Great Video very informative. The great attraction with the Fuji GFX is adapting Blad lenses (and others). Especially for people who own a few! I agree the tilt shift adaptor is probably th most versatile. Subscribed!
Hi Kevin ! Very nice pictures out of these sessions ! As I am a newbie about Blad lenses, can you tell me which lenses you used and which one you recommend (especially for landscape, like a sharp telephoto lens for example) ? Thank you so much !! Take care, Colin
Thank you for the kind words. For the telephoto shots in this video I use the 150mm f/4. For my every day lens with a normal field of view, I use the 80mm f/2.8 For the wider shots, I use the 50mm f/4. Hope that helps!
@@KevinDeal Thanks a lot Kevin ! That helps A LOT ! I just ordered a 250mm F5.6 to try on my GFX50SII. This 150mm might be a nice one too ! I'm new to these series of lenses, but I feel like I just found serious clients for my GFX body... All the best to you !
Hi @@KevinDeal , I just bought a Sonnar 150mm Hasselblad V. I already got the 250mm and it works like a charm with my GFX50SII. But with the 150mm I've got troubles to stop down the aperture : blades won't close further than F5.6. I'm stuck with F4 and F5.6. On the 250mm I've got a lever to un block the access to slower apertures, but on this 150mm there's no lever to unlock the blades of the diaphragm... Do you have an idea on how to unlock this system ? Thanks for your time !
@@KevinDeal, I don't have any Hasselblad body. It acts like this when the leaf shutter is open (necessary to use it on GFX). When the leaf shutter is closed, I can switch on any aperture position, the diaphragm acts like it should. :) I contacted several people, wait and see... Thanks a lot, Kevin !
Thank you for your comparison. Does the leaf shutter of the v mount lens makes any difference in adapting the lens compared to a let’s say Mamiya lens?😊
I haven't noticed there be any difference with the V mount. The GFX shutter is the one that is used. The Hasselblad lens just stays open at whichever aperture it is set at. This is nice because I get a the much higher maximum shutter speed of my camera body.
Hello! All are very interesting shots. Excuse me, if I have missed the point.. but which is the Zeiss V lens for Hasselblad that you have used with the Fotodiox version? Is it the 80mm Planar F 2.8? and what is the diaphragm for those portraits?. Thanks. I have the 80mm 2.8 Planar that I wish to use with my GFX , later after I get the adapter..
What I meant to ask was, which is the lens you are using during the first part of your video, including the portraits? Is it the 80 mm or any other focal length? Thanks
The one thing I wanted to know, you did not cover. How to use the lens on the camera with the adapter? How do you meter, how do you make the adjustments? Seems to me, I'm guessing here, is you would compose withe lens wide open, then meter with the Hassy lens stopped down to the aperture you desire and set the GFX up to aperture priority so that shutter speed of the GFX is determined from the preferred aperture set on the lens? Would have been nice if you had not overlooked that.
In Manual. You adjust your aperture at the Hasselblad lens, your image gets lighter and darker. You then adjust your shutter speed and ISO at the camera like you normally would. In A mode, as you adjust the aperture lighter and darker at the lens and your shutter speed adjusts automatically at the camera as it reacts to your manual changes of aperture. In S mode, it doesn't work because it has no aperture meta data to communicate with. Hope that helps. It basically just acts like a Fuji lens with an aperture ring and no autofocus, minus the meta data of aperture value being sent to the camera.
The TLT-ROKH adapter has not-too-good ergonomics. The shift function is manually adjusted on a friction slider. You have to keep a latch pressed while shifting, making it a 2-hand operation. No positive feel to it and the shift cannot be finely tuned as with a screw or worm mechanism. There is no click stop in the central position. The tilt function is even less precise. You have to undo a small brass knob that's recessed into the adapter body and you need to shift the lens all the way to operate it. Ensuring the position is held needs considerable tightening, leading to painful fingers. Lens rotation is performed by depressing a rather sharp serrated metal tab, which is rather painful too.
Have you adapted your Hasselblad V mount lenses to Fuji GFX? What were your results? Tell me about it in the comments.

Glad it was helpful! And yes, I love that shift adapter.
Hi yes it was but I first have to sell off older 2 1/4 goods and get old Hasselblad lens and buy a used GFX 100S to the put lens on it! thank you.
It's a fun set up once you get it up and running.

@@colingentile does it perform this way on just the GFX or does it also do this on your Hasselblad as well?

I have the Planar 2.8. The Fotodiox adapter will work with any V mount lens for Hasselblad.

Well. If your on GFX, they finally announced tilt shift lenses last week. They’re $4000. But they finally arrived.
A Hasselblad body cap would protect the front of the ND filter. Not much money.
Very true
