Let the "offender" continue to pile on, . More from the manual focus, medium format Mamiya 645 APO 200/2.8 adapted to my full frame DSLR.
I grabbed this shot of my son as he waited in the minivan while I was shooting. First is the full shot followed but a full size crop to show what you get on an original Canon 5D with this lens. No processing other than to open the raw file up as shot.
And a few more from that day with this setup. Found them last night going through the archives.
Pixel peeping at these images full size on my computer revealed really good edge to edge sharpness and just something about the way it renders the tonal quality of colors. Not even sure if I'm explaining that right.
Edit: looks like the site downsizes the images, even when clicked on. Check this link for the full size but low res JPG.

I purchased years ago an adapter to mount my Hasselblad-Zeiss V-lenses on my Sony A7R. It works, photos also looked good, but I haven't used this combination much: I just didn't see an advantage over just adapting DSLR lenses on my A7R. It just didn't make much sense to me to have a 6x6 cm based medium format lens mounted on a camera with 35 mm sensor size. The story would be very different mounting the V-lenses onto a digital medium format camera if I owned one. Or vice-versa - using a digital back on my Hasselblad 500 C/M. I don't have this one either.

I will add that it made a lot more sense 20 years ago to use adapted lenses, especially the manual focus stuff. It was all being dumped and dirt cheap on the used market.
When I picked up the medium format Mamiya 200/2.8 it was the fraction of the cost of a similar DSLR prime lens. I also spent about a two year period renting moderns lenses and comparing them against all the cheap old primes I was picking up. On a whole the old Lecia/Zeiss/Pentax glass always tested out better than the Canon offerings of the time. Funny thing is, I've been going over my past decades of pictures and two days ago I found a folder full of test images back in the day. Finally deleted that stuff. I had forgotten how much testing I had did on this decades ago.
The price consideration is a lot different now. Plus I've got to admit, the 24-90 and 90-280 Leica zooms I just picked up are freaking amazing for zoom lenses. You wouldn't find nothing like them 20 years ago.
