Title: MF Lens on DSLR?

Here is a link to the guys who have the adapters (Zoerk), although overnight their web site has changed - it looks like they will be putting up a bunch of stuff instead of just their sales info:

I wouldn't have a problem exchanging my Hasselblad equipment for a 1Ds2... except that I have some of the best Zeiss and Rodenstock lenses made, and I hate to give them up. Has anyone here adapted MF lenes to DSLR?

I have no idea if this would work at all with a digital SLR, but I know a photographer who adapted his Hasselblad lenses to a 4x5 camera.  He simply cut a hole in a Hasselblad rear lens cap, epoxied it to a lens board and fired away.

Maybe a similar setup would work with an SLR.  There would be no autofocus, no auto exposure, so it probably won't work for all LL readers.  Or may not work at all.

Hassy lenses are expensive. You just may be able to sell the secondhand ones at a price that will buy a brand new Canon one of the same focal length, complete with autofocus and with substantial spare change. On the other hand, for people awaiting an affordable digital back for their Hassy lenses, I believe that Novoflex makes adapters to EOS (EF) mount.
