Maybe the final result has something to do with specific exposure adjustment?<br> Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Greetings,</p> <p>I want to get a set of cokin-p filters with the holder for my hasselblad. But I'm kind of stuck between several options I have no clue about. Ideally I want to have one set of filters for both 80mm f/2.8 CT* and 50mm f/4 CFT*.</p> <p>There are 2 ways to attach cokin p holder to hasselblad lenses:<br> - get an adapter for normal screw-in filters for each lens and buy a cokin-p holder with a set of adapters for each diameter; b50 and b60 to normal filters are cheap, as well as cokin adapters for them<br> - get a dedicated cokin adapter for B50 & B60 bayonet; they are much more expensive</p> <p>What is the downside of each option? Will I notice any degradation in image quality with either?<br> Maybe someone thinks that this setup is inferior compared to a set of original hasselblad B50 and B60 filters?<br> Or is it better to buy a set of screw-in filters with an adapter for B50 & B60?</p> <p>I mostly need a UV filter and yellow filter for portraits.<br> I might want to experiment later with other filters such as ND filters for long exposures, blue filters for dramatic skin, green filter and some white balance shift filters for color film.</p> <p>Thank you for any help!</p>

<p>Thank you all so much for your advices.<br> Even though I never crop my film shots (it's like a sacrilege to me, lol), I'll try the 50mm first just for practical reasons: it's cheaper, easier to get and most likely easier to sell. If I hate it.. oh well, I don't even want to think about that :)<br> Do you think $570 is a reasonable price for EX+ CF version?</p>

<p>Hi everyone!</p> <p>I am looking for a moderate-wide angle lens for my hasselblad. I already have a normal focal lenght 80mm f/2.8.</p> <p>I'm going to use it mainly for environmental portraits and sometimes for landscapes. I've read that 60mm is very close to 80mm to have both as a 2-lens kit. However by looking at pictures taken with 50mm f/4 I think it's too wide for me and perspective distortion may be too strong for portraits.</p> <p>I know many hasselblad users suggest 100mm + 60mm as a kit, but I don't want to give up 80mm</p> <p>Does anyone have experience using 60mm with 80mm lens? </p> <p>Additionally, can you link or post any examples of portraits taken with distagon 50mm f/4 that you like? Maybe it's not that bad?</p> <p>Thank you for any advice.</p>

<p>Thank you, this makes it a less desireable investment. It's already 1 stop darker than Canon 100/2.8 macro and with the added extention tubes the bellows factor will be just enormous. </p>

<p>Thanks for replies everyone. I'm totally ok with 1:2 ratio, since I'm going to use it for a very specific application and not going to shoot macro in "normal" sense.</p> <p>What extention tube would I need to achieve 1:2?</p>

<p>Hello!<br> I'm looking into a purchase of Zeiss 120mm Macro Planar for Hasselblad 501cm. I would also love to use it with my Canon 6D as macro lens. Will it give me a 1:1 magnification? If not - how can I calculate the actual ratio I can get?<br> Thank you in advance!</p>
