Hi forum
My name is Hubert. This is my first post here on the forum, but I must say I have benefited lots from following it in the past couple of years. So first of all let me thank you all for so generously sharing your knowledge. I shoot with a 500cm setup with the 50/80/150 lens combo. My site is here at: http://www.hubertphoto.com
I have recently acquired an used P20 back for my 500CM. Not surprisingly, with the help with digital I am seeing that my camera body is perhaps out of alignment, Every single picture comes out blurry, regardless the lens, shutter speed, or aperture, except perhaps the problem being more serious on the 50mm. it's test on a tripod.
Here are my questions:
- The Phase One manual says to place the screen mask under the ground glass. I can see that the mask isn't resting on the 4 tiny screws under the glass, therefore maybe not adding any thickness between the ground glass and mirror. Is it safe to say then that the mask isn't the problem?
- My camera body was CLAed last year in Vancouver by one of the very reputable technicians here in town. I was wondering if adjustments for film backs is any different from that for digital backs? Do I need to send the camera body to any special repair service to make the body "digital ready"? If that's the case, do I go to Phase One because it's their back, or Hasseblad because it's their body? If I do this, will I make the digital back only compatible with this body because of the adjustments? Will the adjustments render the film backs out of focus?
Thanks very much guys. I will appreciate any thoughts on this!
