The baffle is used to protect the film during viewing. It is not used to time exposures. The real shutter is inside the lenses... a leaf shutter.... And it is low inertia, quiet and would not make any noticeable vibration, especially with a camera as heavy as a Hasselblad. How do the Digital backs play with the shutters? I think Bob can answer that one...... The reputedly best of the best Hasselblad traditional lens is the 100 Planar. Given the sensor of these new Phase One backs is 54x40.4 mm, the native format ratio is 4:3. Same as traditional 645. The back costs $40,000.
