View Camera solutions
With digital photography it has become easier to work the tilt/shift
mechanism of a view camera and hereby achieve a special photo-
graphic expression. the digital solutions however, are still heavy to
bring into the field, and controls to place the wanted focus correctly
are not optimal.
New ground breaking developments on the H3d camera system
allow for direct tilt/shift work using the new HtS1.5 tilt/shift
adapter, and the new HVC view camera adapter kit allows for
classic view camera work both un-tethered and with new levels of
focus control.
the CF/CF-MS/CFV digital back can also be mounted onto a view
camera platform.
View Camera Connectivity
All Hasselblad digital camera products can work with view cameras.
two options are available to physically attach the digital capture
unit to the view camera. the first is known as a live Video adapter,
as the only method of composing and focusing the image is done via
the live Video controls in Phocus. the second is the Sliding adapter
that allows use of a conventional ground glass screen for composition
and the ability to then slide the back in place. these items are easily
obtainable from third party suppliers.
Both the H3d camera products and the CF range of digital backs have
a sophisticated interface,and allow micro-processor controlled connec-
tions to electronic shutters for full control capture mode (single-shot,
multi-shot) and of aperture, shutter and exposure.
the remaining digital products are triggered by a simple flash sync
connection. a summary is outlined in the table below.
the digital capture unit of the H3d and the 503CWd camera
products can be removed and mounted on a view camera platform.
Please refer to links at the end of the Datasheet.

New HtS1.5 tilt/shift adapter solutions
For its H3dii camera products Hasselblad also offers the simple
HtS1.5 tilt/shift adapter solution, which enlarges the image circle
and thereby provides for a light, portable, easy to use solution
with a +/- 18mm shift (half image size) and +/-10 degrees of tilt.
the adapter works with 4 lenses: HCd 28mm, HC35mm,
HC50mm, and HC80mm.
Illustration shows: H3DII-31 with the HTS1.5 adapter and the
HCD 28mm lens. For details, please refer to separate datasheet.

CF-line digital back solutions for View Cameras
general Connection Options Manual Flash Sync
-
if you are used to focus and compose you images using the live video
functionality, then you can mount the CF-line digital backs directly onto
a view camera with H-camera or V-camera interface, using correspond-
ing i-adapters on the CF digital back.
a method is required to physically trigger the lens shutter and the
digital back simultaneously. this can be done via a very simple flash
sync connection or via a sophisticated electronic interface.
Using a manual copal type lens, connection is made from the lens
flash sync to the Sync in port on the digital unit. therefore when the
exposure is triggered on the lens, the digital unit receives a signal to
expose simultaneously. if flash lighting is required then connection is
made from the Sync Out port on the digital unit to the flash equipment.
This applies to all models.
if you prefer to focus and compose using a ground glass with a loupe
Hasselblad can recommend sliding adapters from linhof - available
with interface for either the i-adapter for a H-camera or for a V-camera.
the sliding adapter is available from linhof. a number of features
including viewfinder, loupe, and ground glass are available.
Flash Sync with Electronic Shutters
Having connected the elements of the view camera solution,
you simply choose your capture mode in Phocus.
From now your controls when working tethered include:
• exposure time
the use of an electronic shutter with a flash sync connection may be
more convenient as it prevents the user disturbing the lens to adjust
exposure settings or allow easier access to make these adjustments.
Please note that using an electronic shutter in this way requires an
interface from the manufacturer to allow aperture selection, Shutter
Speed and Capturing control.
• aperture
• capture single shot
• capture multi shot (for CF-line multi shot products)
• live video
Full Control with Electronic Shutters
two systems are supported by Hasselblad, from Schneider and Rollei.
Both of these systems comprise of a battery or mains powered control
unit, connection interface to the electronic shutter/lens, connection
interface to a digital capture unit and flash synchronisation output.
the control unit will allow the user to select aperture setting, shutter
speed and trigger the exposure.
the CF-line digital backs connect to the electronic shutters/lenses
with separate connecting cables for the Schneider or for the Rollei
electronic shutter. See item numbers at the end of this document.
Working un-tethered the control of the electronic shutters takes place
from the user interface on the digital capture unit.
digital lenses
Schneider and Rodenstock manufacture digital lenses, which can
be supplied with the electronic shutter already fitted from Schneider
or Rollei. this must be specified at ordering time. Equally, the view
camera must have a front lens board that will accept the electronic
shutter and lens. Rodenstock and Schneider can advise on the correct
type of lens board for popular view cameras. Very wide angle lenses
require recessed lens boards to get the lens physically close enough
to the sensor in the digital capture unit. Please refer to links below for
details on the lens program and availability.

external flash equipment can be connected.
Schneider supplies all cables and equip-
ment.
Schneider electronic shutter connections
this system works with a simple cable connection and small control
box. this has a single red button that is only used for opening and
closing the shutter for focus and composition. all aperture settings,
shutter speeds and triggering capture are made from Phocus.
Rollei electronic shutter connections - Rollei lens Control S
Unlike the Schneider system, the Rollei lens Control - S must be
used in conjunction with a control panel. this will allow use of the
Hasselblad CF digital back in a studio or portable situation, either
working tethered to FlexColor or working untethered capturing to
Compact Flash media or the image Bank.
The yellow flash symbol indicates where
external flash equipment can be connected.

Cable # 50300168.
