Thanks Gary! My feelings exactly. Sheesh, at a 1.5x crop you're giving up all the Biogon's superlative corner and edge rendering resolution that made it cost so darn much money ... !That is a beautiful and classic camera Godfrey.....congratulations!
I wouldn't bother with a digital back for this one myself. I have the CFV-16II and it's tough seeing the wonderful wide angle views from my 40mm CFE IF lens reduced by that 1.5x crop factor.

I remember a number of captures from the 903....Ireland?LOL! No problem at all.
My re-addiction to 6x6 film has been building up again for a while and when I saw this camera being offered for sale, I just could no longer resist.
... traded my Leica M kit for a 903SWC in 2002, which I had until 2004.
Good memory! I took it to the Isle of Man in 2002. Have to hunt for those negatives ... or at least the scans of those negatives.I remember a number of captures from the 903....Ireland?
Welcome home.
Terrific image Godfrey! I haven't seen many images shot with an SWC....I will have to start looking for them. How do you focus this camera?heh heh heh ... found my 903SWC scans. Here's one:
I love how this camera sees.
Happy New Year!

indeed!I have thought about adding a 43mm lens to my Mamiya 7II kit...which would be the closest I can come to the SWC FOV, without actually buying an SWC.
Some very good work with the SWC here:
