Good advice Leo. And the PC Sync on the lens must work or your back won't 
fire....

Richard,

One thing to look out for when buying old Hassys for use with digital 
backs...be 
sure to check out the 2 clips  on the bottom of the camera that hold the 
back 
on.  Lots of times they are really worn and will only loosely hold the back 
in 
place.  This can cause all kinds of focusing problems with digital backs. 


I used mostly the 100 and 150 and 50 lenses...the 80's tend to be plentiful 
and 
cheap.  


Thanks!
