I have a H4D-50 and am wondering if my V lens will be sharp with this sensor. I have a 50mm CFi, 100m CF and a 250mm CF SA and all three were top performers when I was shooting film. If they will work I, can buy a Hasselblad H System CF Lens Adapter a lot cheaper than buying replacement HC lenses.
What do you think?

Hi Mr.Gale,
not sure for the H4D-50, i had one for my H3DII-31 and the CFE40IF as well as
CFi50 worked quite well.
Having said that, using the CF Adapter kills every usability aspect of the H system
and thats why i sold mine soon after i bought it. You're dealing with multiple lens hoods, need a sync cable, no AF, etc. etc. The list goes on, you need three hands to handle this beast, not really great when out in the field.
I would really suggest to rent one and check if it fits your workflow and if
you're willing to compromise when it comes to handling the system.
The H lenses are good, the 50mm II is stellar as is the 100 and 120 II Macro. I
will never look back again.
Just my 2 cents,
Ralf
