Advertisement Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Hi rollsman4, Take a look here Leica S-H adaptor on Leica S007. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mgrayson3 Posted March 23, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I used it, and it worked well. The HC 300/4.5 was fully functional. It doesn't like teleconverters and it doesn't like orange dot lenses. I don't remember precisely what "doesn't like" means. But with magnified focus peaking, getting sharp images with the 300/4.5 was easy - easier than on the Hasselblad X2D! Hand held. Down-sampled, so not as crisp as in real life. Welcome, dear visitor!

I sold that lens and got the Zeiss 350/5.6 SA instead. I'm not sorry that I got the 350, but I regret selling the HC 300. At the time, the lack of TC compatibility bothered me. But it's a very sharp and easy to use lens in a range where nothing like it exists for the S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollsman4 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted March 23, 2023 Hi Matt, according to the Leica adaptor S-H there are only several lenses they listed that worked with that adaptor. From HC35/3.5-HC 150/3.2 are compatible with the Leica S-H adaptor. Maybe what I read was Incorrect??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynp Posted March 23, 2023 Share #6 Posted March 23, 2023 HCD24mm will not work with the adapter per my experience. Both HC and HCD zooms are supported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted March 23, 2023 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) What will the S(007) offer over the H5D that you owned for a week or so? That would have run Hasselblad lenses natively..... john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McMaster Posted March 24, 2023 Share #10 Posted March 24, 2023 Is this the 2nd or 3rd time you have tried the S? Me, I have been happy with mine for over a decade and not needed to look elsewhere... john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I have been happy with mine for over a decade and not needed to look elsewhere... john It is interesting to explore. I love the S, yes. But the S has rekindled some other photography for me and I’ve also been playing with a hasselblad 500cxi and some CF lenses. The 120 format is a lot of fun. It’s also given me a draw back to the R system and I’ve enjoyed the R8 and R9 with some older R glass. The creative part sometimes calls us to try different tools. But I understand - their are larger sensors, but there is nothing that draws like the S glass on an S body… 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollsman4 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share #12 Posted March 25, 2023 Hi John, I did not give the one I had a chance. So, I decided to try it again and for a longer period of time. I also wanted to try the HC lenses this time. I only had the 70 last time and I really wanted to try the 120 but due to Budget I passed on it. This time I did my homework and there have been good Reviews on using the HC lenses on the S007 I will know in a few days when I get the camera and the 2 HC lenses.

John McMaster Posted March 25, 2023 Share #13 Posted March 25, 2023 I used Hassleblad film cameras for decades, still have an R9/DMR and quite a few R lenses 😉 Some of the R lenses work on my S(007)..... john 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveash Posted March 27, 2023 Share #14 Posted March 27, 2023 I have a selection of H mount lenses that I adapt to both an S007 and X1D. They work well on both. While most of my lenses are the latest version my HCD 28mm has the old firmware and so has no autofocus on the he X1D however it works fine me on the Leica! I haven’t had any problems with the orange dot lenses on the S007 or SE006 but they are limited to 1/1000th as a fastest shutter as the H6 and X1D combine leaf with e shutter to achieve 1/2000th. I have also started using the Hasselblad HTS 1.5 tilt shift adapter with both these cameras and again it works very well all round. My only negative about the adapter is it is surprisingly heavy for such a small thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollsman4 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share #15 Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Hi Steve, Thank you for sharing this. Question: The card is formatted. This is one of the Newest CF cards. Lexar 32GB UDMA 7 1066x speed The CF card that works is an older one. Sandisk Extreme 64GB 160 speed Is it possible that the Latest CF card will NOT work in the S007? Thank you. Also, does the S007 have a tendency to underexpose? The Histogram shows good but when I import them into LR Classic they are about 11/2 stops under exposed. Thanks Using the HC lenses. The HC 150 and the HC 35 PS How are the R lenses on the S007? I would be interested due to them being Lighter than the HC and Maybe Less expensive. I do LIKE to Have AF too Edited March 29, 2023 by rollsman4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted March 29, 2023 Share #16 Posted March 29, 2023 R lenses do not AF, only some of the longer lenses focus to infinity, but plenty (probably +50mm) work at close distance. The 70-180/2.8 gives very different results to the S lenses! john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveash Posted March 30, 2023 Share #17 Posted March 30, 2023 I have used Sandisk Extreme Pro UDMA 7 cards (65, 128 and 256gb) without a problem. I’ve never tried Lexar I’m afraid. Ive found the S007 light meter to be pretty accurate but you might want to adjust the metering mode to suit the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted March 30, 2023 Share #18 Posted March 30, 2023 On my S2-P I found the averaged exposure unpredictable, swapped to 'spot' metering and never had a problem since. john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Histogram shows good but when I import them into LR Classic they are about 11/2 stops under exposed. Thanks Using the HC lenses. The HC 150 and the HC 35 I encountered this issue once with my S-006, and it was in a room with dimmed LEDs. I didn't notice a flicker, but maybe it fooled the meter. Here are some other possible issues: Are you looking through the viewfinder? If not, light coming-in through the viewfinder could affect the meter. This is an issue with almost any SLR. The camera originally came with a viewfinder cover for this type of situation. You are using adapted lenses, so it's possible that the lens is stopping-down too much, or that there is some other miscommunication between the lens and camera. Check if the exposure issue still happens wide-open. Be sure to also check that the lens doesn't stop-down when shot wide-open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested due to them being Lighter than the HC and Maybe Less expensive. I do LIKE to Have AF too I have used the "gold" lexar CF and SD cards in my S007 and S3 with no problems. I do use SD Card Formatter first and then format them in the camera (first time). After that I use SD formatter all the time. In terms of underexposure, I'd check a few things. First, if you are metering for the middle in the viewfinder, be sure you know if you have set the EV to something other than zero. I tend to keep mine at -2/3 of stop or so. Also, be sure you know if you setup a saved profile for the camera in Lightroom that may have changed the exposure. With a reset camera, the middle exposure is pretty well done, I just tend to blow the highlights easier (again S007 and S3, I used the S2P for about 6 months getting into the S system, but that was a long time ago). Just my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
