Old thread response, but what a drop from $4000/2150 in 2003 to $800-1300 in 2020.

I have one inbound from Spain. I am excited to try it on film and the new CFV ll. The condition was represented as excellent and the photos in the sale indicate that could be true. In any event, at 800 USD, it may be worth the risk.

I agree. I am becoming a fan of the electronic shutter (Live View and Mirror locked up). I am shooting so much now with the new back, Im a month behind in editing.

1/2000, yes. This digital is manual as it gets. The camera shutter or lens shutter controls the exposure. Once you trigger the shutter this is what happens: 1. mirror springs up, the sensor starts to record, shutter opens. 2. Shutter closes 3. Sensor stops recording when you release the shutter button. The sensor is recording about a second. The only light it sees is limited by the 2003 for 1/2000. Shorter exposures are no problem. The long exposures require more coordination on the release of the shutter button. An alternative procedure is to use the bulb setting on the camera and use live view with the electronic shutter. It works fine. Great fun.

Confirmed. I picked up my 907x/CFV50 ll from Cameras West last week. I tested the new back on: 2000, 2003 and the 203 (as well the 500cm). Will be using it on a SWC and a flexbody. So far, it works as advertised. Anybody interested in a mint CFV50 l?

Good news for 2000/203 owners. The new CVF50 2 does not require any modifications. Use the CFV50c on the 500s and get the CVF50-2 for the 2000FW and 2003FCW. Hasselblad CFV50C ll: (Page 53) 5.11 THE CFV ON A 200 OR 2000 CAMERA Previous generations of the CFV required a small modification to the camera to work. This is no longer necessary but if you have a modified 200-camera you should use the 200 Modified setting. Unmodified 200-cameras must use the 200 setting. A 2000-camera requires the 2000 setting. Note! A camera that has been modified is identified by a label on the left side as shown in (A). Note! The camera cannot read the ISO value set on the CFV. If using any automatic mode on the camera, please set corresponding ISO value also on the camera. Note! You can release the camera even if the CFV is not ready for a capture. Please make sure the status LED on the CFV is green before releasing the camera. The basic operation is described in the quick start chapter on page 16. ● Depending on your camera, set camera body type to 200 Modified, 200 or 2000 as described on page 73. START LIVE VIEW 1 Set B mode on the lens. If using an F type lens, no special setting is required. 2 Use a lockable cable release and set it to lock mode (B). 3 Activate live view from the Control Screen (LV). 4 Release the camera with the cable release. 5 Press the Menu Button or Play/On-Off button to end Live View. 6 Open the cable release lock.

This got dark.

This is my first post. I have acquired a 203FE and a CFV50c. I need the modification for the 203FE for the CVF50c. Reading the problems with NJ has me very concerned. Imacon, B23 or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
