Playing with a new camera set up at work today. Thinking of taking this deal to Thai. The body is a Hasselblad X1D, the lens is a Leica M 28-35-50mm F4 (Tri-Elmar).
I got an cheapo Chinese adaptor off E-Bay a few days back, it allows me to mount the Leica M lens to the Blad body. There might be a bit of vignetting at the 28mm setting, but the 35 and 50 look fine.
Because all XCD lens for the X1D Blad use leaf shutter, you have to use the electronic shutter when using adapters. Am not sure how that will affect things. The Leica lens is sharp and more compact than my 2 XCD lens (21mm and 45mm). Might be worth taking to Thailand. Manual focus of course. I like having 3 focal lengths along with the 50 meg sensor.
