Hasselblad Ixpress v9sC

[Concorde-SST]

Hello Gabriel,

superb Camera you have - I´ve got some Hasselblads too.

I don´t have any experience with Ixpress backs - but my
brother has a Phase One P25 for Hasselblad - its not square,
a 4:3 ratio (I´m not that sure) but the Hasselblad one would
be about the same 6x4.5 cm´s. Quality is AWESOME!!! Better
than film!

Btw - there may be some "bargains" buying a Hasselblad digital
back - you´ll get a new 500-camera for free (at least here in Germany) -
I think a 503CW or so.

hope I could help.

best regards

Andreas

I have a Hasselblad 500 C/M with a complete set of magnificent Zeiss lenses. I have been shooting with Velvia 50 or 100F and scanning it with the Nikon Coolscan 8000. Results are great, however I would like to get digital output faster. So I am thinking of investing in the Hasselblad Ixpress V96C, which has image preview (as opposed to the one you reviewed). The problem will be crop factor and I wonder if also quality will be an issue. My questions are:

- What do you think of the quality of that digital back?
- What is the crop factor it produces?

Many thanks in advance for any answer you can provide me with concerning those issues.
