I want to go back-packing with my Credo back and I was thinking that getting a Horseman DB View Camera Converter and some large format wide-angle lenses would be lighter and more versatile than my present setup which uses a Flexbody (which has less movement options than the View Camera Converter but may be lighter) and Hasselblad lenses (most often, the 40mm IF lens and sometimes the 150mm lens) which I guess are heavier than the equivalent view camera lenses.
But then I understand that view camera lenses may not be as sharp as Hasselblad lenses at comparable apertures because they are generally designed for use on larger film formats and do not have to produce the fine resolution required for 120 film and digital equivalents.
So, my questions are:
1. Would large format wide-angle lenses be lighter than the equivalent Hasselblad V series lenses?
2. Would large format lenses be just as sharp as the equivalent Hasselblad V series lenses at the same apertures or would I have to stop down further to get the same sharpness?
3. Would my plan to use a View Camera Converter and large format lenses give me enough weight saving to be worthwhile, say, 1kg or more?
Any assistance would be appreciated. I think I want to be steered away from the purchase of another camera outfit!!!
