Back to the future


If you have a spare $ 15,000.00 burning a hole in your pocket, Hasselblad has Just introduced  for you a new digital back for its V System camera bodies. This  will allow  the taking of  modern digital images to users of vintage film-era Hasselblad camera bodies. The Hasselblad CFV-50c back has a 43.8 x 32.9mm [smaller than the 6X6cm film format] CMOS sensor that  will produce images at a resolution of up to 8272 x 6200 pixels, and operates within an ISO range of 100-6400. The older backs would only go up to ISO 800. It's an interesting development for those who have  the old cameras.
