A racist, incorrect, and mostly harmless bit of over-stated personal prejudice.A ridiculous, Un ergonomic and overpriced piece of Chinese garbage
A new 'blad makes all fans very glad.
But can beat one blad thats our friend Godfrey's blad.
Glenn, as others have expressed, your drawings are both an inspiration and a catalyst for bringing back fond memories of the earlier days at NASA. I too was a big space buff, listening to my tiny portable transistor radio hidden in my elementary school bag of the early Mercury launches (also did the same when listening to the World Series in those days until the teacher caught me doing so ). I used to attempt to draw the curvature of the moon in the upper right hand corner on drawing paper and the curvature of the earth at the lower left hand corner showing the the Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle blasting off. My drawings were quite crude but my imagination was part of it, which ultimately led to a multitude of astronomy classes at the Hayden Planetarium in NYC while in Jr. High School (middle school). Thanks for sharing your creative talents!

A worthwhile diversion! Excellent sketches!

Yes, new manuals are available for the chrome 907X-50C & the CFV-II-50C.Is there a new manual for the 907x50C or still the same as the special ed version?
Thank you Glaiben for the link .:thumbs:Yes, new manuals are available for the chrome 907X-50C & the CFV-II-50C.

Hasselblad has been very good about the manuals so far. They've issued a new manual set with each firmware update for the 907x/CFVII 50c, as well as for the X1D series (I think). Each updated manual contains additional information that pertains to added features in the firmware update.Thank you Glaiben for the link .:thumbs:
I have downloaded and stored the new manual .
Absolutely.There's a poem in there somewhere.
A brand new 'Blad
Makes all fans glad.
Because Godfrey's our friend,
Who helps you in the end.
Bob, you have far more patience than I do.:shocked:unhelpful

Any ideas what would be the price for just the digital back?
I started using V system 15 years ago, and gradually built up my line up. With diminishing product and service of film, I stoped shooting blad a few years ago and turned to Leica digital. Those hassy equipment just sit there for collecting the dusts. Recently I feel I miss using my V system a lot. I want to resume shooting Hasselblad with CFV ii 50c.
I am a full frame shooter. I hope Hasselblad will eventually roll out a full frame digital back for V system, at least 6x4.5 format if not 6x6 (my preferred format). Hassy already has 6x4.5 full frame for its H system.
It's all relative....regarding digital medium format sensors, "full-frame" typically means 54x40mm 4:3 sensors, as opposed to the "cropped" 44x33mm 4:3 sensors, and all digital medium format sensors are cropped compared to some medium format film sizes.Hasselblad H6D cameras use 4:3 (crop) medium format sensors. Which camera uses 6x4.5 full-frame and isn't 'full-frame' typically defined as 3:2?
Hasselblad has not announced product available or prices for the CFVII 50c back as a standalone purchase at present. However, I suspect that the 907x body is likely about a $700 discounted price additional to the what the back would cost, so somewhere around $6000 for the back alone seems like a good guess for what the back alone would have as MSRP.Any ideas what would be the price for just the digital back?

Digital "FF" isn't really "defined" at all, and neither is "APS-C", and they're not based upon format proportions. The use of FF when referring to sensor format is a conventional reference to cameras that have a sensor size equal to a 35mm film camera, like a Nikon F or Leica M. The use of APS-C when referring to sensor size is a somewhat looser reference to Advanced Photo System's "C" framing spec, and is used to refer to both 1.5x and 1.6x crop digital sensor cameras.Hasselblad H6D cameras use 4:3 (crop) medium format sensors. Which camera uses 6x4.5 full-frame and isn't 'full-frame' typically defined as 3:2?
I can (and do) the same, in addition to obtaining digital image capture with the CFVII 50c, although my current scanning solution is to use the 907x fitted with a lens adapter and the Leitz Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 macro lens as the capture instrument. The resulting 39 Mpixel file has enough quality to satisfy my aesthetic and practical needs, and nets the original qualities of the Hasselblad lenses imaged onto film as they were originally intended. The 16-bit raw files from the CFVII 50c provide even better tonal range and adjustment capabilities than my old Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED, although not quite as much pixel resolution.I remember the first commercial use Kodak digital camera was priced at $20K if my memory serves right. Its' resolution was about 1MB. So I cross my fingers that I will see a 6x6 format digital back with accepting price in my life (I will be at 60 in three years).
My "full frame" digital back for my V system used to be A12/A16/A24+Nikon LS9000. I can go back to the same setting (minus A24) while waiting
