Telephoto lens for H4D

[travels]

<p>I am very new to Medium Format Photography and wondering if there are any long telephoto lenses for an H4D beyond the 300mm Hasselblad lens. I will greatly appreciate your help.</p>

Zaki,<br><br>No.<br>But you can put the 1.7x tele-converter behind the 300 mm lens, creating a 510 mm combination (you will lose AF, because the combo of this lens and converter gets to slow, too dark).

<p>Of course you can also use lenses of the Hasselblad V-system via adapter. This would reach up to 1000 mm when combining a 500 mm lens with a 2x converter. However I do not know if this combination is able to exploit the potential of the H4D sensor. For sure the handling is not easy and requires nothing but the most sturdy tripod and tripod head.<br>

<p>Thank you guys. It seems that 3oo mm lens with an tele convertor is the way to go.</p>
