Title: Hasselblad H lenses on Leica S007
Post by: Neil Williams on November 16, 2016, 12:40:07 pm

Anyone on here using a Hasselblad H lens on a Leica S007. I want to get a Hassy 300mm to take with me on Safari over the 250mm that I already have.......the reason for the 300mm is the ability to shoot in AF
Comments much appreciated

The only adapter I can find for it is $1700. Wow. I'm not sure that idea is worth it, at least in my opinion.

It works fine. Also try the Contax 350mm f4 with the Leica adapter C. it's autofocus too.

Looking for specific input beyond that already received in response to your similar query on another forum (which I recently left)?

I am using a HC 210mm on my 006 and it works great. No reason the HC 300mm would be an issue on the 007.

If you need this only once in a lifetime (safari), another option to consider is the HC 210mm with the 1.7x (giving you a 360mm). The 210mm you could use every day as a great portrait lens.
