H2 + HTS + Phase One back

[lukecartledge]

We are looking to use the an HTS 1.5 on our H2 body for some still-life work.
What do we need to take into account to do this? Are there any specific requirements for the firmware on the H2 etc?
I understand that the HTS is not designed to communicate fully with the H2 but I believe it can be used.

Some advice on this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Luke
I don't think you need the latest firmware to use the HTS on an H2 (though it's always a good idea to have the latest). You can update the firmware yourself if you have an Imacon/Hasselblad back that will go on the H2. Firmware aside the HTS will work fine (with a 1.5X lens conversion) but without the DAC corrections. The distortion correction on the HTS is quite amazing and is a compelling reason to use the HTS on an H3D.
Hope that helps.
