15 SEC F22.5 90mm 5.6 Norma Super Angulon CFV16 by Nokton48, on Flickr

First test of Hasselblad CFV16 Digital Back, 4x5 Sinar Norma as a Retro Technical Camera. 47mm F8 Norma Recessed Custom Board, 65mm F8 Norma Super Angulon, 75mm F5.6 Norma Super Angulon, and this one, taken with 90mm F5.6 Norma Super Angulon. Fifteen Seconds at F22, lens precisely focused on the loupe in center back. Could use a bit more DOF the back is set to fifteen seconds in the menu. It's finally ALIVE!!!! Special Hasselblad Cable connects the Digital Back to the Sinar Norma Shutter. I take the Norma Shutter out when I am using the 47mm F8.

I'm starting to use this CFV16 Hasselblad Fat Pixel setup and I really like it. The Norma Super Angulons are sharp and contrasty, and I can apply all camera movements precisely if I desire. So also I am repurposing what I already have. With the Norma Shutter and Auto Aperture Mickey Mouse Aperture Controlled Norma Lenses (matching complete set), this will do everything I want, and is FUN to use.

Matching Trio Kern Arau Apo Repro Lenses 210mm 300mm 360mm by Nokton48, on Flickr

A Matching Trio of Kern Arau Apo-Repro Lenses. These three are in the Norma Catalog and I've finally found all three. Need to do some metalwork to attach them to these correct Norma Boards. On two of them I have removed the Aperture Control Mechanisms and finished up the holes. I'll be using these, the 210mm F6.8, the 300mm F9, and the 360mm F11.
