In the days of film I used a 4x5 Sinar but found that the large format lenses were not nearly as sharp as the Zeiss lenses on my Hasselblad. We all know how good modern Nikon lenses are!

Agreed entirely. I have a Nikor 35mm PC lens and the new Samyang 24mm TS f3.5.

This adapter was made just to see how/if it would work. :thumbsup:

I even found a -1.5 diopter lens element and installed it in the wood mount. It works but has some edge fringing.

Bought a Hasselblad lens to Nikon camera adapter a while back and on the shots so far the Hasselblad lenses aren't keeping up to my Nikors.

Don't have any Zeiss glass and plan to do some more tests soon.
