“Hasselnuts” Kickstarter project gives your analog Hasseblad camera an iPhone digital back

 
 

Buying an analog Hasseblad isn't too expensive: you can get a really good Hassy medium-format film camera for less than a grand. But going digital? That's going to cost you a small fortune, with Hasselblad digital backs running into the thousands (if not tens of). But a clever-sounding Kickstarter project would make an...

Here are the impressive winners of the 2013 iPhone Photography Awards
