Title: Is there any way to use Rollei-lenses on a Hasselblad H or V?
Post by: henrikfoto on May 30, 2011, 03:34:02 pm

I would like to know if it's possible to adapt a Rollei Apo-Symmar 90mm to Hasselblad H, V or Contax 645?

If you have a digital back set up for V, then you could fit it to the X-Act2 and shoot with Rollei lenses fit to that.  I don't know of any other way to fit them to other bodies besides the 6000 series and the Hy6.
Why would you want to?

Just because I know this lens is great and it would be nice to use it without investing in another camera.

Hass V lenses are almost equally great except not as fast

A used 6008i really shouldn't be very expensive. If you want to shoot film, this is an option.

The only other adapter path is via Alpa, which has a Rollei mount available. Needs a shutter control module tho. Probably not saving you any money yet....

Schneider PC-S (tilt-shit) lenses for Rollei have been adapted to Hasselblad V.  This is a permanent modification of the lens, and I've seen several for sale on eBay over the years.  No idea how to get aperture control, but, as I say, they do exist.  Presumably this could be done with the 90mm too, but it wouldn't work on the Rollei any more.
