Hasselblad - CFV50c Version II - possbile?
- Thread starter gmfotografie

I agree that a battery icon would be helpful as would a live histogram. But the major problem is the cropped sensor combined with the limited (and heavy) wider angle lenses for the V series. Your mileage may vary but for me the standard 80mm lens on a V camera with the CFV-50c is too tight. So my "normal" lens is the 50mm FLE. I don't have, and can't justify the purchase of, one of the 40mm lenses. So I now have an X1D - the 45 mm is great and I look forward to looking at the 22mm and the 30mm.
Increasing the mpx of the existing back doesn't excite me at all. Increasing the sensor size would however be really interesting. To be able to use an 80mm lens on a V digital back with something similar to the crop on the H3D-39 would be something. But I rather doubt that this is technically possible at the moment with CMOS sensors.

HASSELBLAD has removed all info and technical data for the CFV-50c from their WEB-PAGES .
Additional , my dealer , one of the big HASSELBLAD dealers in Germany , has also removed all info about the
CFV-50c from his pages . It was still present last week .
I am very much afraid , we will not see a new CFV-BACK anymore .

A full 645 sized 60MPish CMOS sensor would be awesome. Even more incredible if it would rotate. Or if they gave us a modern solution for a 90 degree prism that fits and is really bright. My dream is they start developing bits, lenses, finders etc for the V again. It seems there are a lot of people asking for this.

Hi,
I would say perfectly feasible, when sensor supply allows for it.
Best regards
Erik

Let's speculate!
- They needed the sensors for the X1D
- Chinese conspiracy where drones ended up stealing all remaining CFV50cs (crowd pleaser)
- Low demand (I hope not as that means we won't see a version 2)
- They are focusing all their attention on the V prototype with a square sensor
- They are focusing all their attention on a new Lunar prototype
That's all I got
The information on the Linhof studio site has been there for a few months.
Probably Hasselblad needs the sensors they have for the X1d and not only that they probably have most of the Hasselblad staff working on producing X1d cameras which does not leave any resources for bringing out a new CFV digital back. They need to get some return on investment and cash into the company.
When things settle down I hope they will bring out a new CFV digital back. It's likely that one is already designed and prototyped but just no resources to bring it to market. The old CFV would have sold resonably well as had good price performance and worked well on tech cameras and V series camera.

Nick , your post is almost there years old . But unforgotten .
Now today we see a new CFV II 50c coming along . How wonderful and what a lovely back . No orders are taken yet , but I am on top of the list for possible orders .
So you were right . :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: Thank you .
