You can adapt all sorts of lenses to an XCD, but you're limited to electronic shutter which makes it a non-starter for many applications.
Thanks. I think there might be a couple of lenses out there in medium format that use a leaf-shutter, but maybe not for Hasselblad comm protocols. I'll do a deeper dive.

The leaf shutters of Hasselblad V lenses will not work on a Hasselblad X camera. You will still need to use the camera's electronic shutter.
As far as I know other than the XCD lenses there are no other leaf shutter lenses that support the same protocol.

Thanks. Yeah, I went a little deeper on the net and came to that conclusion as well. No big deal, as I'm sure Hasselblad has great WA lenses with great correction, for use in real estate, etc...you can always use a rail if you need a wide pano.

Just curious if technical type lenses can be adapted to the Hasselblad XCD mount?
If you are shooting slower moving objects or architecture- ES will work fine for you-
Here is a picture with the 120 f/4 I Canon Beach- ES works great unless you are in a rush or shooting closer moving subjects-
I actually had my 907x 100c connected to a film body for this setup - Loved using it and ES worked out fine.
Also another with one of the best ever forgotten lenses- The 110 Planar F/2- This has a leaf shutter but still can’t use it- Has to be locked and still use ES-
Have a bunch more examples but these came up the quickest in LR- There are some amazing lenses out there just begging to be used!!!!! Enjoy

X cameras can only use XCD or HC lenses with their leaf shutters, including the HC TS1.5x shift converter.
Or use the electronic shutter. Personally I'd get a GFX body if I were adapting lenses.

For sure - GFX would be the more logical option. I was just curious about Hasselblad, since their cameras seem to be built for an advantage for architecture - as in "I can offer something others in my area can't."
My SL2 and Panasonic 16-35/4 do a good enough job with Real Estate shots.
