WARREN CONNECTICUT – This is the beginning of a week of camera experiments. I’ve rented a Hasselblad CFV 100C digital back, which has a largish sensor (twice the size of 35mm), 100 megs of resolution, and is compatible with legacy Hasselblad film cameras. The question I’m asking is should I buy one of these things to use with my 50+ years old Hasselblad cameras.

First off is an experiment with a 30mm XPan lens. With an XPan lens mounted the CFV 100 automatically reverts to the long skinny XPan format. What I learned in shooting with this for a day is that I don’t have much to say shooting in XPan format.

Day 5795 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Looking back 13 years to Salt Lake City. Day 1047 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
