[HUG ] Re: frankenstein camera

You must have been watching the Frankenstein Castle episode of Ghost Hunters International last night!
Sounds like you are trying to replicate putting a digital back on an SWC.

When I get an idea stuck in my head... it just won't quit.

New thought (which hit me like a diamond bullet this AM).

Buy a broken 500CM body (~30-40 bucks).
Buy a wide angle large format lens
Figure out the proper sensor to lens distance.
CUT hasselblad body to proper length - removing guts, mirror etc.
Attach large format lens to front (method to be determined)
Figure out focusing mechanism..
Possible use bellows system in 2d version..

I already found a dead 500cm I can dismantle.
Essentially I am making an Alpa TC.

I want ultrawide, 35mm or less for coverage of the CFV's 4x4 sensor.
Oh mighty HUG, what lens woulf do the trick at maximum bang for the buck?
