Obviously, there is a OIS benefit of the Fuji GF lens, but that isn't really much of a concern since I use it on a tripod pretty much all the time anyway.
I have a growing Hasselblad system and currently have the normal 250mm Sonnar which is pretty inexpensive but the thought occurred to me that it might make a lot of sense to spring for the Superachromat version and sell the GF lens. The Zeiss is smaller, lighter, and if it performs really well, it wouldn't be any reduction in quality and I would be able to use it on either camera.
It's too expensive for me to just drop the coin on it without having a decent idea that it will be excellent.
Unfortunately, the one set of comments I have seen were pretty sparse on detail and there was no comparision with the GF lens at all (Kasson).
Thanks, ---MichaelI have a copy of Hasselblad 250mm f/5.6 CF Superachromat and use it on my GFX 50S. I really like this lens and it can be adapted to Fuji, Hasselblad XD and Leica S mini MF bodies. The lens not that heavy and I have used it handheld with good results. It may be worth mention that lens is single coated so its color is pretty neutral, not saturated.Yes, I saw that it is single coated. I am mostly a B&W shooter anyway, so that isn't really a concern for me, but if I were a color shooter (and also commercial chooter), I'd probably be inclined to stick with the Fuji GF lens to maintain some color consistency in the shots. If it is as sharp as the 250 GF lens, then I will have to start looking around for one to try out.I find that the sharpness of the lens is good enough for my user cases. I can't comment on the comparison with the Fuji GF250 since I have not used that Fuji lens. But if you read the MTF diagrams of both lenses, the GF250 should be sharper by a good margin,
I have the Hassleblad C Zeiss 250 f/5.6 SuperAchromat as well and really love the lens. As mentioned it has a different and I think very nice rendering. I doubt it is as sharp as the Fuji GF 250, but you can't really compare the MTFs from the two manufacturers. The Zeiss MTFs are measured and the Fuji MTFs are theoretical, so you are really comparing apples to oranges when looking at these two sets of MTFs. I find the SuperAchromat to be sharp enough when I have used it but it is the rendering that really makes the lens.

You have a very nice, lightweight setup now for movements.
The tilt mechanism on the Fotodiox is a pain if you mount your camera to the tripod, and then tilt the lens. It is much easier to use if you put a lens collar around the front of the adapter, mount the collar to the tripod, and then tilt the body. This also helps reduce the amount of recomposing needed.
Unfortunately, you have to build your own collar. If you have a file and patience, it's not hard to do. I used an inexpensive one from eBay. Have I shared this link with you yet? I can't remember. If not, here it is again: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4548327

Thanks to you. Based on our conversation and your posts over the net, I decided to take the plunge.

My experience is only with the two mentioned but a lot of others have come to the same conclusion - that the Fringer is the adapter to get - y'know - if you can get it. They're all about the same price, more or less. Is the Fringer not available where you're at?
How do these adapters work with Sigma EF lenses? I have a 100-400 that I could use (at least in crop mode), but I'm not willing to buy an expensive adapter if I can't be 100% sure it works.
And if it does work, will OIS work? And/or will IBIS know the focal length when zooming?

I use the Sigma 135 1.8 Art and 85 1.4 Art EF mount and with the fringer Ibis works just like native glass. Can't answer the question on the zoom as I don't own any EF zoom lens just primes.

Fringer works much better than Andoer, faster to focus. I have not tried any other ones.
