A Hasselblad, more than 40 years after first looking.

Experimenting with my 19mm f/4 PC Nikkor lens on the 907x in ‘Xpan’ format. Covers fine but because the lens has an electronically-controlled aperture I can only use the lens at f/32. No real issues with shooting stopped-down like that but it does show any little dust marks on the sensor.

I'm happy overall with my Hasselblad CFV16, one thing I like about is how easy it is to use. Being the original it was marketed directly to the film V users. In fact I enjoy using it so much (and also in new ways) that I have found and just bought a backup CFV16. I prefer using the Model I versus the CFV16II, didn't like the screen, and a couple of other things on the II.

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.
