3ed Posted July 31, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 31, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can S lenses be adapted to use on other systems (even without AF, etc)? Any system? I'm guessing the answer is currently 'no' since nothing relevant came up when I searched for an answer, but thought I'd ask just in case. Thanks in advance.

The aperture (and central shutter on the CS lenses) is electronic isnt it ? That would make it much harder to adapt, unless you want to shoot wide open all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilliamsphotography Posted August 5, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 5, 2014 It is possible, but not probable. It would require an adapter with reversed engineered data bus contacts like Leica did with the Hasselblad H lenses and Contax 645 lenses which also feature electronically controlled apertures and AF. - Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Black Posted August 11, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 11, 2014 Also, what camera body could the S lenses be used on? Not Mamiya 645, Contax 645, Pentax 645 or Hasselblad 645 or V. The S' registration distance is too short - no room for an adapter. That leaves 35mm dSLRs and such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither at the friendly china dealer nor at other manufactures (Zörk, Novoflex). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
