Hi everybody!
I would like to know if anyone has tried to use the cfv 100 with a 4x5 camera. If so, I understand that some kind of adapter would be needed? Please, more information on this matter..... Thanks

It's like all other Hasselblad CFV backs.

It needs minimum a Graflok V adapter plate,

better a sliding adapter to slode quickly from ground glass to back.

All other gear and functions are part of the CFV back, inclusive sync cable between lens and back

The real problem is focal length of 4x5 lenses that don't allow wide angle in 33x44 mm format.

It may depend on which 4x5 camera.  I use the H6D back on an arca swiss.  They are modular, so I can use 6x9 rear standard and bag bellows.  They have plates for most digital backs. 

Wide lenses can be used, but you can get color casts with movements.  However, precision isn't super high for focusing (depending on camera), so you should consider that if it might impact your use.
