How do you cock the shutter on a CF lens with that thing? The CF-HC adapter for H2 bodies has a huge big lever on the side to take care of this, but the image on the site you linked just shows a cylindrical converting ring...

This adapter is designed for focal plane shutter cameras.

On the Mamiya 645 bodies (Pro/TL/AFD/AFD II) you will not be using the leaf shutter in the Hasselblad C-Series lens, as you will use the focal plane shutter built into into the camera. With shutter cocked, the lens will stay open indefinitely.

Regards,

Jordan

Hi
Well Mamiya just released their own version today for the V series adapter to the 645 AF. One is silver & the other black. There must be some good V series glass still out there.

Here's silver, $500. I guess the lenses for the FE series just turn into MF manual Mamiya lenses with this.
