p.1 #1XCD Lenses and Extension Rings

I’ve been working with most of the extension rings available for the Hasselblad X2D Mark II Camera and the various lenses. I am a close-up photographer. It is important to put the extension ring on first and then the lens or it does not seem to work. If you put the extension ring and the lens together and then try to mount it on the camera it does not work. Have not tried that with all the XCD lenses, but it does not work with the XCD 120mm Macro lens.

Here is the X2D Mark II with the 9mm Hasselblad extension on the XCD 120mm f/3.5 lens for a simple close-up. I have two copies of the 9 mm extension, the 11mm extension and 48mm extension rings from Photodiox Pro to play with.

Here is an image with the D2X Mark II and the XCD 120mm f/3.5 lens af F/6.3 with 9mm of extension. I wonder if some of you who are working with Hasselblad with these extensions want to discuss extensions and show some examples.
