Here is something you won't see everyday --> I have a 2000FC body with a Pentax 500mm f4.5 lens that has been specifically adapted to work on a Hasselblad V-series. Also included is a Hasselblad trigger grip. Sadly, this set-up has been in a case, unused for a few years now - I am sure someone will get some great use out of this unique set-up. $1250 obo

If a buyer is interested in a complete set-up, I also have a Planar T* 80mm f/2.8, a couple extra backs, finders, a flash pistol grip, etc. - I am sure we can figure something out.

Is it a converted K-mount SMC lens? How is the vignetting?

The lens is a converted Pentax K-mount (or possibly m42) 500mm f/4.5 Takumur. The entire rear portion of lens from the focussing ring back has been replaced with a Hasselblad mount adapter. It is the same model as the lens seen here - kajiwara.weebly.com/takumar-50045.html

polarcircle - vignetting is not an issue.

I will get some photographs up this weekend - my apologies for not getting them up sooner.

If its a Takumar is a converted M42. All K-mount lenses were SMC Pentax denoted.

Not true, there were a couple of exceptions. I think there was at least a Takumer 135mm with K-bajonet.

You are right. I forgot. These are late k-mount, "2nd" class lenses from the 80s. The Takumar 135 f2.5, and f2.8, also 28mm f2.8. The 28 were also branded CPC. I actually have some of these but forgot.

I mostly have M-lenses. Lovely camera, the MX...
 
Here's some pictures:

Impressive setup, especially the custom built mounting bracket.

Thank-you.

All I really did is mount an Arca-Swiss compatible universal rail on the lens' foot. It is shown in the photos, as it was used, connected to a Wimberley WH-101 gimbal head.

The MX and the KX were once my favorite Pentax cameras. Actually have K and M lenses also. Still hasselblad mechanics in a nicely working 2000 body with interlocking speed and aperture beats that, at least for me.

I also found it impressive. How is it working with this setup? Is the lens difficult to focus, some of these older biggies have a stiff focusing.

I guess this would be the ultimate Hasselblad birders setup if sharpness is OK.

On one count Pentax wins hands down: maintenance. They Just Work.. and Keep Working.

Superior lubrication in helicoids etc ensure you don't end with stiff focusing and that kind of fun. I have a Pentax K from the 1950s and it feels like new..

Hasselblad apparantly never bothered to keep up with development there. I've had too many C-lenses in my hands that are in desperate need for maintenance.

Dear Jeff,
I am interested.
How well is the 2000FC working?
I am looking for a beautiful one of these focal plane shutter Hasselblads.
Also is the tripod and mount included?
If so how much would it cost to send to Cairns Qld Australia?

Kind regards
