Has anyone ever used Hasselblad V-system lenses on V-Raptor?

I have the FE Hasse's and an adapter that brings them to EF mount..Im searching for a RF solution... They are wonderful...I also have a mount that gives me tilt and shift function on these lenses.... as the circle of coverage is so large its great because you can tilt and shift to your hearts content...

Same, they are great. They are like very large image circle Contax's.

I have been experimenting with some medium format Zeiss Jena and Mamiya 645 lenses both as-is and with a Kipon Baveyes Medium Format Speed Booster, they're very nice for the most part but there's definitely more not so amazing lenses in the lineups than the usual consistently good FF lens lineups. I've wanted to try Hasselblad but those get listed and bid up so quick it's just ridiculous but from ones that I've played with in stores, they are very nice.

What I've found though is that while they may work well enough on S35 and FF cameras, they really need the FF plus Speed Booster treatment to really shine or, even better, a real medium format sensor for the full effect. If someone could make a mirrorless 6x9 digital sensor with crop modes to 6x7 and 645 then medium format lenses would be even more compelling but it's currently a matter of taste and preference to use them on FF or S35 and the added bonus of tilt/shift adapters and speed boosters is a plus, again, if that's what you're looking for.

I love mine but the thing you have to remember is that these lenses are over 20 or 30 years old on some of them and coating and lens tech has come a long way.. They were the top of the line at the time and still produce an amazing image but I do notice things like cromatic artifacts and a few other things but the look if you know what your looking at is truly amazing.. I don't think Ill ever let the 110mm 2.0 go. such an amazing look unlike anything else... That said I just recently bought a Canon 50mm .95 dream lens and thats the new favorite flavor..
He he he...I think I have a vintage glass problem in that I really love them all for one reason or another..
