• Hasselblad CF-22
• Hasselblad CF-22MS
• Hasselblad CF-39
• Hasselblad CF-39MS
• Hasselblad CFH-22
• Hasselblad CFH-39
• Hasselblad CFV

These cameras are compatible via 3FR (Hasselblad RAW on CF card or ImageBank) only - not supported tethered operation. Existing FFF files are not compatible with this plug-in version and users who wish to integrate into Lightroom workflow can choose to export as DNG from Phocus, or create a hot folder to perform this action.
