dfarkas Posted February 18, 2011 Share #41 Posted February 18, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) While talking about keeping my setup small and simple it kind of happend that I won an auction for a 110mm/2.0 Hassy without expecting it.Well, now I wonder when I receive my 120 Summarit and the 110 how different they draw-then I need to see if I keep the 110 or not. I just liked thislens so much with my Rollei System. I now need to also get an adapter, want to find out if Novoflex also makes it and how that compare to the Korean version. Tom, Novoflex doesn't make any adapters for the S2 at this point. We sell the adapters for $600 and test each one to ensure a good, smooth fit and verify that infinity focus is spot on. In the coming months, Leica will be making official adapters but haven't announced any pricing yet. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philinflash Posted October 30, 2011 Share #42 Posted October 30, 2011 I have not seen any discussion of the following; please forgive me if my search did not uncover. But with the S2 and the adapter for Hasselblad V-Series lenses, it seems to me that managing the aperture is something of a problem. It is pretty clear that the adapter ring does no more than provide a male/female interface between the bayonette rings of the camera and the lens which otherwise would not mate. There is no other mechanical or electrical function. So, this means that there is no control of the aperture from the camera to the lens. Therefore, the user has a choice of using the lens wide open or using the tab on the side of the lens to stop down the aperture. On the CF lenses that I have, the tab will either stop down the aperture if you just press and hold the tab or you can lock the tab so that the aperture is always stopped down to the setting of the aperture ring on the barrel of the lens. Neither is satisfactory. I don't want to be shooting wide open all the time, nor do I want to be fiddling with the aperture tab when I am taking a shot. Nor do I want it stopped down to my shooting aperture when I am metering or composing through the lens. Am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilliamsphotography Posted October 30, 2011 Share #43 Posted October 30, 2011 That is how all dumb adapters work for any focal plane camera. You can use Hassy V lenses on a Contax 645, Mamiya 645 & Phase One DF, and a Leica S2 ...or most any 35mm DSLR. The only fully automatic stop-down metering and shooting non-V camera that you can use a CF, CFi or CFE V Zeiss lens on is the Hasselblad H camera via the CF adapter. All the rest require manual stop-down metering and shooting. Most people (not all) use the 200 series F/FE lenses with dumb adapters ... and many go for the 110/2FE and shoot it wide open or below f/5.6 for the unique character of that lens. -Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarkas Posted October 30, 2011 Share #44 Posted October 30, 2011 The viewfinder of the S2 is so bright that when shooting with a non-S lens, often I won't disengage the stop down lever. You can easily focus as far down as f/8. And, to add to what Marc said, usually you are shooting a lens like the 110 f/2 between f/2 and f/4 or maybe f/5.6 in order to achieve a certain look.

Philinflash Posted October 30, 2011 Share #45 Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks, Mark, for your perspective on this issue of "dumb adapters." I am not sure I need one, as much as I would like to put my 110/f2 to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidigital Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share #46 Posted March 9, 2012 I've been shooting with the S2 & Zeiss 110/2 combination again quite a bit lately. Here's a link to an updated gallery on my website: Leica S2 and Zeiss 110/2 | Kurt Kamka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterv Posted March 9, 2012 Share #47 Posted March 9, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kurt, thanks for sharing. I really like your documentary/reportage style. It's interesting to see this subject matter (travel/people/human interest) being done with an S2. BTW, I saw your work also on getdpi and on reddot. It's good to see your personal style of shooting carried over to the Philippines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Fu Posted March 11, 2012 Share #48 Posted March 11, 2012 HI,Kurt: I looked through your website,very nice pictures! would you pls tell me which Hasselblad Carl Zeiss f2 you used:Hasselblad Carl Zeiss Planar 110mm f2 F or FE and T? Tks a lot! Rgds Frank:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidigital Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share #49 Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Frank, It's the T* version. You can use either the F or the FE version of the Hasselblad 110/2 lens on the S2 via adapter. The FE version has contacts for use with a Hasselblad camera but the contacts have no bearing on function on the S2. Kurt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
