A Hasselblad, more than 40 years after first looking.

Very twinkly! With the Hasselblad 1000f, 120mm f/4.5 Rodenstock Imagon, CFV II 50C digital back.

Nokton, you are living the life spoken of in the wonderful quote from Giacometti that Jim Barnes (Barnwulf) had here as his signature quote: “i now work only for the sensation I have while working.” There is pleasure in the planning and the execution and the waiting for that cable, and even the failures here and there. Best wishes for some lovely results. But they may be secondary to the main game. Like Mole in Wind in the Willows, simply messing about in boats.

I know! Those crazy highlights are from the Imagon’s ‘strainers’.

Richard,
Very kind words that do explain why I enjoy this so much. Photography invites endless invention and endless adaptation. That's one thing I like about it. And I like to repurpose and rediscover things I already have.

4x5 Sinar Norma Hasselblad CFV16 Digital Back Main Menu by Nokton48, on Flickr

Here's the Hasselblad CFV16 Digital Back on the Main Menu Screen, on my 4x5 Sinar Norma. Capture One Sinar Adapter does the job at low cost. Battery Pack clips on to the bottom of the Digital Back. Need the connecting cord to the PC Socket on a shutter. My Norma Shutters would play nice with this and will be an upgrade. Easy to see the shutter controls from behind the camera. FAST. Image through the 47mm Super Angulon is super sharp and contrasty GG image. At F8 it is kind of amazing looking, being so wide. The precision lateral slide on the Norma Rear Standard means I can shoot multiple images and stitch 'em together. Would make quite a file.
