Does this camera work using a Hasselblad x2d as the digital back? What adapters would integrate this camera with that back?
Asked by: matias
The Hasselblad X2D Medium Format Mirrorless Camera cannot be used as a digital back for the Cambo WRS-5000 Technical Camera (Rosewood). You could use the Cambo ACTUS-XCD View Camera Body with Hasselblad XCD Bayonet Mount (Black), BH #CAACTUSCAMB, with the Hasselblad X2D Medium Format Mirrorless Camera.
