LEICA S with HC150mm
Review of HASSELBLAD HC150mm with Leica S typ007
The HC150mm is an older model and cannot be used with the HASSELBLAD X series such as the X2D in autofocus (AF) mode; it can be used with the LEICA S in AF mode, but the AF speed is too slow to be useful for anything but still life.
With the LEICA S, the 35mm equivalent is 120mm, which provides a reasonable compression effect, and the beauty of the front and rear bokeh is the same as when using the X series.
Since the minimum focusing distance is 1.3m and the extension tube cannot be used with the LEICA S, the CONTAX 645 SONNAR 140mm, which has similar specifications, is more versatile to the extent that the extension tube can be used, and there are few opportunities to take this lens out of the house.
