I'm excited to see the results once you get the set-up you're after, Carsten, but I'm surprised the APO 90 isn't on your list. If I could find an adapter that worked for the 645D, I would certainly have to give that lens a try.

Here's one from a family gathering this sunday with the 645D and Hassy C Planar 80/2.8.

It IS on my list... it is quite expensive however, and somehow makes my 80 a little redundant. I am not sure. It has been called the best lens ever made, by some, so I will obviously have to try it at some point, however.

It is pricey, no doubt, though Tom Abbott has one posted over at GetDPI he's letting go for the best price I've seen on one. Looks like a good copy, too, but I doubt it would be much of a bargain for you once you factor in the import duties.

A pano with the 645D and Sonnar 150/2.8...

Hmm, i took a look, but can't find the listing. Could you send me a link? The price new here is 1500 Euro, and the import duties come to about 27%, so there is some leeway. Occasionally it makes sense.

Very, very nice shot!

My first step has been made back into medium format digital:

I recently bought a Sinar Hy6 with the waist level and 45 degree finders. This will replace my Rolleiflex 6008i, and I will keep my current lenses. I do need to find the 4560 back adapter, as well as a 6060 back, which I understand can be quite expensive. I will eventually pick up either a Leaf or Sinar back for it, but I will let my wallet recover from the shock first...

The camera arrived today, and it is a beauty! It is large and heavy, of course, but it...Show more →

Welcome to the club, Carsten!

Thank you, and PM (unfortunately too late) sent.

A couple of panos with the Hassy Planar 100 @ f/11 and f/5.6 respectively.

There are 2 Sinar eMotion 75 digital backs with Hy6 adapters on ebay that should greatly improve your ability to expose images.

One now belongs to me. I bought my camera from the seller of the second one

I hope to have it by the end of the week

Now I am of course not content, but need to figure out how to buy the 40/90/180 lenses I am missing... Hmm. And maybe that 110/2 will pop up one day. I need to sell more stuff... My Leica 180/2 is looking vulnerable...

Congrats, Carsten. Are you enjoying the set-up? I'm not surprised you found a digital back before a 6060. That is one hard to find film back (unless you want to spend more and get a second body with it).

A couple with the Hassy F Tele-Tessar (and I just realized I named these files incorrectly, probably because I was thinking about it in comparison to my Leica R 250/4). The lens reminds me of the Contax 300/4- decently sharp wide open, horrible green and purple fringing that can't be corrected with simple sliders as it will alter any other greens and magentas in the photo. On the plus side, it's nice and light and easy to handhold, which were the primary reasons I picked it up. And the wide open bokeh is nicer than I expected it to be.

Hey, yes, I am enjoying it so far, although I have not had the chance to try it out much, since it is dark so early now, and time has been full. The body is just a sweetheart of a body, really smooth operation, great feel. I do miss a very accurate and easy focusing method, so I might look into a chimney finder, but that might not be very easy to find either.

Beautiful photos, Aleksandr!

Sinar Hy6, eMotion 75LV, Schneider 40/3.5 @ f/8, 29s, ISO 100. The Schneider doesn't have the same micro-contrast as Zeiss lenses, but it is sharp when stopped down a little! Long exposures isn't really the forté of this back, but with a touch of noise reduction, it does okay.

Another one, same camera/lens combination, 1/15s, f/8. I missed focus slightly, but there was enough meat in the file to bring it back.

I cannot imagine how much work is required to cover a house like this with slate! Incredible workmanship.

By the way, these were both shot in Goslar, Germany, at the north edge of the Harz.

Thanks! No, I still ike the A7, I have just been frustrated with the sensor reflections, operation and Auto-ISO implementation. The rest is good, and I still enjoy it mostly. I might upgrade to the A7 II if I can get a decent price for the A7, or sell something else, but I do wish they would fix that Auto-ISO.
