Size 52 x 39 mm

live-video: yes, it's supported through the software captureshop.
On hasselblad V type camera's and with sinarP2  view camera you need a live video adapter in front of the lens.

I tested it, and found it to bulky, but it gives you an on screen groundglass with scheipflug and focus support.
Needless to say that your monitor needs to be close to the camera, if you use it for focussing. It did not match my workflow therefor.

I would be using it with Sinar P2 and P3, and as a spare DSLR on a Hasselblad 555 ELD.

What does the live video adaptor do, can you use it with all lenses (including my f6 900mm, with a 150mm front element), and what does it cost?

Since posting the above, I have spoken to the UK Sinar Guru (about my P3 order), and the "live video adaptor" is the LC (liquid crystal) shutter, and you can only use it for lenses with a front filter thread of 80 to 100 mm, and only tethered to captureshop.

I suppose that your info is correct, I once received that LC shutter from sinar Belgium to test, and I used it on the P2.
However, as I mentioned, I didn't like the workflow.

Why do you use liveview for, composition?

The back only works tethered, no inside buffer or CF-cards.
