Title: Digital Back for Medium Format?
Post by: RGebbiePhoto on November 20, 2008, 15:03

We own a Zenza Bronica SQ-A medium format camera, and was wondering if anyone had any information on a digital back for it.

We found Hasselblad lists one, but haven't found one for this camera.  Does anyone have any ideas? Know of an adapter?

Thanks for your help!

Hi RG,

 Have you looked into the Leaf Aptus 65 line. It is only a 28 megapixel back but the price is good at $14K and they have been in the digital image business since the start. Their add says adapters for " most " medium format backs. Take a look. I have two Mamiya 645D bodies and lenses that I would let go for a good price. I know they fit all the medium format backs out there.

Best,
AVAVA

When I buy my imacon flexframe 30x20, maybe 7-8 years ago, I own a zenza SQA system and , because there was not the adapter plate for zenza, my mechanical lab modify (say destroy) a film back holder for it. Only to know too late that because the zenza sqa don't fit motor grip (onli SQA-I can) and for it don't work with digital backs. So I have bought a new mamiya 645 pro TL system, with 3 lens, extension tube, viewfinder, motorgrip, etc... Four month after Mamiya announced the new AF body and the new system with lenses that don't fit the older body.  Times are changed but I don't know if SQA work with today digital backs. Now I want to go Hasselblad, so if you like to buy this gear I will be happy.
