and thank you all .
With your contributions , you helped me to get my frustration and doubts under control .
I slowly get my mental balance again .
For a psycological exercise , i loaded a roll of film and took a couple of shots . What a great feeling .
Yes Richard , film has magic and still lives and i am shure , it will still live for a long time .
Wilko , no matter , wheather the problem , i experienced with my CFV is a software , or a hardware problem , or even both , it should not happen . At the current state of development and production , these products should have reached a mature and stable quality . Especially when you look at the price .
I am quite shure , HASSELBLAD will never tell me the truth .
So you go out for shooting with the uncertainty in your head , wheather your back will fail again , or not . What a miserable imagination .
Marc , I have uploaded the latest firmware , which is R179 , right at the beginning . I have all the latest levels in OSX , FLEXCOLOR and CFV and also have learned a lot since . Also by your qualified contributions and your experience , you are willing to share with others .
I dont have the chance for a replacement back . Too far away from any dealer . What , if that happens in the Australien outback ? ? Would the kangaroos bring you the replacement back , your dealer is willing to give you ? Shurely not .
And , honestly , you must admit , that would not be the solution either .
If you have the option to format the CF card , it must work .
If you have the option to delete one or more images from the CF card , it must work .
If you have the option to use tethered mode , it must work .
Plus +++++++
The back is designed for that , and you have payed for that .
Also by no means , you should be able to bring your back into "dead mode" . No matter which key you press and in which sequence . In other words , handling errors should be impossible .
Careful handling , when inserting or removing CF cards and/or cables should not cause any damage at all .
So , i am impatiently waiting for the outcome and the return of my back .
In the meantime , i will review my questions and the answers to them .
And shoot some rolls of film .
