Adapting Hasselblad V lenses to an M11M

I decided to acquire a Kipon V to M adapter. Since the M is a manual focus camera and I have many old Hasselblad V  and FE manual focus Medium Format lenses, I thought I'd give the adapter a try.

To my surprise the FE 150/2.8 with adapter does not feel heavy on the M11.

I used it just like any M lens-focused without focus peaking which gets in my way all too often, then zoomed in to get more precise focusing, took the shot.

No big deal and holding the lens is about like holding a  large M lens like a Noctilux.

Forgot to mention shot  at f2.8 1/1000 since it is a long lens on the M11.

i can imagine an even lighter setup with the EV1.

for ibis the SL camera is the best bet right now.
