Well, I know Cotty liked his R-D1, but I tried one and found it a pretty clunky pit of kit to work with.
I have a nice Hasselblad V setup (500CM body and two lenses, plus the SWC). A CFV39 back would work quite nicely with the 500CM body and the prices are beginning to approach the stratosphere ... They've been out by the Oort Clouds until recently. I just shoot film with it. :-) Godfrey > On Aug 8, 2014, at 4:30 PM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > > As I understand it, he described the Digital Hasselblads.
