Very interesting. Thank you for the information.
I'm assuming they would need a shutter and a means to trigger the shutter by the V body if they were going to work on V series bodies?Good news. Those two lenses will mount on most cameras via adapters except a Hasselblad(V). wonder how much more is required to make those work on V(f) series?
Well, if you were going to use them on a 200 or 2000 series camera you could just use the focal plane shutter. However, it looks like the rear element of both lenses might protrude into the mirror box (at least judging from the renderings on the individual product pages). That would be badI'm assuming they would need a shutter and a means to trigger the shutter by the V body if they were going to work on V series bodies?
Pretty neat lenses and system. Lets hope they materialize.
To facilitate compatibility across many camera systems, the lenses are fitted with Hasselblad V-compatible lens mounts with a back focal distance of 74,9mm, allowing them to use widely available adapters to attach to almost any camera.
Please note that these lenses were not designed to be used on Hasselblad V-cameras due to significant incompatibilities.
After reading about non compatibility with V or F bodies, my head started spinning !It baffles me, too ... :loco:
Ed, You have.So the lenses have a V-mount, but aren't compatible with V-mount cameras...? Forgive me, but have I understood that correctly?
You're missing nothing and you hit the nail, Mat !I take it as, forget the V mount cameras, it's just not what they are for. If you could use any mount you like for a new system, then the V mount is great, it's huge, large focal distance allows loads of movements without impeding on the camera body with the added benefit of there being enough space for an adapter for direct mount to pretty much any mirrored or mirrorless camera. Looking at their own tech camera style setup, the lens mount is largely irrelevant, assuming the size of the mount doesn't have a negative impact to movements, so why not the V mount? They aren't building ultra high tech lenses for an old system, they are just using the dimensions and mount for a new system. Unless I'm missing something?
Go figure. So then it would mount to, and focus at infinity on, a Hassy 200 series or 500 series, or could be mounted to a Phase One DF+ or Phase One XF via adapter.Info says 74.9mm http://nws-instruments.ch/NWS_23APO.html
