[QUOTE="LD5050, post: 15400565, member: 172512"] I inherited a 503cw a few years ago, and out of all grandad's cameras, this one is the most special. He used it more than any other, and I would love to start using it myself. And adding digital capability is the only way to do it, for me. Looking at a used CFV39 digital back, which I can get for roughly $5k. It's the goldilocks CFV digital back, right in between the 16mp ($2k) and 50mp ($10k) versions. I'm open to other brands (Phase1, etc) but only the CFV models blend perfectly with the V body, and they also are the only back that doesn't require a sync cable. I know I can get more megapixels for less money, but like I stated above this camera is very special to my family and is worth going the extra mile ($-wise and learning curve-wise) to put it into regular use. Anybody here have experience coupling a digital back with a Hassy (V or H series)? I've read as much as I could find on the professional camera forums, but could use some "layman terms" advice, warnings, or words of wisdom. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
