If we say that the viewing angle of the 38 is about 90 degrees with a film back, then it should be roughly 70 degree with the CFV50C (Horizontal):thumbs: Ray!
I remember the original compared at around a 21mm on the 24x36mm format, horisontalwise, but actually perhaps more like a 24-25mm, as it is 72 degree horisontal.
As the cropfactor is 1,45, where do you then end?, like a 28mm or more in the horisontalview in 35 format?

ha-ha...I was beginning to get headache, trying to calculate...If we say that the viewing angle of the 38 is about 90 degrees with a film back, then it should be roughly 70 degree with the CFV50C (Horizontal)
Then I leave the rest of the math to you

A quick check of UK dealers shows discontinued item at two for the 3054668 part, looks like the right decision.Because I have still not recieved the 90 degree adapter I ordered close to two months ago now. And when the back is discontinued, who knows?

HB wants about 300 USD for the adapter, that is if they ever will ship it..
Ray
Now that would be nice....
Will the next shipping be a new version of the CFV50C :shocked:
Regarding our discussion about how to view different sensor formats:
From 6x6 to 6x17
For me the perfect format is 6x6.
But that does not mean that I always use it because it is not always perfect regarding a specific composition...
The horizontal angle of view that I want I get by selecting the appropriate focal length.
The amount of sky possible is then limited by the sensor format that I use.
6x6 gives me the largest amount of freedom regarding the possible ways to crop the photo.
So this is why I never think diagonally when thinking about format and size!

As far as I can see, we are more or less saying the same thing:
Whatever works for you. I tend to just work with the format proportions, unless I see something that needs a different set of proportions to tickle my eye correctly. I just like square format a lot and many of my photos are organized in a way that fits the square... I like the way it presents the relationships between objects and space.

What was the problem with your SWC, was it something with the foot that you had to modify?I had for some time a SWC and a CFV50c
SNIP
Then I learned that the L adapter was not enough to use the CFV50c with its battery on the SWC, so I had the SWC modified professionnally so as to allow the use of the CFV50c with its battery

Yes, I had to (or was told I had to) cut the footWhat was the problem with your SWC, was it something with the foot that you had to modify?
I have tried the adapter on my 903SWC with out any problem, except that I did not put the original foot back for this test.
