The Contax 645 Pro Lens Adapter from FotodioX is an all-metal manual adapter that allows you to use your Contax 645 lenses with any Hasselblad X-system camera. It features a chrome-plated brass mount for a precise fit, built-in aperture control, an Arca-type compatible lens foot, and is designed to allow focusing to infinity regardless of the equipment used.

This product is useful for mounting lenses that produce image circles large enough to cover medium-sized sensors, which is true of many telephoto models designed for full-frame cameras. It can also be deployed with tilt-shift lenses as an inexpensive way to use your Hasselblad for that kind of photography. Wide-angle lenses, however, will vignette. Please note that this is a manual adapter, and that any electronic communication between the equipment will be disrupted.

Q: 4. I bought this adapter. It came without any instructions about how to mount the Hasselblad lenses. The mounting of Hasselblad lenses to Hasselblad cameras must be done in a certain way. They must be cocked before removing them and so forth, or a jam can occur. So what is the order of mounting and how does it behave with the Sony camera? I do not wish to jam the lens and or camera and some directions for using this are really needed. In the absence of instructions, I may need to return it.Thank you.

A: A Hasselblad lens (with a leaf shutter) cannot be safely removed or reattached without being cocked . In this state, the leaf shutter is open for focusing or in this case photographing on a mirrorless camera. While the adapter does not require the shutter being cocked, you will need it in this state to shoot with and remount back onto a Hasselblad body without risking jamming. Use of this adapter will not trip the shutter on the Hasselblad lens as you are using the shutter in-camera to make an exposure.

A: The 500, 200, and 2000 cameras are all considered part of Hasselblads V system, and share the same physical mount and register.
