Hasselblad Flexbody

Can an X2D be adapted to the rear of a Flexbody ? If so, who makes the adapter ?
Thanks.

No, sorry. You bought the wrong camera.
The 907X with the CFV 100c digital back is the one to use. The 100c digital back clips onto any V-body (as is the FlexBody) and lets you shoot digitally. However, it’s not square but shoots in 6x4.5, not 6x6.
You can get a XV adapter to shoot v-lenses directly on the 907X, or use XCD without adapter.
I love using the 907X but find the screen on the digital back difficult to see in broad daylight.
Why am I here: thinking about getting a FlexBody to use with my digital back and finding these discussions extremely helpful
 
Having used a Linhof Terchnika 5 x 4, I think I would find the movements a little limited and also quite time consuming. I'd used Hasselblads for over 30 years, having sold my last piece several years ago, with my go to for property work being the SWC, and wasn't even aware of the Flexbody until recentlky when a friend of mine asked if I could sell his Hassel gear after an accident which is going to severely limit his movements, not the cameras:). The only piece of Hassel gear I now "own", is the Tie pin that came with the last 500 CM I bought from new.
 
Well I bit the bullet and ordered an Arcbody kit which seems to have all the needed components as described by Deon. Thank you Deon for your interesting and useful posts. Looking forward to experimenting with a film back and the CFV100C!
