Can I use my Hasselblad/Imacon digital back with the ALPA?
As Hasselblad is not really willing to commit that there can result problems when using Hasselblad digital backs together with mechanical Copal shutters, we have to add some clear words here. The guidance/work arounds we give here got derived from our own experiences. Please note that we are not responsible for wrong manipulation, failures or technical damage. We try to help our customer to solve issues other manufacturers deny to explain. Newer Hasselblad backs do work with mechanical Copal shutters but the user has to consider some work arounds in order to avoid synch problems. We informed Hasselblad since early 2008 but got ignored ostentatiously. We talked with them being our booth neighbor during Photokina 2008 and they denied a problem again blaming first lens manufacturers and later Copal. Only after sending them lenses in Copal shutters and an ALPA (in order to take real world pictures) they confirmed a problem with their implementation/working procedure of their backs. Digital
