Hello there,

I found too many hasselblad v system - for ex. sonnar 250 for bayonet 50 - telephoto lenses for less than 70 dollars.
I want to ask is there a less than 50 dollars or so medium format camera body which accepts these lenses ?

Thank you,

There are adapters available for Pentax 645. Probably Mamiya 645 too.

Mustafa, unfortunately you face a couple of problems:
1. If you want to use the shutter in the 250mm lens, you will need to use a Hasselblad body of some sort.
2. If you want to use the 250mm lens on another body, it will need its own shutter. Most of the adapters I saw on eBay are for using Hasselblad V lenses on 24x36mm cameras of various types. I saw a Kipon adapter for Pentax 645. However, the adapter was about $100, and you also need the Pentax.

Sadly, there is no easy or inexpensive solution.

P.S., Istanbul is a fantastic photographic (and food) destination.

The 250/5,6 Sonnar is quite a good lens, but not outstanding either. There are other lenses that are sharper and/or faster: I would not worry about buying a body if it was only to use this lens in particular, even if it is such a bargain. Instead of spending money on the lens and body, better buy some nice glass for the cameras you already own ;-)

regardless of the higher cost, I would;d still suggest a 'proper' Hasselblad 500. You already saved the money on the lenses, why go too cheap on the body?

As Ralph said.
From time to time a modified Pentax 67 appears on ebay. Expensive of course.
My personal experience: could not truly focus to infinity. But, infinity can be covered in hyper focal focussing.
S. K. Grimes https://skgrimes.com/ opinion: ... not be possible without radically adapting the Hasselblad lens. ...
I can add: or cutting few millimeters from the mirror which will take effect in viewfinder.
So, back to what Ralph said.

This combination might work. I don't know. Picture shows Hasselblad V to Pentacon Six adapter and Keiv Pentacon Six style camera for $50.

Racer, I do not think it can focus to infinity!
For any lens/camera combination, it should fulfill 2 requirements at least:
1. The lens should be brought at its correct flange focal distance from the film. Minor error toward (-)less, could be adjusted for with focussing or any mechanical interface, but any error toward (+)longer, is not.
2. Image circle of lens should cover the intended film format used.
The flange focal length of pentacon above(SLR), I think is roughly near to the flange focal length of pentax 67 lenses which is roughly 85mm.
The flange focal length of hasselblad V lenses is 75mm roughly.
Most 6X6 lenses can cover 6X7 film with minor or some vignette.
