question

Do you know if I can use this back on a Mamiya 645 Pro TL using the Hasselblad Adapter kit (B&H # HAAKM645P) or do you have any suggestions of a back that I can use on the Mamiya 645 Pro TL?
Asked by: Anonymous
The CFV-50 Digital Back is dedicated for current Hasselblad cameras only. The adapter Plate Kit for CF/CF-MS Digital Backs (B&H # HAAKM645P) is not compatible with the CFV-50, unfortunately CF/CF-MS Digital Backs are no longer available. I double checked with Mamiya and the 645 Pro TL body has no compatible back options or capabilities. Digital backs do require some connectivity to the body and lens to function and the Pro TL body which pre dates digital technology does not have the needed circuitry.
