fabrizio_b. Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 <p>Hi,<br> i own a linhof techinkardan 23 and i would like to use it with my hasselblad cfv digital back (V serie). I have seen on the internet some adapters and i would like to know your experience about that. would you suggest me wich one wuold be the best. I found the widepan:<br> http://www.fotodiox.com/product_info.php?products_id=107<br> is it enough or do i need to buy something else to use it?<br> the price is lower than linhof adapter, is there any differece between the two?</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>fabrizio</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighb Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 <p>The CFV back requires synchronization with the shutter. This can be done using a cable to the shutter sync terminal.</p> <p>As long as you can provide that control, and the back mounts correctly on the camera, it should work.</p> <p>- Leigh</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 <p>With the Linhof adapter you know you will have the proper ground glass/image plane alignment to ensure the sharpest results (assuming the use of the proper optics within their optimization range).</p> <p>Since even their description is erroneous, Linhof never made any Master Technika cameras in any size other then 4x5, you should be wary of any claims made by them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_wong2 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 <p>I found that when you are dealing with this level of precision it is best to got with OEM items.<br> Fotodiox stuff are very good but we are talking about groundglass image plane precision. They probably measure a Linhof and made the calculations where the linhof one is spec'd from the design drawings.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 <p>I'm all for saving a few bucks when possible. But digital backs require a very high level of precision. If I were going to the trouble of shooting digital with a view camera, I'd go with the Linhof adaptor.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
