Thanks Douglas.

Yes. Some months back I acquired a clean, used Hasselblad CF-39 Back (not 
the later CFV-39) for my 500CM V body.

The used price, a bit over $3K, seemed about all I'd ever be able to spend 
in order to resuscitate my Hasselblad system.

It also works on my Cambo Ultima View camera.

The CF-39 is 2007 technology. Yet produces gorgeous files at a small 
fraction of the original $22K cost.

No "High ISO" performance. 400 is usable. Slow meditative photography; with 
a spot meter; tripod; etc. I enjoy it immensely and feel quite blessed to 
have the 'blad out of the case again.

Back when these were first released I rented them occasionally for 
commercial gigs; never thought I'd be able to have one available to me on a 
daily basis.


a note off the iPad, George
