CFV 50

First of all, sorry if anyone thinks I am posting too many questions....:eek: but the information base is great here and I am about to choose a serious setup and do not want to make silly misstakes!

If my budget was unlimited, then IQ80 would be a certain choice. However, money is a factor and I am trying to maximize image quality vs cost. The CFV 50 seems to be the best offering in terms of value for money.

Body and lenses - I am leaning towards a Linhof Techno with Dig 28XL, Dig 47XL and Dig 90N.

Would you say this looks like a good, solid setup?
What are the downsides? Compability issues? Other aspects I should think of? For instance, the 90N was a suggestion from the supplier, I cannot find any user opinions of that lens, anyone that has tried it?

Try CMB here at GETDPI.

thanks for the sample with a 90! Looks good...

Sure, an Aptus 12 would be great, however it is more than twice the price of a CFV 50 here in Sweden.

It would be fantastic if anyone has used/is using a CFV 50 with a tech camera that could shed some light on pros and cons. Especially if there are problems with lots of movements (I cannot find if it has microlenses?) or other issues.
