Hasselblad HCD 24mm f/4.8

I cannot justify a Leica 24mm. I know that it’s perfect, I had it for a while and sold it after the AF failure. 
I have a Hasselblad-Leica S adapter and I am curious how well the Hasselblad HCD 24mm f/4.8 works on the S cameras. I know that Hasselblad use it’s own digital corrections in Focus, but I have no experience with the lens and wonder whether the lens shows an image degradation if used in Lightroom or PS without corrections. If anybody used the HCD24mm.,please share your opinion. 
 

thanks,

Yevgeny

Yevgeny, if memory serves, I think Marc (fotografz) wrote about exactly this combination some years ago on getDPI. You could do a search, Marc is a very knowledgeable guy, as I’m sure you know.

Hi Yevgeny,

Neither can I. I also can't justify a Hasselblad HCD 24mm. Instead, I got myself a converted Samyang TS 24mm lens (no longer shiftable) in Mamiya mount and used it with the M645 adapter. Works REALLY well (albeit that it's a manual focus lens). Take a look at this Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1xri32njl14ipw/Samyang 24mm non-TS Nikon version.tif?dl=0 

At around £700 from this guy in Poland it's 1/10th the price of the Leica S 24mm!

Thank you, Peter. 
I do remember that Marc used his Hasselblad lenses on the S for a while. I will search for the info there on GetDPI.

Thank you, Mark. It’s an interesting option, I’ve never thought of that. 
And thank you very much for the link above.
