Hasselblad to Nikon F-mount adapter?

[Analog6]

Someone on another fourm I ma on (obviously a Nikon user) asks:

"Can I get a Hasselblad to Nikon F-mount adapter?
If so, would I want to do that and what are potential pitfalls?

Here's the thought. I've got the urge to get a Carl Zeiss Planar 110mm f2.
I already know of Hasselblad to Contax 645 adapters but I just wondered if the lens can do double duty and be mounted on Nikon F-mounts too, which is my digital platform.
I'd love to eventually own a blad and with the appropriate adapters, one lens becomes three (or 4 if you count DX/FX) focal lengths. Ok... its not a big difference between 645 and 6x6 but the change in format does change things up.
I'm aware that it is manual focus only, and probably only stop down metering but that lens is essentially going to be used wide open much of the time so no big deal there."

Is there such a beast? I'll report back.

Yes the adapter exists and is beautifully made.
Simply check evilbay to find one.
Adapters exist for Canon DSLR, Nikon, Pentax etc.
I paid around 35 euro for a Pentax adapter including shipping from Hong Kong. A true bargain.

I still own one and I did use it for a year or so - back in the days when I used to shoot digital

Not only stop down metering but Stop down Shooting.

When you stop the lens down to anything but wide open it is very difficult to focus - I mean almost impossible

The quality is unbelievable... basically the lenses create a new camera of its own class... once you shoot with them you wouldn't want to use a nikkor lens never again...

Will recommend it 100%, although only for studio use/makro, when things can be done on a slow pace.

That is exactly what I use the S-Planar lens for.
Quality is superb as can be expected for a lens optimised for close distance jobs with minimal distortion.

I had one for Nikon and now for Canon I almost never use.
BTW the Zeiss 180mm 4.0 was my best canon lens !
