Hasselmiya hybrid!

[Melvin J Bramley]

I'm considering purchasing some Hasselblad lenses and adapting them to my Mamiya 645; any thoughts?

My M645J has been a flawless camera that only needed a simple light seal replacement. I've used its native lenses as well as lenses from the Pentacon Six mount and both have worked wonderfully.

Maybe this is where you got your idea, but if you have not seen it, this is the Rollei SL66 to SL35 adapter. It accomplishes a similar task to which you seek.
It may give you ideas for construction of your adapter.

Looking forward to seeing your solution.

Why, Mamiyamakes exceptionally good lenses?

As usual I was a little late and 100 km's away from the seller.
For $500 Canadian dollars I 'could' have had a 50mm , 150mm and a 250mm lenses with a pro lens shade thrown in for good measure.
I was looking for a Mamiya 45mm which would have cost almost that price!

Just a note, C lenses don't have a manual aperture mode. You can use the DOF preview switch but if you go back to wide-open you'll have to depress it again.

But you have a Mamiya and you don’t have a Hasselblad. Seems like an easy decision to make.

Sadly the lenses sold within 2 hours..

Best wishes for you having great success with your cloned lenses.

Maybe you are not aware that most Hasselblad lenses have their own shutter which needs to be serviced. Often older lenses sold for bargain prices have to be CLA'd and recalibrated. So maybe it wasnt such a bargain at all.

Of course, get a Hasselblad, duh.

The same can be said for lenses sold for higher prices. None of them are new. If you want one, it's going to be a used one.
