Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm trying out my Hasselblad 250mm Summilux and what I see is when I push the back button I do not get any indication if the lens is in focus. But when I half press the shutter release I see the arrows light up and I get a conformation green circle when in focus......... Why don't I get it when using the back button??

Advertisement Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here BBF using none Leica S lenses on 007. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
John McMaster Posted September 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2016 Another mythical lens, just doubly as Summilux is probably a Leica registered name.... Sounds like it is working as designed. john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jip Posted September 12, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2016 I'm trying out my Hasselblad 250mm Summilux and what I see is when I push the back button I do not get any indication if the lens is in focus. But when I half press the shutter release I see the arrows light up and I get a conformation green circle when in focus......... Why don't I get it when using the back button?? Because the back button activates autofocus and confirms the focus, if the lens has no autofocus it cannot start autofocus and won't show you focus confirmation This is #8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 12, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks for the conformation. I thought that's what it was but wasn't 100% sure. I'm going to Ragistan next month for 5 days and in two minds on what to take Hasselblad 503 or Leica S. I have all my lenses back with the new AF motors so that gives me confidence to take the S but I reall think Ragistan needs to be shot in film........ I have a month to think about it Taking both is not an option as it's just to much sh1t to carry around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 12, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 12, 2016 Given the temperature (according to climate tables up to 35 even in October) it is doubtful whether a medium format system is a good idea for a travel camera at all. OTOH, you can always rent a camel, provided you take care to keep your head away from it : http://www.india.com/whatever/angry-rajasthan-camel-eats-owners-head-after-he-tied-it-in-the-sun-all-day-long-1207668/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted September 12, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 12, 2016 If you are pushing a button on the back of the Hasselblad to get the camera to autofocus, then it must have electricity, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 12, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 12, 2016 If you are pushing a button on the back of the Hasselblad to get the camera to autofocus, then it must have electricity, surely?your taking the pis$ again Andy.
