Hasselblad B60 Adapter issue

[mitchellhodge]

Hi all,

First time posting, so hopefully I make sense.

I wanted to use my existing 67mm filters on my CF T* Hassellblad 80 and 150mm lenses, so I purchased a B60-67mm adapter off eBay (cheap, Chinese). When I got it and tried it on, it seemed loose and didn't seem to want to stay on, didn't lock into the bayonet and continued to spin - which I deduced to its poor quality manufacture and bowing. So I bought a Fotodiox adapter off B&H, and received it today. When I went to try it on, it still didn't fit. This time, however, it wouldn't lock in at all. It would fit into the bayonet fine, but when I turned it to lock it into place (as with hasselblad lense caps) it would just hit the small stopper pin in the lens bayonet and not go any further; free to move back and fourth.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, in terms of the way I'm attaching it? Seems odd that two different adapters would not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not too game to go ahead and buy another adapter just yet.

Cheers, Mitch.

Hasselblad filters do not lock or click onto the lens, they are friction mounted into the bayonet (unlike the lens hoods).

This thread may help explain things: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Take a firm tool/object (flat blade screw driver or hard piece of wood) and carefully press in the bayonet tabs so they friction fit into the lens.

Same here with my Heliopan B60/67 adapter. It´s pretty normal...

Yes, what he said.
