Leica R lens tests to cover the Mini MF sensor size 33mm X 44mm
Rather than continuing to post results of tests in the new Hasselblad X1D-50c Medium Format Mirrorless and to assist those that are considering either the new Hasselblad X1D-50c or the new Fujifilm GFX 50S mirrorless cameas that both have the same 33mm X 44mm sensor size, I am posting results of my tests here.
These tests are being conducted to determine Leica R lenses that will cover the new format size as Manual focus lenses that will be options to cover this format. At this point, the Hasselblad is a closed system that will only accept and use Leaf Shutter lenses including those designed for the camera and some other Hasselblad lenses including the V series lenses. Unless Hassleblad comes out with a usable Electronic shutter, the Leica R lenses will not prove of any value. However, the announced Fujifilm camera has a focal plane shutter, is considering the release of leaf shutter lenses, and this system is and will be an open system as is the Sony A7 series of cameras. Those R lenses that will cover the sensor size should be considered as options for the soon to be released Fujifilm camera providing a maker will make a Leica R to the new Fujifilm mount.
To begin the data and images, I will provide the data and information provided in the Hassleblad X1D-50c Medium Format Mirrorless Thread. I will start this information in the following post and the information regarding other lenses in subsequent posts.
