exactly.No, the 35 mm will stay 35 mm. It will be less wide than on the C645 because that camera uses the entire image circle of this lens. On the S the 35 mm will be a 28 mm eq. (In 135, so called FF terms)
FYI, Hasselblad's widest lens is a HCD 24mm.Now given these adapters are not exactly cheap, a person maybe only able to get one system. Hassy has a 28mm , Contax widest is the 35. Might be a little hard to decide this going in without any lenses in hand already in your stash.

They ain't sellin lenses if everyone starts buying old Contax, Hasslblad, or Pentax optics. The price is what it is. Leica feels that that is what it should be to be profitable--I have no data to doubt them. Although the adapter releases seems to indicate that the S line sales are weak and folks have not been happy about the lens line for one reason or another.I never understood why they priced the S2 so highly. Ok, its Leica, they dont sell for cheap. But I think at a price point of say 12.9k USD for the body they would sell a lot more lenses - isnt this were the money lies?
