The often hard to find used Hassy Macro Converter H.
The HMC was designed to dramatically improve the performance at Minimum Focus Distance (MFD) of the (already stellar) HC 50mm II lens. While it also improves the performance for all HC/D lenses, it was designed specifically for the 50 II.
The HCM is the marriage between a 13mm extension ring and advanced optics that act like a floating element (3 elements in 2 groups) at close focus distance. There is NO TC factor or change in field of view - unlike say a 1.4x. When using it on the 50II, the focus range is 1’-3’. It gets wider as the lens used increases in focal length.
It is fantastic for use with the Hassy HTS Tilt Shift where (allowing for the HTS 1.5x conversion factor) with the HC 50II, it gives you an exceptional and effective 75mm 3.5 Macro Tilt Shift. Using the 28mm f4, you end up with a 32mm F4 Tilt Shift Macro - on any H body, X body or GFX, etc.
Unit passes data back & forth from lens to camera for use with Phocus and also works with the Fuji Hassy adapter (we used on H5D and GFX) and the XH adapter.
This copy is near mint, optics and metal all clean and comes with caps, no box.

Please Note:
---------------------
I've been hearing anecdotal reports of 2-3 HMCs not locking onto well-used HC lenses or lenses with out-of-spec lens mounts. It is lens-specific, such as "It locks on to all my lenses & ext tubes save my Xmm", etc).
This HCM locks properly on our 28, 50II, 80, 120II and 210 (happy to supply videos accordingly), but there will be no returns should his unit not lock on any lens the buyer may own. If true, it's just too random to have the unit shipped to/fro across the planet. Obviously, a local buyer is welcome to try first.
