Title: Experience yet with the Hasselblad CFV39 back?
Post by: Bas Stekelenburg on August 16, 2009, 07:14:52 pm
Is there some experience yet with the Hasselblad CFV39 back?
Because of my old 203FE I am curious to know of quality issues with any of the F-type 50/2.8 to 250/4  lenses. These lenses are NOT covered by the new correcting Phocus software. Is this back worth the $14.000,00?
If you work(ed) with this set, thank you for sharing your experience.

I have one on order, but it hasn't arrived yet.

I don't have the FE 250/4, but do have an FE 50/2.8, FE 110/2 and FE 150/2.8 that I'll be using with it.  Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see shot with any of these lenses.

Best regards,

Bas,

Hasselblad did include V Lens Corrections in Phocus 1.2.1 initially for 9 lenses in the line. We will increase the number of lenses on the list as time goes on and a selection of F lenses will be included in a future Phocus release.

That is wonderful news.  Thanks for this, Paul.
