![]() Are lenses from Hasselblad good for this shifting lens standard as the fact that they are designed for 6cm x 6cm film?ģ. ![]() The rear standard and front standard are connected by a bellow. Of course, shifting function is added to the lens standard. Just come to an idea that to put Hasselblad lenses on a DIY camera body where I attach the digital back. Whereas GX680 could do the job since it offers rise/fall of lens standard but lenses are not as sharp as Hasselblads'. I like Hasselblad lenses which give me very sharp and colorful pictures but no shift to correct vertical lines when shooting buildings. I put a Leaf Aptus 22 back to Hasselblad and Fuji GX680. I will do some further testing this weekend, and will report back on my findings.Currently face a dilemma of adapting digital back to traditional camera. My testing should resolve which is at fault, the lenses, or back, or battery, or technique. But I need to prove this in some way before I start to have lenses repaired. I realize that the problem may be due to lens/shutter synch problems only to do with the lens, and nothing to do with the back. There are some stories that when changing lenses, you must shut down the back then change lens than turn the back on again to make it synch reliably. I was told to try to squeeze the cable release slowly, fast, gently, etc. thus my thought that it has more to do with timing ( gating) than battery issues. I did try to put the back on a Hasselblad 2003 body, which sometimes worked and other times ( limited testing) failed, but in the same way that I was having trouble with the 500 body. I no longer have the Aptus II in my possession, so further testing is impossible on that body. Same temp, same batteries, same camera, same synch cord, same lens. Note that I had an Aptus II-5 body and the Aptus 65 at the same time. I also have 2 different synch cords from camera to back. All fired off the flash as you would expect. All of these lenses were tested with a flash ( no digital back). Could be that both the 50 and 120 need synch tune-up. When I briefly tried a 120 lens I had problems. Thus my suspicion that the 50 might need a synch tune-up. The 50 was having trouble considerably more often than the 80. I was using 2 lenses on the same body, the 80 and the 50. If I was having trouble in mirror up mode, then switched to "regular" mode, the problem many times ( not always) immediately goes away. The problem seems to be more susceptible in mirror up mode. At other times the temp was closer to freezing, or below, when changing batteries for the "fresh" one helped. At one time I was having difficulties, the batteries were freshly charged and the temperature was around 65F. I have 2 batteries, one purchased new, one presumably used. I do have a Sony A7R and on paper I guess that sensor outperforms the Aptus in everyting, but I can honestly say that I much much rather both work with and print from the Aptus! But there are times when I feel for certain images the Aptus II 5 is a better choice and I happily reach for that one instead! Nowadays I print large and have an advantage using the Credo 60. Sorry for the beatup term, but for once you can actually say - the most 'filmlike' back out there. But in the right condition it produces files that have a certain magic. In other words - this back needs light - lots of light. I use mine as a fixed iso25 since already at iso50 you see raised levels of noise and at the same time going past 5-6 seconds exposure also introduce noise.not easy sometimes. However, the biggest downside in my mind is the combination of native iso25 and noise introduced with longish exposures. Some worry about moire, yes, I have seen it, but easily corrected in post and I have not seen it as a major problem. Allows for lots of movements on a tech cam. It is forgiving and legacy glass can be used with excellent results. It even beats my Credo 60 in these departments. PM sent, but thought I'd share some thoughts here as well as an Aptus II 5 user.įirst of all, it is a special back with beautiful texture, depth and colour in the files.
