The 23mm f/5.6 HR Digaron-S Lens Unit for Select Horseman Cameras from Horseman is a Rodenstock 23mm HR Digaron-S lens with a standard Copal #0 shutter built into a Horseman-specific helical focusing mount and barrel assembly made to fit upon SWD PRO, SWDII PRO, and SW612D cameras. This lens provides a wide angle of view and a large image circle. The 23mm lens unit in combination with a 40 x 54mm image sensor gives you the same wide angle as a 15mm lens with the 35mm format. 

Rodenstock Digital lenses are optimized for use with a digital back on your large format camera. The HR feature denotes the high resolving power of this lens and is excellent for high-resolution CCD sensors with small pixel sizes.

While this lens unit will fit on multiple cameras it was introduced with the Horseman SW612D which is a super-wide camera developed for use with digital camera backs and roll film holders. The camera becomes compatible with camera backs offered by various makers by simply interchanging adapter plates or with the Horseman Roll Film Holders from 6x7 to 6x12cm formats. It features very lightweight and compact design yet rugged CNC machined precision mechanism to help handheld shooting effortlessly.

Q: 1. How can i adapt this lens to fit my Hasselblad arcbody system?

A: The Hasselblad ArcBody used a special lens series for shift applications that were designed and produced for Hasselblad by Rodenstock, Germany. They were the Rodenstock Apo-Grandagon 35mm f/4.5 lens (27035), the Rodenstock Apo-Grandagon 45mm f/4.5 Lens (27045), and the Rodenstock Grandagon-N 75mm f/4.5 lens (27075). Unfortunately, I see no other lenses or lens adapters listed as compatible with the Hasselblad ArcBody.
