Photo example(Leica S typ007 / HASSELBLAD X2D)

Impression
It was manufactured in 1956. The mount side is stamped “MADE IN GERMANY WEST FOR HASSELBLAD”.
Since I do not have any other Planar 80mm lenses, I have not compared their performance, but I like the softness of the old lens.
X2D is used with sensor shutter, and LEICA S typ007 is used with camera shutter.
The following mount adapters are used. Both are just connection adapters without a lens shutter drive mechanism.

  • Hasselblad Hasselblad XV Lens Adapter for X1D-50c1
  • 6024 Leica S Adapter V

Since both cameras have a medium format digital sensor, a factor of 0.8 is applied, which is equivalent to 64mm in 35mm format. 6×6 lens coverage means that even with a medium format digital sensor, there are no complaints on the periphery. In fact, I think it is wonderful that a lens 67 years old as of 2023 can be so practical. It makes me think that a lens is an asset.
The focus ring is at the very front of the lens, but if you use the mount adapter, it is in an easy-to-use position. The aperture preview button is a bit fiddly and needs to be handled with care.
For playing with the mount, it is nice to have a preview button.
