Hasselblad HASSELBLAD PC-Mutar 1.4x Shift Converter | $2299.95 | |  |
The shift range of this converter is ± 16 mm, the scale allowing repeatable settings. It can be used with lenses from 40 to 100 mm focal length. The image quality is superb even at full lens aperture.
The PC-Mutar 1.4X is another interesting addition to the range of lenses for Hasselblad cameras. It features a vertical shift facility for perspective control, e.g. for avoiding converging lines.
The PC-Mutar 1.4X Shift Converter was optimized for use with the Distagon CF 4/40 mm lens. This combination results in a PC lens with an initial aperture of f/5.6, a focal length of 56 mm and a usable image circle diameter of 106 mm. The shift range of the lens is ±16 mm, the scale allowing repeatable settings. The image quality is superb even at full lens aperture.
The vertical shift facility requires mechanical separation of the camera and the shutter. For this reason, the shutter must be separately cocked and then released synchronously with the camera using a special twin cable release. In its zero position, the PC-Mutar 1.4X Shift Converter can also be used as a normal teleconverter with the Zeiss lenses up to a focal length of 100 mm. If the PC function of the PC-Mutar converter is required, we recommend using it together with Zeiss lenses with a focal length from 40 mm to 80 mm.
