HI - I thought nearly all but the very oldest Mamiya 645 AF and MF lenses mounted onto Phase bodies, but I read somewhere that they used to with the DF/DF+ but no longer do with the XF - is that so, and if that's the case, is there an adapter/adaptation to make them work?
The Apo-telephoto ones in particular were amazing and I'd love to be able to add them to my lens range. Apo 200/2.8 A, Apo 300mm f4.5, 500mm, etc.
Thanks

As a result of the research that DT did for Big Buttery Bokeh (https://digitaltransitions.com/fast-portrait-lens-phase-one/) and the solution that DT developed Phase One posted this KB Article (https://www.phaseone.com/en/Search/Article.aspx?articleid=1011&languageid=1) on modifying Mamiya 645 lenses on the XF. If you're handy you can do the mod yourself. If not a machine shop or photo repair shop can do it. Contact your local Phase One dealer for recommendations in your area.

I have to congratulate Phase One for posting the smallest, lamest images in that KB article. They could definitely do a MUCH better set of detailed images of the precise area on the flange that needs to trimmed away in order to mount on the XF. ::)
