glenerrolrd Posted July 1, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) After several attempts the HB 300/4 H lens is now working well with the Leica S H adapter . Now I need even more reach ! All documents from Leica show that the 1.7X extender will not support AF communication with the S H adapter . However it would seem that the extender used manual focus mode could be a lightweight low cost alternative to a 500MM lens . Looking for any experience before I pull the trigger and buy a 1.7X HB extender . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynp Posted July 1, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I had the extender and it did not work with my HC50-110 and HC150 N. The camera was unable to "see" the adapter attached. Edited July 1, 2017 by ynp Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenerrolrd Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 1, 2017 By not working I assume this means no ability to stop down the aperture . A dumb adapter would allow for manual focus ....so could you focus at f5.6 and then stop down for the capture ..or is it not possible to stop down at all .

ynp Posted July 1, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2017 By not working I assume this means no ability to stop down the aperture . A dumb adapter would allow for manual focus . . Correct. The aperture could not be controlled by the camera through the adapter and extender. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotophil Posted November 13, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2018 The lack of aperture control is the same problem that I experienced with my non-orange dot 24mm lens . The adapter could not change the aperture from wide-open nor could it access the leaf shutter but AF was supported. Great set-up if you don't mind shooting wide open all day!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) I have that 1.7 TC and used it on the H6D body with the HC300mm lens but in manual only, and trying to nail focus with it in manual mode is next to impossible.........I never did try it on my S007 but will do when I am back in KL in January and I will get back to you Neil Edited November 17, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted November 22, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) According to Leica, the 1.7 TC is not compatible with Leica S. This is unfortunate, since the HC300mm is a very fine lens. If 1.7 TC doesn't degrade the HC300mm too much, it would provide an excellent 510mm alternative for the S.

John McMaster Posted November 22, 2018 Share #8 Posted November 22, 2018 That is what the APO-Telyt Modular range (560mm f4.0 or f5.6) or Mamiya 300/2.8 APOwith 2x are for 😉 john 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotophil Posted November 22, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 22, 2018 It is true that the 1.7X does not work, with the S-H Adapter. Likewise the 24mm HC Lens does not work either but the Hasse;b;ad Swing Tilt 1.5X Unit does work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrayson3 Posted November 23, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Just because one CAN put a long lens on a camera doesn't mean it's a good idea. When Big Bertha was made, there were no alternatives. Now there are. (Disclaimer: Use whatever you like for whatever you want. I just wanted an excuse to post this picture of Geoffrey Berliner with one of his many hundred interesting cameras. This one was used at Yankees games in the early 1900's.) Welcome, dear visitor!
