p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Adapter for Leica-R and Hasselblad lenses

Hi,

I have a Nikon body and soon I'll have a Canon body.

I have two Hasselblad "V" lenses, and I'll have a Leica-R lens.

I am in need then, to adapt these lenses to Nikon and Canon
bodies.

I have seen Novoflex adapters and they are supposedly very
good, but also very expensive. On e-bay, one finds many
inexpensive adapters but many people say that the quality
varies.

Reading a related topic in the forum a month ago, I recall
some people commenting on an adapter of the brand name
Dioptrin.

Please let me know as well the place where i could buy it,

Thank you, kind regards,

igmolinav : ) !!!

The Fotodiox Pro adapters are quite nice. They are a little pricy, but not as much as the Novoflex. Don't get the cheaper Fotodiox non-Pro adapters though, which have a mixed reputation.

I recommend Fotodiox Pro, too. Unless the Leica-R is 21mm or wider, in which case you should look at the Leitax mount conversion, http://www.leitax.com/.

Another vote for fotodiox pro Leica/Nikon. I do have one on my summicron 50 They are a bit cheaper when you buy them from fotodiox via their ebay offers than from their website. For Hasselblad I would get a mirex tilt shift adapter.

Here is a review, that might give you an idea how the mirex works

Hi,

Thank you for your responses : ) !!!

I'll be looking at the adapters by fotodiox. The Leica lens I am talking about is a 24 mm.
The products from Leitax made a good impression on me. I like what they coomunicate on their website. However, they are pricier than the ones by fotodiox.

Kind regards,

igmolinav.
