Jena 180mm f2.8 on Hasselblad 1000f

@orsetto the mount arrived yesterday and was a perfect fit. Now just waiting on a pentacon six to m42 adapter to mount it on my monochrom. Looking for a pentacon six body now also. Happy days!

Wonder how this lens compares to the Hasselblad 180mm CF lens.

From a "superficial" perspective, the CF is an f4 while the Jena is F2.8. The CF achieves this using 5 aperture blades while the Jena uses a remarkable 18. I've not used the CF so I can't comment on how it performs in comparison. Comments from our usual list of experts though would be encouraged.

Gee, wouldn't it be cheaper and easier just to buy a Pentacon 6 body to use the 180mm Jena lens with?

Or even a Mamiya 645 and readily-available P6 adapter.

It's not like the camera body has any effect on the image quality

It does if the shutter curtain doesn't close. :) (Pentacon 6?)

Buying another body (Pentacon Six) in order to use this lens without going to the trouble of arranging a mount for my Rolleiflex SL66 is slightly tempting. There is one for sale locally (Australia) but the vendor reports some shutter curtain closing problems. So I've lost enthusiasm! The Mamiya 645 does not appeal for portrait orientation.

I am still tempted to try to use my spare blank lens mount. A previous post here said that it would not be ideal. Why is that? I wouldn't expect auto aperture!

I'm also tempted by a Biometar 120mm f/2.8, also usually available in Pentacon Six mount. If I was really lucky and everything worked out I could use the same mount as the 180mm. Maybe that would be too much to hope for.

Hi Orsetto, yes after some research I learned this but to my disappointment I realise that whatever fitting mine originally had had been removed or lost so I’m trying to find a replacement. Here are some images:

The original mounts were made in P-6 (Pentacon 6), Exakta 35mm, & M-42 mount. At a later point, there were some made in NIKON F mount. For the ultimate lens hacker, some were made for Hasselblad 2000/200 series, Hasselblad 1600/1000F, Bronica S/S2 and finally Pentax 67 MOUNT. The later lens hacker would require a machinist to fabricate a new solid mount and for the Bronica S/S2 machining the helicoid.

I do not know if Zork did the conversions, but that would not surprise me. They offered several lenses in converted mounts for general sale back then. I bought a nice Zork converted Mamiya 55mm shift lens in Hasselblad-V mount, it's not that unusual for them to show up used.

P6 vs SL66 Sonnar

 

The CZJ Sonnar 180/2.8 appears to be made with the SL66 in mind, all the controls are forward of the tripod mount, so even for the factory, they just have to change the rear barrel behind the aperture ring. This is also true for the 300mm Sonnar and the 120mm Biometar. All 3 were listed as a catalogue item for the SL66 at one time, so they will show up on the used market every now and then.

 

You blank Rollei mount was made primarily for macro and LF lenses. Converting a 180 Sonnar would entail machining a new rear barrel, at which point you may as well machine the rest of the SL66 mount.

Tom Chow,

I have a late model CZJ 180mm 2.8 MC for my SL66. Hasselblad 2000/200 series. Also one for my Hasselblad 1000F too..

Very cool!

I used the 180 and 300 on my Hasselblad 1000F. When that camera died an early death. A decade later I used on 2000FCM, that I bought new from Ken Hansen. Still using on 2000FCM, but, like Wotan at Walhalla, waiting for when camera will die.

Can not find anyone who can service 2000FCM...even for a general lubrication. Should anybody have a name, please lell me.

Will not Hasselblad do this?
