Both lenses are NOT easily handhold-able. they are both large and heavy and cumbersome!

The Hassey compared to say a 70/200mm Nikon 2.8 ..................Kind of that size??

Why not just look it up?

Fantastic looks kind of 70/200mm size

Next question....how is the AF compared to native S lenses (ones that are not broken )??

I'd say AF is about the same. Pretty much no difference in use between HC lenses with adapter and native Leica CS lenses. There are even profiles in LR for the HC lenses on a Leica S.

Theres one on eBay going for $3500 new but the Dutch bloke is being a pr!ck about not being able to ship it via FedEx and can only use UPS which is 100% not user friendly. B&H have them for 4500 plus 1600 for the adapter so looking at 6k ++

I was adamant about just taking my 250mm lens and shoot that manually but AF is just so much more user friendly especially while on safari.............

Let me bust this Dutch guys ball some more and see if I can get him to change his mind

FAST! and the Aperture stopdown speed is FASTER just like the CONTAX lenses... basically the Leica lenses are slow...

Hi Neil

 

Don't know if you are still looking, but there is a store here in Sweden in my home town (Lund) that has the HC 300 for sale:

 

https://www.blocket.se/lund/Hasselblad_HC_300mm_f_4_5_70697685.htm?ca=23&w=3

 

Price translates to about 1800$

 

The store is named Mattsons Foto and is reputable Leica dealer (the have a Leica Boutique)

 

Used Hassy is quite cheap in Sweden. If you are interested you can send me a PM and I get help you get in contact with them (I have bought a lot of stuff from them).

I just bought an HC300 Hasselblad lens and the autofocus works perfectly with my 007. Note that I had to go thru several adapters first. My first Leica adapter was faulty but new one works perfectly

Very fast focus and beautiful images

shit shit shit....... I just saw this.

I'm back on the rig in Nigeria and heading straight to Tanzania after my hitch so no way to get the lens to me before the Safari.

Thanks for looking out for me. After the Safari and seeing how the 250mm works in Manuel I will make my mind up if I want/need auto focus
