Well, The newest phaseone body with multi-point focus is great but so is the 
'blad H4D with the multi point focus.  I happen to like the Hasselblad H 
system because you can use all your V system lenses on it, software and 
firmware is continually being upgrade (at no charge).  software interfaces 
easily with lightroom and photoshop and like phaseone regardless of who you 
bought it from new or used they will support you.

  Thanks for that clarification, man you guys on here never stop amazing me 
with your knowledge on this stuff. I have a question about the H series. I 
read somewhere that the Phase One is the better body of the the series. I 
could see in a few years getting a Hasselblad digital, so want is your take 
on that.

  Hi James,

  I think he's talking about 4/3 sensor used by panasonic and olympus.  As 
for your P30 back, it has a crop factor of 1.3 so the viewing angle of a 
40mm lens is actually 52mm.  Also PhaseOne does not recommend lenses wider 
than 40mm (before Factoring) as they cause color fringing on the edges of 
the sensor.  With that in mind an SWC or a 30mm is out of the question. 
40mm(52mm) 50mm(65mm) 60mm(78mm) 80mm(104mm) 100mm(130mm) 120mm(156mm) 
150mm(195mm) 180mm(234mm).  Taking the crop factor into consideration I'd 
start with a 50, 80 and a 120 then add a 40 and a 180.  Once you get used to 
the quality of a digital back you'll never go back to 35mm gear for anything 
serious. I got hooked on my old kodak back (16Mp) traded up to a P25 and 
really got addicted, Now I've got a H3d39 and prefer it to my Nikon D3. 
Your going to see a big difference even in an 8x10 print.

  Franc

    The XPan (double width 35mm panoramic) have only 3 lens, so the choice 
is made for you. I use them in the following frequency:

    45mm - 60% (similar to ~24mm in 35mm FOV but crop to 24x65 ratio)
    30mm - 20% (similar to ~18mm but crop to ...)
    90mm - 20% (similar to ~45mm ...)

    On the Leica, I use 35mm probably 70% of the time, 50mm 20%, and 75/85 
for 10% but really mainly for portrait there.

    On the 4/3, I use it mainly for events, so the needs are drastically 
different.

    I will guess that I will use a 35mm equivalent lens the most, which for 
the P30, according to the Capture free's XLS worksheet, would be a 45mm 
lens. Hence my original thinking of returning the 60mm and get a 50mm 
Distagon instead (found the worksheet after I bought the lens :-) )

        My main gear has been XPan for fine arts, 4/3 for events and Leica 
for everything
        else. The P30 is going to be my landscape camera as I want more 
dynamic
        range in the B&W photos. Chances are I will settle on a 3-lens kits, 
as I have with
        the other cameras. The trick is "which 3 lens?"



      What focal lengths would you pick for the other cameras?
