All my answers to your questions are YES .
I came to these answers also , just by trying out .
And I found , it is valid for my workflow , that , if the vertical bars reach up to 80% , I get the most image information , although lower and higher exposures still result i a "green light good exposure"
I do not claim , that my kind of work is perfect .
So , who ever knows it better , please post it here .

Sorry , I have to contradict you here .
Seriously .
The CFV is no dino at all and also no throwback .
The CFV is a logical , fantastic and necessary supplement for the V-SYSTEM . And it also looks good .
The V-SYSTEM is the most successful MF-SYSTEM which has ever been built and it is not dead .
It is often copied and has never ever been reached in design , compatibility and quality . It has reached a worldwide reputation , without that , the H-SYSTEM would be a "nothing" .
Who would buy an H-SYSTEM , if it would not carry the name HASSELBLAD ? ? ?
But , before the tears run down your cheek now , and as you know , it is true what I said about the wonderful V-SYSTEM , don't take things too serious .
. I have nothing against you , the opposite is true . Believe me .
And I have a little goody for you here .

A SW camera from 1957 with a CFV DIGITAL back from 2007 .
50 years difference in age , and it works . I have tried it out .
It is true , a digital back , which needs a sync cable is not a real progress , but might be a necessity .
But at the time , that beautiful SW was built , nobody even knew , what a digital back is .
Long live the fantastic V-SYSTEM .
BTW , the image was taken with a LUMIX G1 and KONICA M-HEXANON 2/50 lens .
