38 Biogon with full-frame digital backs
« on: November 12, 2011, 11:31:30 am »

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but does anyone use the larger chip backs with the Hasselblad Superwide?
From my film experience with the 38 Biogon, I'd think it might hold up pretty well.

Thanks,

Bill

I had great experience with it, on a 48x36 sensor. (I sold my V digi back recently.) Sharp to the edges, no strange color casts. I'd say it's not as sharp and doesn't offer as much resolution as the lenses designed for digital backs (the Hasselblad H lenses, the digitars, etc.), but overall it was great and a pleasure to use.

Thanks so much, John, somehow I missed that when it came out. The common theme, I suppose
is that retrofocus WA's work a little better with digital backs, re: Rodenstock vs. Schnieder.
Like you though, I sure like the idea of a small camera for walking around. I've always loved "hand cannons."
