Hasselblad to PL mount?

[Arthur Levy]

Has anyone tried this Hasselblad to PL adapter? I tried a prototype earlier this year and there was some movement of the lens. I have sent the company an email and received no response. If they fixed the problem, this could be a good adapter.

Looks like a brass PL mount...

that would be nice; I have some hasselblad glass lying around; how would an 80 mm medium format lens turn out on a 35 mm sensor, for instance?

Same as an 80mm for 35mm format- just usually a stop for two slower.

are you sure? when I put a 35mm leica lens on my canon xl1--I don't know how small that sensor was--I had to multiply the 35 with 7.2, giving me a telelens; I was very happy with my 200 mm lens; I could spy on everything undetected:001_cool:

No, you have a 35mm lens on an xl1, not a 200mm lens.

A 35mm lens is always a 35mm lens regardless of what you fix it to.

okay okay okay, what I mean ofcourse is: how will it function; the effect of a 35 mm leica lens made for 35mm photo camera on my canon xl1 was that of a, what is it...something like 250mm. so how will an 80mm lens designed for medium format function on a red one?

[D Fuller]

Like any 80mm lens. It makes no difference what format the lens was designed for, it will always be an 80mm lens. The R1 is an S35mm-sized sensor, so on a Red, lenses have the field of view of an S35 film camera. If you are unfamiliar with that, it's roughly the same as a Nikon DX-series camera (D200, D300, etc.)

I guess I'm mixing things up terribly; I think I'll just try it out

you guys are right; my leica 90 mm gives almost the same image as the hasselblad 80mm; I feel like a bloody amateur. I wonder why it was so different with the canon xl1, with a 35mm lens looking like a 250mm, and my 200 like...1500mm?

The canon has a tiny sensor so a 35mm is a long lens.

[hans de vries]

but isn't red's sensor tiny compared to hasselblad's 6x6 cm's?

Yes. So 80mm is the "normal" lens on a Hasselblad, and a short telephoto on s35. Does that help?

[hans de vries]

okay, i get it
