A Hasselblad, more than 40 years after first looking.

Vince, like your Froggie 🙂

Hasselblad Anniversary 500CM CFV16 Digital Back 60mm C T Distagon 400 Strobe Macbook by Nokton48, on Flickr

At last the Macbook Pro is tethered to the CFV16 Hasselblad Digital Back. Broncolor PC Cord works good with Zeiss Hasselblad 60mm C T* Distagon. So I have the additional CFV16 cords from a Digital dealer. Now it's complete and Phocus from Hasselblad is loaded, and Hasselblad still supports this Olde original model from the middle 2000's. It's very friendly and easy to use, love the files right out of it. This is lit from 1600J Modeling light Only Broncolor Octobox 150 with Supplemental Grid, for harder more directed light. 3x4 Foamcore just off camera right for fill. Sony Nex7 Zeiss Touit 50mm F2.8
 
Broncolor Olde Ringlight CFV16 60mm F13.5 Apus A2 6.5 by Nokton48, on Flickr


Back to the 1980's My stand-in "Shirley" gets the high fashion light treatment LOL. Broncolor Olde Ringlight, connected to Apus A2 Pack at 6.5 power, gets me F13.5 with the CFV16 Hasselblad Back at Ei 50. Distinctive ringlight shadows behind, this will be great for me as a frontal "fill" light. 60mm F3.5 C T* Distagon Anniversary 500C/M. Love it.

Getting up close and personal with one of our birdy friends this morning. Hasselblad 907x, 65/2.8 with two extension tubes.

Excellent work, Vince!

A question: What extension tubes are you using? I was thinking of getting an 11mm and 20mm (Fotodiox Pro) as a versatile pair for use with the 45P and 65 lenses.

I’m using the Fotodiox ones. The AF can sometimes be inaccurate with them, so I’d plan on manual focusing.
 
Would pasting outlines of raptors on the windows, or fake owls keep the little guys from blundering into the plate glass?
Dunno actually - we’ve only had it happen twice all year, and both the same type of bird. The windows are quite recessed and we have regular railings/spindles on our deck. Fortunately they were both okay. I’ll have to ask my loving wife who is the resident bird expert.
