Kodak sensors I haven't any experience with but they never built them in any 
case, they were subbed out to external companies, Kodak don't design VLSI chips 
the best they could do is spec is and hope that's what was delivered.

I don't know which back you as speaking of but I have here a brochure for the 
Leaf Aptus 22 and the Sinarback eMotion22 (which definitely fits the Hasselblad 
V-series). Both these backs utilize the DALSA 22MP sensors and they quote some 
pretty amazing specs, the most interesting being that they provide a 12 stop 
dynamic range (latitude) over an ISO range of 25 to 200. I can't explain why 
the sample you saw looked so bad, what aspect of the image quality most 
displeased you?
