Title: Isn't Hasslblad TS adaptr just a modified Arcbody?
Post by: uaiomex on July 05, 2008, 09:24:06 pm

The first time I saw this pic, I thought I was just looking at a clever use (from one handy and clever photographer) for an outmoded device.
Now it seems it is from Hasselblad, or so MR thinks or knows.

So, I just fooled myself, but on the contrary I'm happy to see that Hasselblad can still think with the head. Good tool recycling. Well, maybe there's hope for th V system after all.

This makes the Hasselblad H system incredibly desirable and complete for me, but since it's still out of my price range, I guess the whole argument is moot!

One question - has anybody tried the a Hasselblad CF lens + Hasselblad PC-Mutar on the CF lens adapter on a Mamiya 645 AFD?  Or is that really simply too perverse to even consider???

I have this lens for my Contax and use it some, though not often.  Used right it's great and dead sharp, nice falloff, except you have to manually stop down, though up to around 3.5 it's still easy to focus.

Except, mine is new and stiff as a board.  The focus has a lot of travel which makes it easy to fine tune, but not easy to focus fast.
