Compatibility P45+ / P25+ with first Hasselblad 500c camera

[kristyansen]

Dear All

I am considering acquiring one of the Phase One P45(+) or P25(+) backs with Hasselblad V mount.

Could anyone please let me know with certainty if these backs are compatible with the Hasselblad 500C camera? The manual does not mention it explicitly on page 60 (maybe because you cannot change the focusing screen like explained on page 61, operation available only later, but maybe there are other mechanical or optical reasons, too, to know before making a purchase).

Also one side question - why do you think the price on the used market of these backs for the Hasselblad V mount is much higher than the price of the same backs for the Hasselblad H mount?

Thank you in advance for your input
Cristian
