I'm really going to enjoy shooting with this new Hasselblad 907X Medium Format kit!
... at least until I wake up from my dream.

Well you can get TWO for FREE. All you have to do is pick them up....
After the successful shooting on 21 July 1969, the Hasselblad was hoisted up to the lunar lander with a line. Securely removing the film magazines, both cameras with lenses were left behind on the Moon in order to meet narrow weight margins for successful return.
I knew youβd be over the moon about it.Sweet! I'll start working on my rocket today!
On DP Review, I saw that a company "I'm back" is making a digital back for the Hasselblad. Much negative comment. They also allegedly have one for that old film SLR residing in your bottom drawer.
Did a lot of work with 'blads and Bronicas over the years. Studio portraiture and weddings. Never owned one myself, tho. My medium format cameras were Mamiya TLR's. Lens interchangeability was the deciding factor there. And of course, money.
I have a Cannon SLR that I inquired about a digital back for it and was told there's none! That was about 2 years ago, maybe someone has developed one by now, or I got the wrong information in the beginning. I love that camera and have 4 extra lenses for it, but I'm not into processing 35mm film anymore. PJ
Not much advantage to a larger digital camera format camera IMHO. Bulky, clumsy things with not much in R.O.I. If you were doing ad shots and studio work, maybe. Just get more glass and goodies for your Canon. :thumbsup:
I wonder if my lenses would fit a new Cannon digital SLR. I'm not a camera buff, so it might be a dumb question. The telephoto lens has an automatic focus setting if needed, which I used due to my eyes not being the best. It was expensive at the time, reason I'd like to see if it would adapt to a new camera. PJ
Not a dumb question/ Possibly with an adaptor, depending on which lens mount you have and which Camera you are trying to mount it to. The Canon EF Mount, for example, came out in 87 as a digital camera only mount. It has been the standard for years for digital untill recently. Canon has now introduced a new mount, the R Mount, for their new line of digital "mirrorless" cameras. The EF mount can me mounted to the new "R" cameras with an adaptor. Similarly my Canon T-70 Film camera uses an old "FD" mount, but those old FD lenses can be mounted to my EF-Mount digital camera with an adaptor. (I've not tried it).
Tans Basil, something I'm going to check on. PJ
