The announcement was made in Hasselblad's newsletter, sent via email.Btw, do you have a link to the announcement? I didn't see anything on the Hasselblad/Bron website.
On an Arca rm3di and the CFV-50c back with its 1.5 crop factor, will the focus cards I use with my H5d50 back need revision?

Why does the credo 60 accommodate bigger movements. Is it because of the cropped sensor?Wow, great price on a great back. I nearly bought one of these recently, but ended up with a Credo 60 for the bigger sensor and because it can handle bigger movements with the right lenses. THe files I shot on my Linhof Techno during tests with a CFV-50c were stunning, no question about it, but past a certain point of shift things started to fall apart quite repidly. For most people working with moderate movements, I don't think it'd be a problem. If you want to stich 6x12 panoramas with a bit of rise or fall, then you're going to see problems.
Anyway, great deal!
Thank you, paulThe cards should be used with the same distance references. No change. At least it was with my rm3di and IQ150.
Only thing that will be off is the vario finder. But with live view don't need it.

Quoting from page 38 of the CFV-50c manual:One opinion on the 50MP and movements, again coming from the Arca rm3di and 28mm, 40mm and 60mm lenses.
The Sony sensor will show a pretty hard shift to the red/magenta much past 8mm to 10mm. I shifted the IQ150 all the way to 15mm, with the 40mm Rodenstock and 20mm with the 60XL.
Keep your Nikon system - the reasons you go to it instead of your Leica (or vica versa) are different to the reasons you shoot MF technical - you will miss your DSLR type camera - it does all the stuff that the others do - sort of - but excels in portrait to tele focal lengths. MF for me is wide- I dont own a lens longer than 70mm for my tech cameras - wide baby - wide. OR sitch stitch stitch if want to...The Sony works up to a point, with less **** /tilt movement latitude than a larger sensor size provides, even though many of these sensors test the limits of acceptability when employing super wides - the crop factor can't be ignored when it comes to lens to film plane tilts and shifts..with a Sony mounted on to a tech camera- I'd go for CaNikon wides..over a Rodenstock or Schneider...no need to pay the uber bucks if you are using a 35MM chip.Well, crap. So they finally made it moderately affordable and I always said that when they did I would jump. But just when I get my first tele-zoom Nikon in ten years and am starting to actually enjoy it. So, whadda ya gonna do? Go for the versatility of the Nikon or the quality of the MFDB?
If you think I'd miss the Nikon all that much, think again. My other system is a Leica M-P and three wonderful lenses. But, still...there is always that lure of the next mountain. Oh, my...
Glad to see Hasselblad points this out in the manual. I was using the Phase implementation of the chip in the IQ150, where usage information is a bit more vague.Quoting from page 38 of the CFV-50c manual:
"Shift settings are not recommended on cameras with wide angle lenses and a short lens to image plane distance."
When you use any piece of gear in a manner discouraged by the manufacturer, you can expect anomalies.

Well, according to what I found, the CFV50C has only a Firewire 800 interface..... No USB. A BIG mistake.....Hi John.
Nice shot. And a good example of how the back works in a nodal setup.
The crop factor may work in favor for such stitching.
The other issues I would have with the 50c are no C1 support and tethering. I assume the Focus from Hasselblad allows for a USB tethered capture?
