Title: Contax 645 and digital back
Post by: evgeny on March 11, 2008, 10:16:57 am
Hi,

I recently bought a Contax 645 system and have two questions:

1. Please recommend a bag for Contax 645 with 140mm/Hood and Grip *attached*.

2. Please tell me how to select a digital back for Contax 645. Most digital backs on eBay are for the Hasselblad, but I think there should be an adapter to attach H1/H2/V backs to Contax 645. I'm new to this, please teach me, preferably in details, how to know which back can work on Contax 645. I would like to spend around $5K for a back on eBay, so I'm probably limited in 16-22Mpix backs.

Thank.
Evgeny

You need to repost this in the MF forum

You cant adapt a blad mount back to a contax as far as I am aware.

Contax will take..

Phase one contax mount backs

Leaf, contax mount backs

Imacon backs with adapter plate

Sinar backs with adapter plate

Eyelike backs with adapter plate

Kodak 645C

no modern hassy backs
