Decently made. The release buttons could have a little bit more tension. I'm using the adapter on a Sigma quattro H, And the only problem I'm having is when I take pictures in the studio if any light is hitting the very front elements I get a green blurry blob on the image. But when I'm able to card off any light from hitting the front of the lens it's very sharp. It's just my opinion but I think the extra filter inside the Sigma camera catches the light differently then what is focused on the filter and causes the light blur. On images where I do not have that strange little anomaly, the detail is amazing even with older Hasselblad lenses.

The adapter was rather inexpensive, (thank you), arrived on time, (thank you), fit my Hasselblad lenses and Sigma SD Quattro H body, without any light leaks and will now allow me to use my old collection of Hasselblad lenses to the amazing Foveon sensor which is reported to be equivalent to a 51 MP Bayer Sensor. It works as described. Of course I use the tripod ring since my Hasselblad lenses weigh more than my Sigma camera body! Unfortunately, if you give a mouse a cookie...I have already ordered the Kipon Hasselblad to Sigma tilt/shift lens adapter and am looking forward to its arrival. However, a note of caution. I tested my new Sigma 105mm f 2.8 IS Macro lens against my Hasselblad, 3rd generation, 110 f 2 F Planar, and the new Sigma lens images have more resolution, contrast and color saturation than my old favorite Hasselblad lens, even though I used a tripod, remote cable release and lens hood on both set ups, at comparable apertures. This means I might have to buy more Sigma lenses! However, both photos after Photoshop were almost indistinguishable even on my 18"x32" monitor. I only have a 16x24 printer and less than 1 out of 1,000 photos get enlarged that much so for all intents and purposes, I will now be able to use my otherwise dormant for 15 years Hasselblad lenses since film costs are up to $ 3/shot and the best scanners available to me only gave me 37 MP images. This dinosaur is evolving slowly! This adapter helps!

Nowadays, as the number of people using interchangeable lens digital cameras increases, proprietary combinations of camera lenses and bodies are no longer able to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated demands of the many photography enthusiasts. The use of lens adapters have given users full rein of customizing their equipment to best fulfill their needs through different combinations of lenses and camera bodies.
However, although individual camera manufacturers havecreated their own customized adapters, combining lenses and camera bodies of different manufacture has become an ever expanding challenge. At KIPON, a world-renown camera adapter manufacturer, we have developed over 400 types of adapters. With our various adapters, we offer our users the freedom and compatibility of lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have made possible not only the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses.
KIPON offers a full line of camera lens adapters including macro adapters, electronic adapters, adapters with integrated glass, optical focal reduction adapters, adapters with built in aperture control, tilt/shift adapters, tilt adapters, and shift adapters.
The KIPON HB-SA adapter mounts Hasselblad V mount CF series lenses on Sigma SAseries camera bodies. Please note that after mounting the adapter only manual focus will be accessible when shooting. There is a pin baffle on the adapter which presses against the pin on the lens to allow the lens to control the aperture. Please note that lenses with extra long pins can not be mounted with this adapter.
All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide our customers with only the utmost precision and quality. We guarantee an ideal fitting between cameras and lenses to maintain the ease and accuracy of photography. All adapters are made of brass and/or aluminum alloy.
Please note that not all camera models and lenses are compatible with this adapter. Please take extra care when attempting to use any adapter with wide angle and fisheye lenses. Please contact our lens specialists if you have any questions regarding compatibility.
