Which Hasselblad digital back, used?

[RezaLoghme]

How about the option to use existing Hasselblad lenses on an existing Hasselblad digital camera?

You could go for an H4/5/6D with digital back, then find the C to H lens adapter......retaining your investment in C/CF glass?

I think that is the best idea.

Way back when I was using V Series Hasselblads, I wanted one of those.

Eventually I came to terms with reality and switched to Leica M system, which is as modular and versatile like hell. It even has EVFs, which helped me to overcome focus issues I had with WLFs.

So, while the OP's idea is totally relatable, I gave up and just switched to a more integrated solution. The current V-"lookalike" from HB is tempting, but then again it has a whiff of "retro cosplay" instead of "the real thing". But maybe that is just me...

The 907x system is interesting but yes, try taking a vertical photo with it and it becomes less interesting.

I think the X2DII is a great, mature system. Their lenses are 'right sized'. The focus is finally good. I use a GFX100 for scanning some things but if they had a proper macro lens for that system I'd consider switching to it. The Fuji's are bloated cameras with often over sized lenses. The X2D reminds me of my Mamiya 6MF. It's just right.

Assuming the OP wants a digital Hasselblad V and not lens adapters to fit other systems, the recent 50 megapixel Hasselblad 907x package is probably what I'd go with. A survey of alternative offerings on *Bay didn't look so hot: There's Phase One and the original Hassy CFV, but these are old enough to require Compact Flash media and Firewire hookups. Which might be fine if they were selling for a few hundred bucks, but for the asking prices that I'm seeing, I wouldn't touch 'em. At the moment 4500 USD seems to be on the low end of *Bay prices for the 907x package which includes the X-system body.

BTW, what's the deal with Hasselblad X2D Mk 1 BTW? Seems relatively "cheap" at ~4000 USD for 100 megapixels. If it's only a matter of so-so autofocus, that might be tolerable.
