Picture taken with the Hasselblad CF-39 back and an ALPA 12 SWA with Rodenstock Apo-Sironar digital HR 4.0/60 mm

All Sinarbacks from Sinar and the backs from eyelike Jenoptics that are capable to synchronize via Flash Sync can get used with the ALPA.

This is very simple: Just select the 'large format mode' on your Leaf back and connect the flash sync socket of the Copal shutter with the digital back.

You can use a separate hand-held meter or you can simply guess.

The phenomenon of color shift (areas of red or green color cast) can occur when using wide angle lenses together with digital backs.

Yes, the backs from Hasselblad - and the former Imacon - work if they are not of the closed H1D and H2D type.

Switching to a digital workflow is sometimes a complex process. Here our (so far) 12 golden rules to the digital path - or what is worth considering.

Diffraction is a physical effect in general. In photography it is an optical effect that can limit the total resolution.

Ever more frequently digital backs use ever-smaller pixels (at present more than 60 MP at 6 µm size).

Not everyone wants to photograph digitally, and not everyone wants to do so exclusively.

Photographers who aim for high-end picture quality cannot simply “hang” a digital back onto the familiar old film camera.

These are three unwelcome but usually removable side effects when photographing with digital backs.

Shift, swing and tilt are purposeful displacements of the picture axis against the lens’ axis.
