Hasselblad Carl Zeiss V lenses on Pentax 645Z: Disregard: OMIT

[rollsman44]

Can anyone let me know how these lenses work is as a portrait lens on Pentax 645Z with the adaptor.
Also, Can I use this lens with my Pocket wizard on the camera? Or do I have to use a sync cable to make the flash work
There is also the CF version but I read its the same optics. Just want to try the V lenses on my Pentax 645Z
Thank you

Just buy (and sell) the lenses to try out....

You can't use the leaf shutter within hasselblad lens, and you also need to manually stop down the aperture.

Flash triggering should work normally, synchronized with the camera's shutter, but without Pentax TTL (although I'm pretty sure Pocket wizard doesn't support it anyway).

Thank you everyone for sharing this. I would like more info on the Best V lenses for Pentax 645Z I researched the CF lenses BUT I would like to know what others I can use
I am looking at the CF 50 F4 and Planar CF 100/3.5 and Mainly CF 150 lens. I dont need TTL and AF . Thank you again, Dennis

The absolutes "best" portraits lens for the V system is the 50, 60, 80, 100, 110, 120, 150, 250, 350
e.g. you can't go wrong with any. The crop factor is ~1.3x so a 60 is a good "normal" lens

The 110 is legendary but could be soft at F2, but if you love it, you'll love it. I love it.

Thank you Richardman, I feel good now after your post. Appreciate it

Richard just listed the lenses that Hasselblad made in that range ;-)

I know. He feels confident that ALL the V lenses are good....of course some are better than others.

Richard didn't mention 180/4 sonnar. This one is often said to be one of the very best

Btw maybe take a look at MTF charts on hasselbladhistorical website: https://hasselbladhistorical.eu/HW/HWLds.aspx

Glaringly overlooked the 105 UV-Sonnar and 135 Makro-Planar as portrait lenses as well

I would recommend in particular the CF 50f4 FLE, CF 100f3.5, FE 150f2.8, CF 180f4. I use on my Contax 645 | IQ180 and my GFX 100 with adapters. They are tack sharp and are great fun to use.

Thank you Chris. Sounds good to me

I think Pentax lenses are "matched" to 645Z. Just as good as any other lenses. Here is Paul Waller, a very well known and respected dealer in UK has some lenses for you.

Perfect statement. Nothing to add to this.

Indeed, my last Hasselblad kit was an SWC/M 903, with those 50, 100 and 180 lenses
