Can other brand of lenses be adapted for use with the H body?
-
Hasselblad has an adapter for V-series lenses.
Best regards

With a rather expensive adapter, you can, as Erik says, use Hasselblad V-series lenses - but only the leaf-shuttered ones (not the F/FE series for the 200 and 2000 series cameras).
Nothing else.
It's one of the downsides of a camera without a focal plane shutter.

You can put the back on a view camera and use a lot of lenses. If you want the body itself then as above.

If you have previously bought a number of V lenses, which have never been "cheap", and a H body, the adapter doesn't really look expensive.
Looking at buying a H body, adapter, and V lenses I agree the total is possibly "rather expensive" but looking at the list or even S/H prices of H lenses "rather expensive" again looks to be stretching it.
Just IMHO as an owner of 6 V lenses and soon to be owner of a H1 (for film) at a price I couldn't have dreamt of ever seeing, thank you digital fans.
