No problem. Thanks for participating in APUG!

The higher the pixel counts and prices go on the H Series cameras, the sooner I'll be able to buy a used Phase One or Imacon digital back for my 503CXi. The investment in all my 'blad lenses will not have gone for nothing in the end. Three cheers for Hasselblad's superb engineering which makes their product lines so upward compatible. You can use a digital back on a 50 year old 500C body and get image quality which beats that out of a full frame DSLR all to hell. Then you can put your old A12 back on it and go shoot some film.
Rather than get a digital back [I do my own developing and wet printing], I use my Epson 4490 Photo scanner and get about 320 megapixels for a 6cm x 6cm negative if I need a digital image. The scanner cost about $100US. A 60 megapixel scanner runs what about $40,000US to $60,000US. Do you know how much film I could shoot and have all it custom developed and printed for that kind on money? Plus I would have to buy a new faster computer, software and a RAID storage system to hold the images.
I would rather buy beer instead!
I find there's such a preponderance of heads in the sand, wishful thinking, and clutching at straws on this site that a sense of the the tough real commercial World needs injecting sometimes, if Hasselblad concentrated their efforts on primarily producing film cameras in this day and age it would be a one way ticket for them to bankruptcy, their only hope of survival is to produce medium format DSLR cameras that can compete in improved their image quality with 35mm DSLR s.How dare you let facts get in the way of emotion......![]()
