Advertisement Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here New SL to Hasselblad V lens adapter just arrived. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted April 23, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2017 The adapter is very well made. The connections both ends are very tight with zero slack. It's now dark outside so I will take it out with me tomorrow and see if it was worthy of its $500 price tag[emoji30][emoji30][emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee1972 Posted April 23, 2017 Share #7 Posted April 23, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well the camera felt very unweildly; it was just so big and heavy that I never imagined myself ever using them. There were some odd colour shifts and the lenses were flaring really easily. When they worked OK they worked OK but it was nothing like as good as my Summilux 50mm M. They were a bit, well, meh. I think the real problem was just how ridiculously large and heavy it made the camera (rather like the SL lenses I guess). I just knew I would never use it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the ergonomics of the SL with my 250 Hassablad Super Combat lens IMOO is fine, its heavy but not as heavy as when I use my S lenses on the SL. Some of my favourite head jobs have been taken with the Hassy 250mm. I will be trying the lens out later today and will post up the results........pictures to follow Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photon42 Posted April 24, 2017 Share #11 Posted April 24, 2017 Taking pictures............what else would it be for Kind of like wearing two jackets when its cold Good you helped me out , but I cannot elicit much more additional information from this statement. Anything else where you feel it gives you something you do not have with more compact lenses? Just curious, as I typically do not wear two jackets. I do have a 500 c/m, and while I like it, I enjoy it most by using it with the waist level finder, as I feel the weight is is then still acceptably balanced.

geetee1972 Posted April 24, 2017 Share #12 Posted April 24, 2017 V lenses on a Leica SL - really? What is the use case for this? I understand fun and curiosity, but else? There isn't a case other than curiosity and fun. It's a 'because you can' exercise. The V lenses add nothing other than weight. I love shooting my 501c/m as well but the lenses work far better on that than they do the SL. If a huge lens has both AF and reach I can see it being useful for sports or wildlife photography. If you want to shoot people with any kind of truth or meaning outside of a fashion shoot, it's about the last thing you want. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted April 24, 2017 Share #13 Posted April 24, 2017 Well the Zeiss 110mm f2 for Hasselblad is wonderful on the SL (I used a collection of adapters to mount it) It's great fun playing with old lenses, I'm having a Contax zeiss moment presently and enjoying the Contax 50mm f1.4 & 28mm f2.8 nice colours and contrasty.

mmradman Posted April 25, 2017 Share #16 Posted April 25, 2017 I use two leica adapters in cascade ............................. I assume that is Hassy 110mm f2 lens. It does look impressive but it is not only show in town. I assume similar effect can be achieved with Zeiss Makro Planar 100mm f2 in Nikon F mount utilising either single "ZF-SL" adaptor or two adaptors "ZF-M" & "M-SL", I am using the latter adaptor "cascade". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they have different effect ........ 110mm with silky soft rendering, while MP100 is more contrasty; I am using these two lenses according to situation I am using Carl Zeiss ZE lenses together with a Novoflex SL/EOS adapter Welcome, dear visitor!
