Hasselblad CFV II 16.6 MP, Digital Camera Back for Hasselblad V Series Cameras

The Hasselblad CFV digital back is custom built to match the design and functionality of the Hasselblad V system cameras, thus turning the V system camera into a new digital workhorse. Digital capture is extended with tools for powerful digital workflow control with the Hasselblad instant approval architecture. The Hasselblad CFV also fits view cameras using the V system interface plate for mechanical attachment and flash sync connection to trigger the digital capture. Hasselblad CFV thereby brings an ultra high level of integration and flexibility to the professional photographer who needs the best for both mobile and studio shooting.

Hasselblad has developed a new, powerful color profile to be used with its Flexcolor imaging software. Working with the new Hasselblad RGB color profile enables you to produce outstanding, reliable out-of-the box colors, with skin tones, special product gradations, and other difficult colors reproduced effectively. The new 3F RAW file format is designed to ensure that images captured on Hasselblad digital products are quickly, effectively and safely stored on the available media (CF card, imagebank, etc). The file format includes lossless image compression saving 33% of storage space. Combined with the architecture of the Hasselblad back, this allows for capturing up to 35 shots per minute. The 3FR files can be converted directly into Adobe's raw image format DNG ('digital Negative'), bringing this new technology standard to the professional photographer for the first time. The DNG file format enables raw, compressed digital backs image files to be opened directly in Adobe Photoshop. This allows photographers to operate quickly and efficiently, reducing the "downtime" taken to process image data and enabling final images to reach the client more quickly.

Hasselblad has created instant approval architecture (IAA), an enhanced set of feedback tools, designed to liberate the photographer to focus on the shoot rather than the selection process. IAA triggers audible and visible signals for each image captured, telling the photographer immediately whether the image has a red, amber or green light status. The information is recorded both in the file and in the file name, providing a quick and easy way to classify and select images, in the field or in the lab.

Hasselblad CFV offers a choice of the portable CF card storage, tethered operation with extended, special capture controls or optionally the flexible image bank. With these three operating and storage options, the photographer is able to select a mode to suit the nature of the work at hand, whether in the studio or on location.

The Hasselblad CFV combines timeless design with modern technology, providing photographers with seamless integration and unmatched flexibility, for both mobile and studio shooting.
