Title: More versatile multishot DB?
Post by: favalim on November 22, 2013, 12:55:27 pm

Hello, I need to upgrade to a multishot DB but I need to use it on a view camera and also on a MF camera; wich is the best option in order to have  versatility to switch from one to another and quality?

Thanks
Marco

if it needs to be a MS camera you only have choice from 2 brands. One of them doesn't have a screen on its MS back and no option for carrying a battery making it less suitable to use in single shot mode on a MF body.

Your best option IMO is one of the HB MS backs. Anything older than a H3d39MS will not make use of DAC.

If you really need MS I would look for any of these CF39MS, H3D39MS (or H3DII/H4) or a H3/4/5 50 MS.
