Not to change the subject, but, considering I also have an old Hassy C with several lenses, have you looked into the possibility of a digital back for your Hasselblad. I have considered it several times and have done a bit research. There are older digital backs that could be considered affordable, but later versions can be quite expensive. I’m just curious whether the older versions are worth the effort compared to newer sensors on recent camera models, like the Sony A7RIV, A1, or the newer Canon and Nikon bodies.

Speaking optically, I have seen the MTF charts for Hassy lenses ( I have the literature) - IMO, they are NOT impressive even only using the center - especially compared to current full frame lenses.

Are you old enough to remember pre-set lenses for 35mm SLRs? They were clunky and slow. Using a Blad lens with adapter would be like that but slower. Seems like it wouldn't be worth it unless you're trying to use something like the Blad 500mm.

I have used my Mamiya MF film lenses with an adapter on my Nikon D7000 DSLR. It looked good to me. Not extremely sharp but had a really nice quality.I have a Hasselblad 500C camera that has Carl Zeiss lenses. I have Nikon cameras D800 , D600.
