Modern flashes, in particular the new Godox V1, only comes in TTL models for different camera system. I would love to use that on my Hasselblad 203FE, which has it own TTL connectors. Are the TTL signals compatible between the systems, and the only difference is the physical connectors?

I found the Nikon TTL signals: GND, X (trigger), Q (quench/stop), Rdy, SP (speedlight present), but I haven't been able to locate the signals for the Hasselblad sync port.

Of course if they operate at different voltage levels, then a voltage converter is needed.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

There was the camera brands superseeding SCA interface system that connected a variety of flashes from 6 german flash-only manufacturers to cameras from a variety of manufacturers. Sunpak too had a very small system of this kind.

But a adapter for Nikon-flash/Hasselblad is unknown to me.
However as you indicated such adapter could be wired oneself, at least if the communication still is analog and more details are known.

But with used TTL SCA flashes and SCA adapters being cheap, I would go the way of buying a SCA-system flash and resp. adapter. Hasslefree and likely more economic.
(Adapter model 390)

What @AgX has outlined is what I've done, I have a Metz 45 (i forget exactly which version) with SCA adaptors for Nikon and my 553 ELX. I've not heard of any TTL systems that are cross-compatible across manufacturers.

I have ttl adapters for Bronica and Hasselblad for Sunpak flashes. These are hard to find but Cheap! I don't think I have used in years. Fill flash for outdoor use is nice.
