A Hasselblad, more than 40 years after first looking.

Testing the CFV16 Hasselblad Digital Back. EI 200 CDS Meter Prism determines the EV to set on the lens, easy and intuitive. It plays Nice and easy to use, files look great right out of the camera. Kind of like the look of the Olde Kodachrome 25 Color and Saturation, I expect it's the fat pixels, and -the space- between the pixels, that determines the "look" I guess. Anyway I like it a lot!

A smithy is made for black and white photography. I have always wanted an anvil... A colleague of mine has taken up black-smithing as a hobby.

I should go back there and see what else I can get. We only popped in there for a few minutes as we were off to an appointment. Stay tuned!

Hasselblad EL/M with CFV16 Digital Back, 135mm C T* Zeiss S-Planar (1:1 to infinity focus with Hasselblad Auto Bellows). Hasselblad Stovepipe, Hasselblad Ring Light, modified by New York City Flash Clinic, to work nice with the Norman 200B 200J Packs. Working good all, will be used for some digital floral photography coming up soon. Actually not too heavy to carry around. The Packs are running off of Broadcast TV Camera Lead Acid Batteries, cheap on Amazon.

And actually rarely seen (though heard quite a bit). I think it flew into one of our windows and was regaining its composure on our deck. It eventually flew off and was okay. The shot was taken through our window and I focused pretty much as close as the Olympia Sonnar would allow.

Here I'm configuring my wide Sinar Norma 4x5, this one has a 47mm F8 Super Angulon Custom Ultrawide lensboard. Full movements on 4x5 film. I using more my Hasselblad CFV16 Digital Back, the olde original one, marketed to V camera users. Now I bought a Capture One Plate from my Friend Igor in Cleveland. A Hartblei Kiev 88 1006 Ground Glass Adapter and Hartblei Stovepipe make for sharp viewing on the ground glass. Remove the GG Adapter, and pop on the CFV16 Hasselblad Digital Back. A cable is necessary to the front camera shutter, it is necessary to activate the back. 16MP CCD Fat Pixel goodness on a Technical Camera that is outstandingly sturdy and vibration free. The necessary cable is now on it's way to from the Netherlands. Cool Stuff ahead, I also bought a Hasselblad Firewire Cable (the one that comes with it), so I can tether this beastie to a Laptop. Looking for the right Firewire to USB Adapter at Micro Center. Recently I bought the Hasselblad modern Stovepipe so I can use that if I want to.
