV back can be turned in portrait mode on, say, an ALPA SWA or an Arca RM3D for instance ?
I believe 'yes' due to the adaptor plate part - but am not sure that all those adaptor plates can be rotated 90°. It was so on my cambo sliding back (the back is placed on the adaptor plate and the adaptor plate is placed in 0° or 90° position on the sliding back).

Yes, like any digital back ... the CFV is connected to the view lens via a PC sync cable. The CFV menu has the choice to use sync triggering. Most backs are 645 configuration, so the Tech cameras have rotatable mount adapters.

I'd love a CFV50 to mount on my Rollie Xact-II as well as my Mamiya RX Pro-II ... which has a rotating back ... but I haven't won the lotto yet, so that will have to wait ... :ROTFL:

By the way, the 645D from pentax has its display turning 90° when in portrait mode, nice :thumbupbut I believe only the image is automatically displayed in the right position, the menu do not follow, for another silly technical reason certainly, not nice :thumbdown

Don't all 645 MFD cameras do that?

With a H3DII-22 turned on its side you'll have to turn your head too for still correctly reading menus and displayed image, like on almost all DSLR by the way; 2010 they say...

a 40 megapixel, 9 micron, full frame square sensor is what I think V-System users really want (and for most of us, it exceeds our needs).

I agree 100%
