Product Information

Full details

The Hasselblad XV Lens Adapter is designed for photographers using the X1D-50c camera who wish to expand their lens selection with Hasselblad's extensive legacy V System lenses. Its key benefit is unlocking over sixty additional lens options, ranging from 30mm to 500mm, to the X1D-50c system. A crucial caveat is that all supported V System lenses function exclusively with the X1D-50c's electronic shutter.

Troubleshooting

Lens not recognized by camera

Ensure the adapter is securely attached to both the lens and the camera. Verify that the X1D-50c's firmware is up to date. Check that the lens contacts are clean.

Camera does not fire or capture image

Confirm that the X1D-50c's electronic shutter is enabled. Check battery levels on the camera. Ensure the lens is properly mounted and locked.

Image appears underexposed or overexposed

Adjust exposure settings on the X1D-50c camera. The adapter itself does not control exposure; this is managed by the camera body.
