I'm finding that there is a bit of a gap between my 35mm and 47mm Schneider lenses for some subjects and notice that some photographers use the Hassleblad 40mm Distagon with the Hassleblad Flexbody.
The 40mm Distagon has enough of an image circle to provide some useful shift on a 645 sized chip.
It is a leaf shutter lens.
I suddenly had the idea that it should be possible to create a mount for the Cambo Wide that has a Hassleblad adapter (as one can easily purchase on Ebay) that would allow this lens to be mounted. (Or any other Hassleblad leaf shutter lens... should there be such a thing).
In fact, a more flexible approach might to be to make this adapter take a Mamiya lens fit, then simply to use a Mamiya to XXX adapter to mount whatever leaf shutter lens was available.
There are a limited number of lenses that one could fit, or might want to fit this way, but for me it would probably worthwhile just for the Hassleblad 40mm alone.
Would anyone else find this useful, or am I missing a simpler solution to getting a 40mm lens for my work. Schneider and Rodenstock don't seem to make one.
