Hasselblad lenses on Sigma SD1?

I would guess the medium format lenses might have some utility on tilt/shift adapter for 135 full frame.

I can't speak for an SD-1, but I tried all my Hasselblad lenses in similar fashion with several Nikons (D2x, D3, D3s, D7000, D600) and none raised more than a feeling of "meh". For one thing the lenses are slow (ƒ/4 & 5.6 being the most common max aperture) and have slow and heavy focussing action, which makes focussing problematical.

Then there's the hassle of having to trip the stop-down lever to close down the aperture before every shot, and physically open it again after the shot or to re-focus, all rounded off with that lump of medium format glass designed to cover a format many times greater than the APS-C format and its solid metal housing perched on the end of an adapter ring that's as long as a Hasselblad body substantially altering the camera's handling and centre of gravity. The thing gets incredibly nose heavy.

In the end I gave up and sold off all my Hasselblad gear, then sold of all my Nikon gear and am happily ensconced with DP Merrills and Fuji X cameras, all of which have better lenses than any of that Hasselblad glass, which performs brilliantly on a 55x55mm square as it was designed to do, but on a 16x24mm rectangle - not so much. The resolution will disappoint you.

Thank you. That is very helpful. I don't feel there will be many outings where the DP2M will not be by my side, even though it won't meet each circumstance, so was thinking I might be better off with an SD-1 giving me so more "light" flexibility. The Hasselblad is not a lightweight outfit, but has the same "thoughtful" picture making process the Merrill incites in me.
