Title: Lubitel 166+ and digital back
Post by: Guillaumeperret on August 08, 2013, 02:22:49 pm
Hi everyone,

I have a lubitel 166+ (kind of cheap Rolleiflex) and I want to attach a digital back. (Leaf aptus 65 with V fit)
I want to use the synch cord of the camera. But it doesn't works.
Do you know if there is a solution?

I post this image, it's not mine, I found it on the web but it represent what I try to do.

Thank you for your help!!

Sorry about my English. :D

Guillaume

Some shutters don't have enough continuity to trigger the back when fired. My old Hasselblad 50mm C lens with the Synchro shutter won't reliably trigger a Phase back.

Thx you for your answer.
I think you're right.
Someone at Kapture Group told me that with a Oneshot cable it will be ok.

I have bought one and I will try with it when I received the cable.

If it won't trigger with a one shot cable check the continuity of the PC sync.  My 50mm C lens on a Blad had issues.
