The thing to do is get the lenes before they come out with the R system
resurrection if that somehow started looking like it was going to happen as
I hear the glass now you can get for a steal. Miracles have been known to
happen.

I relate as my Hassy glass is worth peanuts now and sits and waits and I'm
waiting for the timing to make them useful and worth more though I don't
care I'd never sell any of it for anything.

But the new just out this week Hassy CFV-50 back for the v system might make
for lots of the CFV-39 backs start selling for cheap. And that's my big
break.
I'm ready for my close-up with my Zeiss 120 macro or 100 3.5.
And I am really ok with 39 Mpixels (5412 x 7212 pixels) Sensor dimensions:
36.7 x 49.0 mm (Lens factor 1.1) and 36.7 x 36.7 mm (Lens factor 1.5)
So my Hassy solution may have already started to plop plop fizz fizz.
