I remember not so long ago, someone shared their adapting a small L.F. taking lens to a Hasselblad 'V' camera.

Has the OP posted more of his/her work or, has anyone here followed through and made their own adapters to do this with, and gotten unique images their Zeiss Hb. lenses might have found impossible to make?

Please share.
 
I once adapted a Petvzal to my Hasselblad using one of the lens adapters that Hasselblad once made. The lens has its own focusing gear, so just needed something to mate it to the body. The 6x6 format basically only covered the lenses sharp center area with no swirly bokeh, so didn’t really accomplish much towards unique images, so I undid it all.
I relied on the blinds in the camera to serve as a shutter, which works, but doesn’t work very well if you need short exposure times.

You wil need a double cable release for this to trip the camera and lens at the same time.
 
My guess:

V-mount to m65 -- m65 helicoid -- m65 to shutter. These adapters can be found online.

Set lens on focus mode or B, compose and focus. Close shutter and set exposure, mirror up or T or locked cable release on body, trip shutter.
 
Anyone know if Hasselblad(the type that would fit a 500cm) lens groups can be reshuttered into say a copal 1?

I once thought of buying a 203 Hasselblad so I could use the focal plane shutter to do this.
