My first post, so please be gentle with me!
I have resurrected my old Hass C500/C501 kit, fitted a Phase One P20 back - and it is absolutely brilliant. The square format and superb quality produces excellent A2 prints and the camera is a pleasure to use.
The only limitation for me is the 1.5 lens magnification factor and I am trying to work out whether I can justify having a CFV 39 for the second body.
Which brings me to the point:
Looking at the price of a used CFV 39 (which doesn’t appear very often here in the UK) they seem to be selling for substantially more than a good HD2 complete - or similar to an HD3 -39 body & back. Either of these will, presumably, give me the quality I am looking for, can be used with my V lenses and will work our cheaper than the CFV 39 on its own. Especially when I sell off my second 500 body etc.
Having never used any Hasselblad H, I would really like to hear some opinions on whether this is a sensible option - particularly from anyone who has had experience of using both the V & H. All views welcomed!
