Again speaking from the point of view that it is the same sensor as in the CFV-16, I wouldn't part with my Kodak DCS645M. Used it last weekend, in fact.Hi,
I can't say very much about the CFV-16 - but I still have a P20, which nearly should be the same from sensor-side.
Thanks for the hat tip. I was aware, the support is restricted rather than zero. It seems the body is fine, as you may expect, but some parts for the backs are not. I have seen new IR & cover glass fitted to H3DII standard on H3D back for eg. It's a balance between a lower cost back and taking a chance on a service requirement or more and less risk of a brick. I'm currently in the strange situation of shooting digital on a V system (P20) and film on a H (H1).Chris, careful about versions. I believe that Hasselblad has stopped servicing some of the H3D cameras, if not all.
I thought it was worth the money, though I ended up selling it (to "Ocean", hope you are happy with it) and got my money back because I ended up deciding in favour of the Contax 645 with a back of similar ilk, the P25+. I am very happy so far, with my still limited familiarity.I just recently got hold of an cfv-16 (from getdpi.com). While I have not had the time to take it for an outing, for few test shots that I processed so far, I really like the IQs. The images are very easy to process and have this very smooth look that I have not seen from other digital captures. Other than 1.5 crop factor, it works perfectly with my 503CW, 555ELD and 903SWC bodies. I am going to keep using it.
Ten years ago, people's heads would be exploding over that deal. That said, these days you can buy a Leica S2 on eBay for under 3000 dollars. Add the V adapater, and you have a much better camera for digital photos. That said, hard to beat the 203FE as a film camera, as long as you like the square!
