Mamiya 28mm Fish on H3-22II?

[christian_r]

Hi!

Can I use this lens with an adapter? And what view will I get counting in 135mm? I want 180degree coverage.

Anyone?

Ok, can you fit mamiya lenses on Hassie H system? With adapter

I do not see how this lens could work on a Hasselblad even if there was an adapter. This lens has no shutter in it.

Without a shutter the only bodies this lens can be used wih are the ones from the 2000 and 200 series.
A good machinist should be able to make a suitable adapter using an extension ring.

Of course the early focal plane cameras, 1600F and 1000F, would also be suitable but these bodies love to be used with their own lenses be it Kodak or Carl Zeiss.

I used a few odd focal length Mamiya 645 lenses on a Contax 645 for awhile ... including a 500mm mirror for 645 coverage.

The Mamiya fisheye is 24mm BTW. It has considerable distortion.

It is a 645 optimized lens so will not work well on a 6X6 200 series Hasselblad.

Trust me, it is not worth the effort to adapt it to anything (IMO).

You can use the Zeiss 30mm fisheye or any 500 series lens on an H camera using the CF adapter.

Or the HC 28mm which is as wide as you can currently get.

Or use the digital back on a tech camera with a 24mm APO digital lens.

If you want 180 coverage for free, try stitching 3+ shots together with a stitching program.

Marc,

Excellent thoughts and suggestions.

One item to note. The H3DII will register a message on the LCD display on the camera grip "Lens not compatible" when a lens that is not recognized by the system is attached.
