Title: Anybody experience with using V lenses on Hasselblad H camera?
Post by: hasselbladfan on June 26, 2011, 12:00:09 pm

Any negatives? Is it cumbursome?

Is it true that you notice better results after Phocus lens corrections?

It's not as cumbersome as you might think, the action of cocking the lens is a bit like that of winding film if you can remember that.

The Phocus lens corrections are impressive, you should get a demo.

That is pretty easy.

Can you still use all metering functions?

its quite nice
it meters, and you have to set the f stop and shutter speed on the lens
the cocking is as easy as it gets
what is your concern in particular

Forgot to add the lenses are obviously manual focus but you do get the AF confirmation arrows in the viewfinder.
